Erod...I'm pretty sure that the only things that can be controlled off the steering wheel are devices that have a learning remote....you can then program that remote to respond to buttons on the steering wheel. The IPOD doesn't have such a remote, so you have to command it manually. It's a small price to pay for such a great device. If you learn something different, let me know.

Slight delay here... I think UPS only hires complete idiots. My package has been misrouted twice today and there is nothing they can do for me now and I will not be getting this till Monday.

Touchdown, TN, The Pioneer adapter can be ordered from Soundscape, where you're going to get the PIOGM-1. They'll give you the part number. I got mine from a car stereo shop in Nashville, only because Soundscape was temporarily out of them. And, to confirm, you'll have 2 Aux inputs!!!!

Craig, I'm sorry I don't have pictures. To show a picture now, all you'd see is a wire coming out of the console, with the console cover shut on top of it, and the IPOD sitting in the cup holder. I should have taken pictures showing the routing of the wires used during installation. IF you still want to see what I've got, email me at rlandis@comcast.net, and we'll work out a time for me to show you my H2. My business is in Berry Hill, if that's near you.

Damn Klaus...behind the dash sure is getting crowded...

The Soundgate (not Soundscape) PIOMG1 is on back order from Soundgate. Does anyone know who stocks this part? Also, I need a part number for the "IP bus to RCA adapter from Pioneer."

Patriot,

Good questions... Unfortunately, the parts have not arrived yet.

I went ahead and ordered the Blitzsafe antenna, based on info from the XMFan web site and forum:

http://www.xmfan.com

The Blitzsafe antenna does come with an adhesive pad to stick it on the roof if you are not happy with the magnetic mount.

The single connector antennas are part of what they are calling "second generation" XM equipment, so that may explain the better performance and lower price.

I'll know more after UPS visits me this week.

I found these after a search, they have to wait on the PIOGMV2 also, but the price seems good:

Soundgate PIOGM1 For Pioneer 6 or 12-disc CD changers and XM Satellite Radio Tuner to late model Chevrolets $90.97


Pioneer CD-RB10 COMPACT DISC ADAPTOR $28.26

[Patriot]

Klaus,

I noticed the Blitzsafe is much less exspensive than say a Terk-3???

Why??

If you don't mind getting a few scratches on the top of my H2..is this little Blitz AS STRONG an anteena than the other button-magnet types?

I don't mind the scrathes..I just want a good, strong antenna that is rather inconspicuous on top of the H2.

Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2003 5:26 pm Post subject: PIOGM1 thank you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a quick note to all XM fans to say "Thanks" for the overwhelming support of our new PIOGM1, GM to Pioneer/XM interface. We shipped our first pieces to a retail outlet in Arizona on October 15, and the response has been incredible.

I'd like to clear up a few issues...
1. OnStar continues to work just fine with the installation of the PIOGM1.
2. PIOGM1 can operate Pioneer changer only, XM receiver only, or can do both at once.
3. PIOGM1 can be used as a simple AUX input device.
4. PIOGM1 works in virtually all 2004 GM vehicles with the "Band" button (excluding Cadillac sedans).
5. PIOGM1 works in most 2003 GM's, even though they may not be 'XM ready'.
6. On factory systems where the radio includes a "Band" button, and the vehicle is equipped with a factory CD Changer, the CD Changer will continue to work.
7. Factory radios that do NOT have a "Band" button and do have a factory changer will have to have the factory changer disconnected (this is just a few car models).

IMPORTANT...
8. There is a text issue with the Pioneer 910 receiver. We know about this problem, and are taking the steps necessary to correct the manner in which the text displays. This interface will be called "PIOGM1V2", and will be available in about three weeks (app. Nov. 15).

This isn't a sales pitch, I just wanted to clear up some issues that I've read about in the posts.

Thanks again,
Rob Putman

I don't think the PIE adapter will work. IIRC from my reading, the PIE adapters require an EXISTING external GM changer to tap into.

Please call them to be sure.

Hummer17 I will know if the factory Nav works with the cd changer via the Soundgate adapter as soon as UPS visits me which should be within 2 days. Hopeully Wednesday I will have it all working. I will post as soon as I do.

Can anyone tell me if I can connect one device via RCA (iPod) and one device via the IP bus (XM receiver) at the same time?

[H2Dude]

Klaus,

Thanks for all the research on the DVD/XM hook up through the radio. I also ordered the adapter and cable from log jam and it shipped today.

Now I need to go out and get the XM tuner. Any suggestions on the best XM Pioneer tuner(model #) or DVD system?

The way I understand the adapter is I should be able to hook up the XM and one additional device (DVD) via the 2nd aux input.

[H2Dude]

I want to thank all of you for sharing great info on installing the PIOGM1V2 and Pioneer GEX910 xm reciever.

It took me a few hours and I couldn't have done it without the help and support from the members on this fourm.

I do have one problem. The XM plays fine and sounds great in my 2004 H2 with the Bose 6 disk changer. I hit the band button and it goes from AM FM CD then Aux 1 and Aux 2.

The problem Im having is that I get no display on Aux 1 and Aux 2. The Display works fine using the other sources(AM/FM/CD).

The steering wheel controls also work fine. Any suggestions. Do you think I have a bad PIOGM1V2?

[hinten]

The partnumbers you need to order are:
PIOGM1
and
PIO/P-RCA

The last piece will allow you to connect any RCA in to the AUX input.

[Erod]

Acces full,

Well I have one more question for you. Since you have your IPOD on your H2, can you control the IPOD using your Steering Wheel controls or do you control directly through the IPOD? I am strongly considering the IPOD, However there are some pretty nice jukeboxes Like the OMNI LINK Jukebox which provides you with wireless sinking or the Kendwood keg.
I am asking you this since it would be nice if I could control the Jukebox using my steering wheel controls. Thank you very much for your time

[SunsetGuy]

You're sweet dude!

How did you come up with this fix?

[Klaus]

Update on the Logjam Electronics website:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>NOTICE: (11/012/03 7:30am) Logjam Electronics and Soundgate are out-of-stock on the PIOGM1. Soundgate has indicated that they will have the new release PIOGM1V2 before the end of November, which means we will have it by the end of November also. Once we receive more inventory from Soundgate, we will ship all existing backorders that day, and then if there is any inventory left, we will place it in our website inventory for any new orders that come in. If you want to get on the waiting list, place your order now! Remember, Logjam Electronics never charges your credit card until the order actually ships!
- - Logjam Electronics Management

The Soundgate PIOGM1V2, an update from the original PIOGM1, addresses the text issue with the Pioneer 910 receiver and corrects the manner in which the text displays. Like the PIOGM1, the "V2" allows you to either add a Pioneer 6 or 12 disc P-Bus CD Changer and/or add a Pioneer XM Satellite receiver, or use the device as an auxiliary input converter in certain 2001 - 2004 General Motors factory radios (see specific application list below). The PIOGM1V2 utilizes sophisticated microprocessor control and advanced software design to flawlessly match the Pioneer CD changer and/or XM Tuner to the GM factory audio systems. Includes factory-match connectors for fast, easy installation. Compatible with the Pioneer CDX-P670, P650, P630 and PD6(in-dash) 6-disc IP-Bus CD changers as well as the CDX-P1270, P1250 and P1230 12-disc IP-Bus CD changers. Also compatible with the GEX-P900XM and GEX-FM903XM XM Tuners.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
