    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    I was going to do a write up on adding the ipod/iphone interface, but decided not to go that route. Looks like we're replacing the whole head unit to an aftermarket system.

    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm going to do some adding on to this if anyone is interested in adding an ipod/iPhone interface along with the SIR GM1. I'm told it can't be done to have both coexsist nicely. I was also told the SIR GM1 wouldn't work in the 06 Pontiac Torrent, and...

    The Strobe & Backspin to Return

    I'm sure some others will reappear, or be "tweaked" as time goes on, and they get a feel for what the majority of the people want. I'm sticking around, I'm sure once they get everything situated, things will be good again, and even in it's current state, it's still better than what I have...

    I heard the very end of a Howard 100 news, and it sounded like they said Bubba was signed again. Can anyone confirm or deny? I didn't catch the whole thing.

    Kids Place Live is not equal to Kids Stuff

    My 6 year old loved kids stuff, after the change, he prefers John Denver now. I don't like the change on this channel.

    Sirius Radio not compatible with Best of XM?

    Basically... Tune to channel 98 - Hardcore Sports. If you get it, you can get BoXM. If not, you have the older chipset. So far, from my radios: :mad:SIRJVC1 is NOT compatible. :DSIRGM1 IS compatible. :DSCC1 with JVC Translator IS compatible.

    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    Wow, Haven't looked at this thread in a while. They are supposedly going to release the SIR-GM3A sometime in this liftime which will work with the LAN system. I think this will be a translator that will have the seperate SCC1 Tuner. All I can find is this: Detailed Description Access...

    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    Per a post over on SiriusBackstage, someone ( 23V ) has successfully got this to work on a Chevrolet Equinox with 6 Disc Changes ( No Onstar ) Just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone was interested.

    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    Just an *almost* 1 month update. It's been working fine. The qwirk of "Check XM" or "Not Available" has only popped up 3 times if I remember correctly, which happens when first starting the vehicle, just turning it off then back on cleared it up. This is a average of 4 to 5 starts a day...

    Sirius Channel Update 2/07

    Finally gave it a listen this morning. I honestly expected a channel where every other song was by Green Day or some other mainstream top 40 "punk" group. ( Not that I don't like those groups, but can here them on other channels on a regular basis ) But I actucally like this channel, I've...

    I Oppose the XM-Sirius proposed merger

    I don't think prices will raise, Mainly because, as said, subs will drop. Do you really think they want subs to drop? If I didn't think Sirius was a good deal, I would drop it, and listen to the music of my choosing via my MP3 player.

    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    Before I realized that the SIR-GM1 actucally had a Data In and Data Out, I initially just jumped the Data Out, and tied it in to the data already coming from the vehicle. That was ugly. Sirius would work for about 30 second, and crap out. I finally realized that pin 10 on the SIR-GM1 is...

    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    I don't see that it would cause any issues. The SIR-GM1 is designed to have a data in and data out, Under an install on a compatible unit, the data from the vehicle goes into the data in, then the out to the radio. I was sure to wire it where that exact same thing was happening. The...

    They gidn't give much room with that harness, You need to be quite creative with finding somewhere to put it.

    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    Got a question on SiriusBackstage, that I failed to mention. This head unit is NOT the new GM-LAN based system, but is CLASS-II, GM just rearranged the pinouts. I doubt this will work on a GM-LAN system, as the data code is possibly different.

    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    This board, and siriusbackstage are my two homes. :) I would think this should work in an equinox as well, since they are so close. but who knows. Thanks! I was determined to make it work. Worked very well during my weekend trip.

    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    Also, for reference... This is the port on the SIR-GM1. These appear to be the pinouts that I have figured out. 1 - L audio 2 - R audio ( Could be audio common ) 3 - ground 4 - Class 2 Serial Data Out 5 - +12V DC 6 - Audio Common ( Could Be R audio ) 7 - unknown 8 - unknown 9 -...

    SIR-GM1 Install in 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

    SIR-GM1 in 2006 Pontiac Torrent. This may possibly work in a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox as well, but I have not tried it. The SIR-GM1 is NOT originally compatible with the head unit in the 2006 Pontiac Torrent, even though the connectors all fit. The head unit has the XM/AUX button, and not the...

    06 Pont Torrent W/ Factory XM?

    I know how much of a headache it was trying to find info, and I can find no one who has successfully installed this thing in a torrent who does not have exsisting xm, but can find a few dozen failed installs floating around the web. I just didn't want to give up, until I was 100% positive it...

    06 Pont Torrent W/ Factory XM?

    I Got SIRIUS Working!!! Many thanks to thiggin2 for helping me out with this, without him, I wouldn't have been able to figure out what had to be done. Anyway, in a nutshell, even though the connectors fit perfectly, the SIR-GM1 is not compatible with the head unit in the 2006 Pontiac...

    Best way to get apartment reception?

    That may be an idea! The micro antennas are small enough where it may go unnoticed. Give it a shot, and see what happens.
