I know I have asked before, but I found this XM LINK (http://www.logjamelectronics.com/piegm12pcpiox.html) Is anyone using this hardware?

These adapters have a checkered history. Some people had problems of lock-ups, where they would need to disconnect the adapters from the vehicle to "reset" them. Also, these adapters have been known to cause other problems with the GM Databus. For example, dealers attempting to download computer updates using a Tech2 have had problems when the adapters were installed. Another thing to note is that you still have to buy the Pioneer XM Tuner Module to plug into this adapter.
It's best to buy the GM XM Radio Kit if you want integrated XM Radio.

gawd...It looks like I am not going to get out of this cheap. I have a roady that I have used for years...and I wanted to use it in the H2. Now I have to go though all this crap to use the XM I am already paying for! AHHH!
I hate to see something not working right, and I will probably use JP, or Factory.

Dealer said they will get me the kit for $275.00. I asked about self instal...I am sure I can do it.

The equipment you get from JP Customs IS factory Delphi equipment. If you order from the dealer just be sure it comes with the integrated wiring harness if needed.

I will Jonahs! They were suppose to call me back, but never did.(dealer) So I will probably go with JP. Just making sure I check all my options.

Dealer is quoting me from united radio...he said the kit has a small wire for the antenna...not a "XM" radio antenna....kinda weird! He said I just run it up the side of the windshield!? Any way I can get a pic of the kit from united radio?

For the small difference in money I'd stay with factory equipment.
