Just disconnecting the plug at the radio will not allow the radio to go into the aux mode. The instructions list disconnecting the CD changer plug at the radio, but not at the changer.
Euclid, you may want to add that to the instructions. Again, sorry if this has been covered, but I spent about an hour till I figured this out. The info may help someone out. Otherwise the install is very quick and the directions are very good.

I have a '01 Cab and I had a similar issue installing the PIE kit which closely resembles this one. The one thing that was not in their instructions either, but is shown in the install pics by Euclid is the fact that the green plug in the middle must be disconnected so that the Becker unit does not keep reverting back to the CD changer and attempt to access the discs. With the green plug connected, the unit will only temporarily play the iPod until it realizes there is no cd there and then revert back to the radio; it will not show or stay on the AUX only selection. Only the new blue connector and the original yellow connector are to be used. If you do this, you won't have to connect the wires at the changer.
