Anyone tried the Blaupunkt unit ?

JARO

Mud, are you using hte FM adapter? Is there hope that we might be able to hardwire XM or Sirius into PCM???

mudman2

I have an FM adapter hard wired for my iPod, my plan is to switch its input to a Sirius rcver as well. Dont know of any wireless adapter that work worth a $#@@

rbaron

Do you have PCM? I thought you could not hardwire in to that.

I thought PCM support either XM or Sirius? Dont you just need the sat unit? Is this because of Howard Stern

mudman2

I have an 04 with PCM, the hard wiring is to the antenna connection in back of it. Its still FM but injected directly into the artery.

Abso freakin lutely, could not start my 6am commute any other way.

thanks mudman, cause i was debating if i would buy the factory PCM or go with Kenwood or eclipse(if they choose sirius), I wanted the sirius/navigation/dvd combo.

JARO

so wait...are you saying I can hardwire Sirius? is quality good? What about the antenna? where does it go? any preffered units that would fit the dash nicely?

mudman2

This is what I decided on today and ordered.

Sirius

The antenna will go with the rest in the rear spoiler.

I ordered a Terk antenna because it has 20ft of cable.

JARO

are you going to have it installed or will you tackle this project yourself?

mudman2

I am going to do it myself, I enjoy that sort of thing. I will take pix and post the project when done, but it depends on the weather when I do it

JARO

one more question...why did you choose this particular unit?

mudman2

Footprint. The Blaupunkt unit base is 4 inches by 4 inches and I could not see anywhere to put it that made sense. The Kenwood places the tuner out of site and leaves a small dash mount to find a space for. I remember a lot of XM guys did the same last year.

Thats the unit I have and I really like it. I went with it strictly for size, all the other units were odd sizes and too large for my tastes. I also put the antenna in the spoiler, it makes for a nice clean install, and I put the tuner under the back seat on the passenger side.

JARO

very nice...I wonder where to put it with the PCM in place..

BJ, dod you install it yourself or got the prof. install? How much did you pay? is the spoiler easy to remove?
