I just installed my XM Kit!

As BalanceMan said, works fine. More later...

[OldHiker]

Will this work on an '04 Nav unit?

Paragon,

The kit you point out is NOT GM. This new kit is actually GM parts! The Digital Tuner Module looks just like factory installed units! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Does it matter if it's GM or Pioneer since it's controlled through the stock radio?

[Klaus]

Partsguy,

Please check your Private Messages.

[pushrod]

Have you been able to install the XM?

[prplprowlr]

klaus,

I am wanting to do this to my 2003 asap can you please provide the part #'s used for this install of the 2004 Navigation Radio and the GM add on xm radio kit?

Partsguy,
on the 2 above what type of price can you give compared to gmpartsdirect.

Thanks Ron

Yes, very much so. The Pioneer kit has a 3rd party adapter (in this case made by PIE) which converts GM commands into Pioneer commands. These adapters have been very troublesome. Problems like losing presets, disrupting diagnostic testing with a GM Tech 2, etc.

I have gone ahead and ordered the GM kit. To be continued...

[Klaus]

I'm glad your install went well.

The bracket worked fine in my 03. The only thing I did was to remove the captive nuts from the bracket and slide some flat captive nuts on the dash support behind the glove box. That way, I could install the bracket with the XM Tuner already snapped in.

The only problem I see with the antenna is the 03s with a sunroof.

[Klaus]

I suspect the 24 pin connector plugged into the back of the radio. If you read the instructions, what you are basically doing is removing the positive and negative wiring from the connector, then adding the replacement positive and negative wiring from the kit, which is essentially a set of "Y" adapters to give the XM tuner power. One of the pins could be loose or bent.

The only other thing I can think of is a loose or broken fuse.

Make the dealer fix it. You paid them to install it, right?

[Klaus]

Everyone please stand by! I just ordered the kit yesterday. Please give me a couple of weeks to get the kit and attempt to install it.

My main reason to post info about the kit was to let folks know that there *MAY* be a factory kit as opposed to aftermarket adapters which have been flakey.

This kit is NOT intended for the H2, but I believe it will work. In fact, I've put my money where my mouth is and ordered the kit myself. My truck will be the "test mule" - So there is no need for anyone here to risk their money on the kit until I give it a shot.

Klaus,
Q: Are we to understand that you have installed all the components for XM, and you are simply waiting for the H2 OnStar/XM roof antenna form your part dealer?
Q: Have you tried the components with another XM antenna to confirm that the system operates properly?

The reason I ask, if your system operates, I would like to order a set of components for my 2003 H2 right away!

[pushrod]

Is there any reason to be concerned that the kit will not work with the 2004 6 disc CD Radio?

[partsguy]

Who is the supplier?

[Klaus]

Here are scans of the GM XM Kit's instructions.

Drty has a friend???

[Klaus]

Hell yeah! UPS delivered it about 2 AM, and I completely installed it in 15 minutes!

It would have been done quicker, but I had to take pictures and write up the install docs!
