Default why the &#*% won't this work?

ok i'll give you guys the whole story:
i want to put my ipod and use my psp in the car. but my deck has no aux. inputs, only a bus connector with two RCA input (bus inputs) for say a CD changer or something. so i just bought this POS for $100:
it's the sony XA-300 aux. input:

so now this is how i have it hooked up but nothing works? the deck does change on the display to "AUX" which is something i never had before i hooked up this XA-300 but there's no sound coming through?
how it is hooked up right now:

Did you buy it used? Maybe its a brick.

Did you pay for half now and half later? Maybe the seller is witholding half of the parts you need.

Or..........

Try connecting the iPod to the "INPUT" terminals instead?

RTFM?

^it is used, but it should work because the deck does turn to "aux" on the display, which only happends when a bus input is connector. and no manual.

take it back and use a FM Modulator ... it will require 12V supply and switch but will sound better ... it's what I use to run PS2 for sound in my car
