GROM Audio Upgrades

[Dvbimmerk]

Went to install today and put the unit in the back of the radio, jumped all the correct wires, had it connect to the GROM unit, but no sound. I then read the instructions and the last bullet point is "If you have a DSP radio, you need an extra adapter, and you have to mount in the trunk."



Grrrr.....

Damn instructions! Lol

I have DSP and installed in trunk. I also have SAT NAV and apparently b/c of my setup I did not need the adapter. So I purchased the DSP adapter and am not using it.

PM me if you still need it...

Did you still install the main box behind the dash so you didn't have to run a USB cable from rear to front?

No I installed in trunk. I had the entire interior out at the time so I just ran a long USB patch cable to the center storage area from the trunk. That’s where I installed my USB/AUX port.

Ended up returning both the HD radio module / antenna and the USB block because for cars with DSP, you have to not only install the unit in the trunk where the CD changer goes, but them you have to run a wire up to the radio, and I didn't want to have to undo my interior to do this. I'm going to get their bluetooth kit which also has to be installed in the trunk, but I don't have to run extra wires to the radio or up front. I won't have the ability to handle phone calls via bluetooth, but that's ok. I really just want to stream audio from my phone. More details to come.

Final update. I did get the BT module installed in the trunk. I opted to not wire the ability for hands free phone calls, so I'm just streaming audio, but it works pretty good. Quick to connect to the phone, streams clear audio, no delay or breakdown of audio quality. Overall, I'm impressed with this and our recommend it to others.
