Harleypingman is correct. I had this exact same problem and found a couple of threads here of guys with the same problem. The issue is that the instructions dated 06/03/10 have incorrect wire assignments for two of the pins. The updated instructions dated 09/14/10 have the correct assignments. If you have it wired with the 6/3 instructions, you will have the *exact* symptoms you describe (I certainly did). I updated the wiring to follow the 9/14 instructions and it sounded perfect.
I tried to upload both of the HD PDF files here, but they are too large for the forum (weak!).
Here are the correct pinouts (from 09/14/10 instructions):
Insert the tan/red wire terminal into cavity 8.
Insert the violet/gray wire terminal into cavity 19.
Insert the tan/blue wire terminal into cavity 31

I have a 2011 SG and I will not be hooking up navi or anything just the iPod interface to the radio, will I have 2 extra couplers leftover that won't get hooked up to anything?
Harleypingman & RockerBob are on the money - did the install last fall, vocals right side only - checked the forum, got the revised instructions - made corrections and resolved all issues
Can anyone with a SG or RG confirm that I should have two 6 pin connectors left over? I know one goes to the nav unit if installed, but not sure if I'm supposed to plug the other in somewhere. Unless that is the issue, the problem must be in the ipod plug or the module itself. I rechecked everything again today, confirmed the wiring again, and tried yet another iPod with the same result. I've attached a pic of the 2 leftover connectors....

You are absolutely right Rockerbob. After seeing NC Pirate had the same issue, I found the solution on the other IPod Interface thread last night during my install. Great work guys. My interface instructions were up to date (2-2011), but I was going off of the 35 pin instruction sheet and it's dated 6-2010. Again, thanks.
Nice thread, Im subscribing. Question; what is the part number for the IP harness and will it work if I already have the xm harness and module installed?
