I was recently trying to install my Ipod into my 5th generation Honda Prelude. However, I'm running into problems with the sound ONLY coming out of only the front speakers. This is how I set up: I plugged my cables (red/white) into the AUX port/Line-in port, and when i play my ipod, only sound is coming out of the front speakers and I cannot adjust the volume. Is there anything I can do to make this work? Also, the headunit I am using is the Alpine CDA-7864 (kinda old). Thanks for any advice.

I'm sorry, I meant my FRONT SPEAKERS.

And yes, I have my iPod plugged into one of the two sets of RCA pigtails on the back of my HU.

Let me clarify the problem more. The sound is only coming from the 2 FRONT speakers, and when when I play my ipod, i can hear it while my tuner is on, and when my cd-player is playing (it sounds like its playing in the background).

Also, can you tell me more about this adapter? What does it do? Where can i purchase it from? I'm clueless. Thanks!
