XM install complete

[H2Dude]

cmb31078,

I appreciate the link but it covers the center counsel and not the dash where the radio is. Is there another post covering that?

Thanks again.

H2Dude,

When you take out the center console there are two screws in the front of it that attach the center console to the radio bezel. They are hard to see in the post by Happy Jack but they are there...up under the console lip a bit. The two hex bolts you see in the radio bezel are the other two item you need to remove. From there, there are only pressure clips that hold the top of the radio bezel level with the dash board.

To recap:

1) Remove center console. Make sure you get the two foward most screws that attach the console to the radio bezel.

2) Pull center console back about 1-2 inches.

3) Remove two hex bolts in radio bezel.

4) Pull straight back on radio bezel.

Once this is done you will easily see three screws that hold in the radio.

I removed the glove compartment to allow room to route the IP-Bus wire up under dash.

Hope this helps!!

I got mine and I am trying to install it. There is a yellow and black wire off of the PIOGM1 Harness from soundgate... Where do those go to.. Are we suppose to hook those up to power and ground or leave them alone. Mine is not working and I am trying to figure out why. Thanks for a quick response anyone.

Craig,

Didn't you get instructions with yours??

Yes, the Yellow and Black wires are for power and ground. They recommend also putting an in-line fuse (5amp) with the power line.

Make sure the power is "continueous" and not "inginition-on-only".

That is what I thought. Mine is still not working.. I am trying to add a cd changer as I am getting xm soon. I do not think the changer is compatiable. They said any on soundgates site then I get the device and it sasy the 1270 and I have the 1280. I guess time to order the next one.

So is the yellow and black off of the adapter harness power for the pioneer device or does that need to be hooked up for power to the Soundgate adapter? Thanks in advance.
