When I got back in the car and turned the ignition on again, the head unit switched to (started up in) AM Radio...which is weird 'cause I never listen to AM radio!! I seem to recall at that time, the temperature was cold in the car and outside (~35 deg F).
It was ok today, but the fact that this happens randomly is what puzzles me.

If problems persist, well then we need to get further into it.

The extra trim prevents the connector from going all the way into the socket. I discovered it by examining the connetor and the socket. There is a metal or plastic shroud on the Sony that is designed to prevent the connector from fitting.

Thanks Scott! I'll look forward to receiving the adapter and will certainly let you know how it turns out. I really appreciate the extra work you have done on this.
Cheers,
