True, but that should be for the HON model adapter with the additional changer cable needed for 99 and older models. Uncertain what vehicle or adapter that is being referred.

Not quite sure I followed that.

So how can I test to see if somehow I've blown my USA Spec?

If your adapter is no longer under warranty you could route the audio signal through the auxiliary input(disc 6 instead of 5). This is an RCA style connection, but those style adapters are cheap everywhere. Downside you would lose any direct control/playlist from HU controls, but you would gain a video out from the iPod. Perhaps add a secondary screen somewhere.

Did you ever sort this?

Curious about the results as well.

Thought about this a bit more. If the disc 6 aux-in was still functional then perhaps the iPod portion is also still functional. Replace the cable coming from the adapter to the iPod. Might as well upgrade to a charging cable for the 2nd Gen Touch and 3GS phone. This is only if the radio swap did not help.
