What's the difference other than the obvious sticker badging and probably the housing..... Does the TimeTrax box have issues with 1.0.8.1 that the MP3Car direct XM adapter does not????? I still haven't tried to see if I'm actually getting a analog signal that should be present on the RCA outputs of the XM receiver, however I've tried to record, using XPs recorder, from my line in jacks... this is where the XM is plugged into, by unplugging the RCA cable from XM and "scratching" them together and to frame ground. The results, yet not completely accurate.... have shown the clicks and spikes, generated whenever the jacks were shorted and/or frame ground connected.... I'm going to try this with a accurate audio source to verify that the line in jacks are good and working.... I also plan to take the RCA outs from XM and plug them into a amplifier input and see if I'm getting any output from the XM receiver.... which I'm starting to suspect is either bad and/or Streetdeck is telling it not to output or muting it all together... I hope to have some kind of answer over the weekend.....
