13902 & Grom Ipod Adapter

[Kiriyama]

A couple of months back, I bought a GROM iPod adapter after reading that it worked even on the older stereos where the CD slot is at the bottom, like mine. I couldn't (and still can't) afford an iPod but wanted to spread the overall cost out a bit by buying and installing the adapter first.

I THEN read that there is one OEM stereo that it won't work with, number 13902... MINE!

I tried PMing the member who reported that but got no reply so as I still haven't managed to test the adapter and still have it installed, I just wanted to know if anyone else had experienced the same problem?

sorry mate, i must have missed it.

infact i have just checked and its still unread in my inbox , although the link on the main page said '0 new messages'.

Anyway, as ive said, for me i installed the Grom unit and got no sound what so ever. the only thing it did for me was act as an expensive in car ipod charger

i emailed grom and was sent several 'upgrades', but none of them made it work.

Sorry to hear it mate, maybe you got a dodgy one :eerrrmm: When I finally get round to testing mine I'll let you know.

Not meaning to bump this thread, but I have the same setup with the 13902 headunit and GromAudio iPod adapter. My CD changer doesn't recognise anything attached, will charge the iPod though. I did ask Grom before I ordered it via e-mail and even sent photos across (showing the front including model number and connectors on the back) saying I wouldn't order it unless they could tell me in writing it definitely would work. After £15 of import tax and racing to the post office before it closed, it doesn't work. Huge disappointment and no answer from them as yet. I imagine I have the upper hand as I paid over Paypal with a credit card.
