Any luck?

I better change my avatar...

ya... we're all about the duct tape.

Want some advice?... Never listen, or take advice from a bestbuy installer. There's a reason they work at bestbuy. Ether no experience, or they're not very good. Around here, the difference between a Car audio installer(like me) or a bestbuy installer is about $50k a year. I hope nobody on here is a bestbuy installer... nothing personal. It's just my professional opinion. The antenna connector on the xm antenna is called a fakra connector. If you have a dual feed factory xm antenna, you need this. http://www.myradiostore.com/antennas-cables/for-cables-miscellaneous/gm-dual.html If your factory antenna is single feed(yellowish) you can do it two ways... You can use this, http://www.myradiostore.com/sirius/sirius-antennas/sirius-antennas-extensions/gm-single.html Or you can just take the fakra connector off and plug it into the gex-920. That is what I usually do, just make sure to tie the antenna cable up so that it doesn't come loose. Use this site for info. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-oAgSFFZs3rc/tech/kb465.html Or if your truck doesn't have a factory antenna on it, you can swap your onstar antenna to a 06-up sharkfin antenna. Like this http://cgi.ebay.ca/GM-Truck-SUV-Shark-Fin-XM-Antenna-NEW-06-07-15821860-/160541414922?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item256103960a If you do the swap, you'll need the factory harness as well, or the single feed adapter listed above.

Ya If you have the xm lump, you can plug it in to the gex-920. I don't have on one mine(Canadian truck) so I'm not sure if it has the dual feed antenna lead on those factory xm antennas. You might need an adapter. If someone could chime in... I only had the one antenna on my roof, so I swapped in a 06-up sharkfin antenna which has xm built in(single feed).

As long as you have a avic or 'p' in the model number, your deck has ip-bus, and yo can use a plug in xm receiver. The dock plugged in to the aux input should give you about the same sound quality as a xm module, you will just have one more display on the dash. Also with an intergraded sat module, you will be able to control the channels with the steering wheel controls, instead of the display or remote on a docked piece. But an sat module for the pioneer(GEX-P920XM) will cost more, and you will not be able to move it from car to car either. I see them on flee bay for about $100. Xm and Sirius are now merged.

What an Idiot. I left a comment.

We're worldwide...

Go Boston I got a real hate-on for Vancouver. That team hasn't won a cup in their 40 year history, and i hope the go another 40 years cupless.

So no perimeter lighting then but at least you have a car starter

I thought you mentioned remote starting it? Does it have a remote starter?

When using the remote start remote for door locks, the perimeter lights don't work with all interface modules.

K, sounds good.

hows sunday?

Nice Rack!

That makes sense. I knew a fuse took double it's load before it trips, but i didn't know about the 'crest factor'. I usually do fuse my system a little on the small size, and they never blow.

An aftermarket radio interface? That was it? Shitty. It must have ground out the data line or something. AG least you figured it out

What is that?

Any luck?

Should be alright.

Is it a Scytek VG8000? Sorry, I got confused. The last alarm manual you posted was the astra 777, which we where testing at my work, they're made by a guy who used to work at compustar, so they're very close to the same design. They seemed to work good. I did one of those camera alarms once... This is from 2006

I'm not familiar with that part#(vg800). Good to hear it's coming together.

Because the motor wires rest at ground, i don't think you can just pulse the wire with current. You could hook up some relays to break the motor wires when the module is triggered, that way your windows would still work like factory and still have the windows roll down.

Wow those instructions suck. It's wired the same as the dei window piece, it doesn''t say if it gives you express up or down features. If don't know if you will lose the factory express down though. I started wiring up one in my truck on day and decided not to after figuring out how much work and losing the express feature.

I'm not familiar with that window module. The ones I've done will work because the window modules bypass the switches. So then they work anytime, key on or not. You will lose the touch to go go all the way down feature on the factory switch though.
