2nd Cad Nav in the Av - In & Working! PART 1

[sperry]

 I'd only look for it if it doesn't work...
If you have any interest in XM, there's a member selling one with an antenna here. Now's the time!

[gable74]

Who and how much........does he have everything i need to install it?  I am not familiar with that setup.

[sperry]

Click on the "here" hyperlink of my previous post!
...And ask him!

The included equipment:  I think so...

 You may have to hassle with it (theftlock)but another member was able to take care of that...

Remember, it was a $325 option.

[gable74]

Got my antenna, quicker than i thought.  I will setting up programming maybe by the end of the week.  They changed the part number on that antenna module.....the new number is #15135178.

[sperry]

                         Noted.. I'll edit the other post.

I tried to contact you, in a timely manner about the XM, I presume you found it..

I guess you're installing the antenna now...?  

[AvaZ71]

Does anyone have the part # for factory XM antenna

Thanks...Sperry

One question do you know if there is a difference,XM module from 04' Denali,going into my 03'Avalanche.

...

[sperry]

I really doubt it but you should use the `04 Antenna; There were changes made there.

By rumor:
Remember, if it isn't new, get the vehicle's VIN it came from; you may need it to restore the lock. It isn't locked like the head units.I believe Horacio may now more about it.

SPERRY, where does this antenna get mounted?  I know it goes inside the dash near the HU, but you dont have a drawing or anything do you?  Does the module install flat or verticle?

[sperry]

I'll bet you have some rosey statements about now, trying to find the damn thing...

  You'll have to reach in and find about a 2½" square cutaway in the dashtop framework, toward the cowl/front, from the HU hole and center, then look for the mount hole by the antenna's frame. Picture the practical cable-length fit of the antenna (if they hadn't changed it) so you won't go too far.
 It lays flat with the dashtop. I have a crude drawing that MAY help, I'll send it to you.
 (A picture's worth a thousand words...)

[gable74]

yes sir...please send.  I am waiting till the MIC gets in before i install the antenna.  I will just do them both at the same time.  Scott mentioned something a few posts back about, "they" didnt turn on the MIC when they programmed the HU.  What does that mean?  Do they have to "turn on" the MIC during programming?  I thought that was plug and play?  I just figured if it was hooked up when the HU was programmed all would be fine.  I am anxiously awaiting the drawing...... .  Thanks Steve.

[gable74]

Got it!  Thanks Steve.

[sperry]

 It's a seperate thing... The HU is the friendly one; the theftlock mostly. The amp needs to know the environment. The mic, I would believe, shouldn't matter. However Scott experienced it, so...?

 My mic STILL isn't in yet!! (I think they're jackin' me around..)

  The noise cancelling (automatic volume control, as they wish to call it) is selectable in the audio menu; I leave mine off. I would believe the amp may send error codes without it, but that's all.

  The antenna is in a different place to open-up, right? Install it so you can play!
That is if you can find the "spot"!!

[gable74]

if my MIC is not in by tomorrow, i am going to go ahead and install the antenna.  I tried to get a hold of Scott earlier....i got a line on a 2003 changer that will work for his setup.  I sent him the link so i hope he gets it.  Are you still looking for one?   I can send the link to you also if you want it.

Hey Jimmie

The mic gets programed in the amp. when programing it you can turn it on or off in the amp, unless it is on in the amp the HU can't turn it on. If it is not install it might not be able to be turned on in the amp untill it sees it.
Scott

[gable74]

So at what point in the programming procedure would the AMP get turned on?  I was looking at the programming DOC, and i have a few things to get done.

1.) program the AMP for my speaker setup
2.) remove any error codes that have generated since i did the install
3.) turn the MIC on

Will there be a prompt on the techII for programming the MIC during the programming procedure?

[pbuilder]

programing the amp is a 2 min job. you are tell the bcm that it is there and then it sets up the the amp for the truck it is in. You then can check volume % for each speeker as well as onstar, the mic if it is on or off as well as other things.
If the mic is off you turn it on.
Scott

[gable74]

Thanks Scott,  I got the MIC in today so i will be getting it all programmed tomorrow.  The breakdown drawing shows the MIC being mounted on the front of the console on the drivers side...it that correct?  It has a plug on it also...i guess im gonna have to remove the plug and hard wire it to the AMP harness.  Can anyone give me a little more direction on exactly where this thing mounts?

[pbuilder]

Jimmie

GO look at where it is mounted on a yukon so you get the iddea where it should go. What I did was drill 4 little hole with a dremal and hot glued the mic to the black plastis on the console kinda like where the changer is. I also bought a pig tail for the mic and redid the pig tall witn a 6 ft mini plug ext. wire that you can get a radio shack.
Scott

[gable74]

okay, i have the MIC installed and the Antenna installed.  I hope its not absolutely critical where that antenna goes.  It is flat (horizontal) with the dash about 3 inches below it.  I mounted it on a dash bracket about 2 inches behind the radio to the left a little.  There is no metal above it so i think it should be fine.  I could not find ANY other place for it to go.  Also, that was the only place that had a spot for the bracket screw.  It has the circuit board side up to the dash.  Is that right?  Well, i have an appointment at 9am tomorrow morning at the dealer to get this sucker programmed.  Im pretty excited to get this all wrapped up.....i will keep you posted.

[pbuilder]

Jimmie go drive it see if you like it.
Scott

[sperry]

It should start working!...
   Worst case, very sluggish, gradually improving over a few miles.

Go play!

[gable74]

LOL...i wish i could but i still got a little guy named "THEFTLOCK" to deal with.  remember?  I can bypass it in ACC, but once i start the truck it resets and theftlock engages again......i will have to wait till tomorrow .  Im hoping where i got the antenna will be okay.  We will see!

[sperry]

Oh   Hmmm OK.

  That would be a bit of a hassle.  Do you get anything in the garage, or do you have metal in the roof?
The driveway?

 `Just a thought, but tomorrow we'll see!
