Folks, I would just like to say a quick thank you to all who have contributed to this tread. I received my kit this morning and thanks to the great work instructions posted here I have been able to install in under an hour.

Cheers

Great stuff - glad it's working for you - it's a great bit of kit. I've taken to driving around with the whole of my ipod on random - if you don't feel like a certain tune just move to the next one. It's like the best digital radio station in the world - you never know what will be played next but you know that you'll like it :)

hi can anyone who hase one of the GROM adaptors confirm that it works with the ipod touch please i mailed the company through ebay but as yet not heard back

I can't confirm this but it's meant to work with all ipod's gen 4 and up (gen 4 is the Video ipod).

I'd suggest you mail the company that makes it directly rather than the eBay seller - GromAudio have been pretty speedy in responses in the past.

Web mail query thingy here.

Or you could even ring them - they're west coast US so ring late in the evening UK time.

Hi Guys

Firstly thanks to Sonnet for a great find.

I received the audio adapter from Grom a couple of weeks ago and just got round to fitting (more like got away from the girlfriend). I removed the seat heater controls, vent and un-did the bolts.

Pulled the stereo out, chose the obvious choice of 2 cables that came with the adapter plugged it in connected my iPod Touch and hey presto it works all in about 10 minutes.

FANTASTIC.....Hand shakes and manly back slapping all round to Sonnet.

I have a question about a electronic box type thing that is under the dash tray....What is it?

The cable that is plugged in at the far left of the box runs down behind the stereo were it was just hanging with a cut off end....What did it do or should do?

Cheers

Alex

Looks like a nokia handsfree kit to me (non Bluetooth probably) but worth keeping there in case it is or if you do get a nokia Bluetooth kit cos the wiring/connections are the same.

I received the update for my non-working ipod interface today.... and it's not better. I'm very deceptive of this unefficient work....

i received 1 which doesnt work properly and they said they would send an update so i hope mine works properly once the new one arrives out of curiousity what is wrong with your adapter mine works for about 10 mins the switches back to radio and i have to restart the car and sometimes it just plays the music but wont let me control the ipod from HU and even then still shuts off after 10 mins

It seems that I received a wrong microchip. Dimitri (from grom audio) said that he will send me another chip. I hope that it will be the good one this time!

mine seems to work for a while the stops recognizing the adapter and goes back to the radio and only way i can get it back on is to restart the car

Mmmm, installed mine, no problems.....However. It takes about 10mins for the HU to see the IPOD after I start the engine, is this right? with the engine not running its there immediately, most of the time.

Am I missing something like a "scan all CD changers" button combination?? or a Reset HU by certain button presses at the same time.

I have the 13903 if that helps.

apart from that when it works it sounds the dogs you know whats....!!
