No, on lots of issues....
I found the install location. Went to the dealer who gave me a diagram. Finally the location based on that pretty weak drawing. Seems to be under the glovebox. Theres 2 connectors down there that dont plug into anything. Neither fit, but I'm checking in the AM to see if theres an intermediate harness. One has 3 wires and a bare ground, bet anything thats the one.
there are no open ports on the radio. when they talk about opening a port, they mean in the radio itself.
I've ordered, cuz i'll need it anyway, the helm manual so I can figure it all out. dealer still says he will reprogram the XM, just as if it was one that got scrambled and had to be redone. the only thing that might bite me is if they have to get a license code from GM or something and they refuse because it wasnt on the invoice. i doubt thats the case tho. with this amount of work, i can understand why no dealers do it. so much easier to put in a $75 FM modulated POS and charge $400.....
and the antenna connectors are a bit different, gotta get the dealer better info on that. the one I have will work, but I am going to see if I can get another endcap....
anyone else have any more helpful info?
