XM WOES

"First Rule of XM-Club, Listen To Klaus!"


My TNR-Navigation & XM saga continues:


Purchased a used INR (non-touch screen) and brand new GM XM Radio Kit http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

“Professional” installer breaks the headliner trying to install the GM XM Radio antenna http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

INR installed http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Can’t find a damn GM dealer that will program the INR to my VIN http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

Returned both INR and GM XM Radio and bought a brand new TNR (Klaus told me to get a new TNR from the beginning) http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

New headliner in http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

New TNR and aftermarket XM Radio installed http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Extremely poor Navigation reception and XM Radio works but the artist, song and preset displays awry! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

Took apart the dash myself and found GPS antenna connection bad, easy fix http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Discovered that the VSS wire was never installed http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

This Friday I have an appointment to get the VSS installed and the XM “fixed.” They used a P.I.E. adapter (I know, Klaus warns against this).

Lesson? Should have listened to Klaus in the first place and bought a new TNR and stuck with the GM-XM Kit! Three months of pain!

Rule #3 Always Refer to Rule # 1 or 2 First and you will never go wrong.

Ok, I'll bite. Klaus, how do I get my million dollar mortgage paid off immediately?

[Klaus]

OK guys... I'm not E.F. Hutton, OK? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Hell, I'd be happy to get my H2 paid off! The problem is I keep buying NAV units, winches, XM Kits, Supercharger, etc. R&D ain't cheap! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

In SoCal, a portapotty would have cost $200K (if you're also buying the 5'x5' land it's sitting on..) http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

Well, after 2 days at teh shop I just got a call that they are NOT able to fix the XM issues. I guess I'm going to have to buy the GM unit...again!

[Klaus]

Go ahead and get the GM XM Kit. You'll be happy (provided they install it correctly).
