#1243 of 3125 Re: Adding a Brand new Sound System! [frank07] by dirtywork Jun 19, 2006 (5:46 pm)
Replying to: frank07 (Jun 19, 2006 5:02 pm) I also just got mine installed in my 07 Hoe. What CC told you is true if you plan in changing your radio. I first had my original radio with a cleansweep two alpine amps and a 10" Solo-baric Kicker box. It sounded very nice, but the annoyance was that the chimes and turning signals were also amplifed...very load and embarrassing. The onstar and everything else worked.   So I had them take out the cleansweep and change my radio for an Eclipse AVN6600 and I love it. So doing that the Onstar, chimes, turning signal sounds and my parking assist sensor where gone. They told me that they (PAC-aftermarket modules/interface/adapters)are working on it and supposably it was going to be out by the end of the month. With that we can hook up all our chimes, onstar and parking assist. I paid another $80 for the steering wheel controler, witch can be handy. I hope this helps.

Replying to: frank07 (Jun 19, 2006 5:19 pm) Just tried mine and no movement at all. Hope that helps. Let us know what you find on lowering. I've seen several on-line but none for the air ride shocks that are on mine.

Replying to: tuscotodd (Jun 19, 2006 6:45 am) Thanks for the info. Sounds like about a 30-60 min. job. That's great! The Zoomer video sounded pretty good on the outside shots but the interior shot was kind of muddy. Wasn't really sure what I was hearing. Hope you get your video working so we can hear yours. Also would like to hear the GM perf. exhaust system but haven't heard of anybody that has one yet. Did you look into it or the Gibson?   Thanks again for the info.

Replying to: dirtywork (Jun 19, 2006 5:46 pm) Thanks for the quick reply guys. I hvae almost all Eclipse, inculding the DSP surround system with the central channell aswell. Now my question to you dirtywork is? Bestbuy will not have that PAC-aftermarket modules/interface/adapters yet?... If so what would be the cons as far as installing it with out the PAC-aftermarket modules/interface/adapters.   P.S.- They told me they need it to order the part (forgot the name) in order to make Onstar work etc. WHo did your install dirtywork?   -----   And for the reply for the steering weel I gues i will take it first thing in the morning to have my Tahoe fixed!   Thanks FJ Replies to this message: dirtywork (Jun 19, 2006 10:52 pm)

Replying to: frank07 (Jun 19, 2006 7:33 pm) Frank07,   I think they call it gm900 or something like that. The installers were a local shop www.AdvancedCarCreations.com in Orange County Ca.   The cons is that you will have to live without the onstar services, door chimes, turn signal sounds, and the parking assist sensors. Oh and XM Satallite radio will be lost if you get the eclipse. I know Pioneer has a new one w/ a hard drive and you can use an xm adapter. I think it won't work with out the stock radio any way.   I do hope they come out with it quick because my dash display keeps on saying "Parking assist off"   Also it would be nice to make some kind of sound if you have a door open, low on fuel, tire pressure, etc.   So If you can't live out all that then wait a little longer until they come out with it. If you are impatient like me then get it if you want to enjoy it now. I can live out the chimes and onstar for a little while longer. It does feel that you are missing something though.   Plus I don't know if you are going to pay 20.00? per month for Onstar after the free year is over.   I hope this answers your question... i know a little long reply, but hope it helps.
#1251 of 3125 Re: PERFORMANCE EXHAUST [73shark] by tuscotodd Jun 20, 2006 (4:04 am)
Replying to: 73shark (Jun 19, 2006 6:58 pm) 73shark - I talked to my dealer about both the GM touring exhaust and the GM performance exhaust. He recommended against the performance exhaust for use with the DOD as he said they had installed it on a customer's Yukon and the customer had raised issues with it having a notable resonance between 2000 and 2200 rpm that was applified when it went into V-4 mode. The dealer did say that they felt that the touring exhaust wouldn't have this issue as it has a set-up similar to the original deal where it has both a muffler and a resonator, but they didn't have any actual experience with the touring set-up at that time. When I tried to check into both the MagnaFlow and Gibson systems, I received the same basic info from each, being told that neither had a system for the '07's available and at that time each said that it would be 4-6 months until they would be available (I was looking in April). For the videos, I think I may have a solution to my camera giving me the flying finger of fate, as coworker just purchased a new camera/video recorder, so hopefully I can get some decent video from that.

Replying to: frank07 (Jun 19, 2006 5:02 pm) I do not know about Onstar functionality but the Audio from Onstar is normally fed into the head unit. So if the Aftermarket radio does not have option for accepting Onstar Audio input, you will not hear Onstar audio for sure. Another thing: some GM new vehicle does not use ignition wire. Instead they are using ignition message (on vehicle data bus, CAN bus in this case). So how does the Aftermarket radio knows when to turn on or off radio without draining off your battery   But there are many other things that you should be concerned about: the integration of turn signal click-clack sound, chime,... with the OEM radio. So for sure, you will lose turn signal sound, chime if you replace the head unit with an aftermarket radio. Some other features may be lost as well. Check with dealer's technician, they can tell you more.   jt
