The instructions for using the harness with the factory amp are pretty clear, use the RCA connections, not the speaker wires. Is that how you have it wired now?

Yes, I have it hooked up just as the directions say to do - RCA connections and not the speaker wires.

Yeah, still sounds like it is the adapter causing the problem...

Did you have the premium sound?

Yes, it does work like a normal/older adapter as you hook up to the speaker leads. I didn't get the premium as I knew I would be gutting the system after XM expired. Low and behold, on the first day after XM expired I started removing panels.
