Amen Brother!! lol. Great post!
I think this should be stickied, as it's the most comprehensive thread on this issue on any forum I've seen so far.
In regards to sound in mono... it's actually pretty amazing, better than the radio, and on par... of not better than the CD because of the gain difference. The original intention for that input was probably a super-low input signal (a fraction of a volt) , not an iPod or other portable device pushing as much as 3 volts.
Consider that we're using a OEM radio, and a MP3 storage media. Any audiophile... me included... would shudder at the though of hearing in mono...Or an MP3 recording.... On that note, a LP recording doesn't have a stereo track... does it? Someone PM me on that, as it's been a while since LP's for me. lol.
Lastly, the diagram, of the relay provided (5 wire jack) is/should also be capable of switching the ground on the Aux I showed, negating the need for a switch. Someone take a pic of the 5 wire jack/relay and provide a part# for us. lol.
