Ipod Control Solution For OEM Stereo 1st-Gen IS300 / 200 Finally Found - Plug'n Play

[lilboi]

I sent out a couple of emails and i have yet to hear from him. Have you guys heard from him recently?

[yamadjs08]

I just spoke with him, asking if they had resolved the issue. And he informed me that my chip (second one) was already sent and I should get it shortly. I'm assuming anyone who e-mailed him initially with issues will be getting the latest chip automatically.

[lilboi]

Have you guys been emailing him or sending a message through the website?

Well Im happy to say that so far I have not experienced any issues with my new chip. I have been driving around with my lights on AUTO since noon today. I even tried the ON/OFF sequence for about 2mins to see if anything would happen but my Ipod picked up right from where it left off each and every time. I will post more updates.

Sounds good..so Far!

That's great! I've been searching for a while for something that's compatible with my iphone and this seems an easy install and good price too!

Thanks sonnet!

Love it because you can always hear when you're receiving a call/message since the music fades.

Thanks Sonnet for this info and also the link to indash + rep

this might seem like a silly question but what is a Car PC?

with that issue you should contact the GromAudio support directly. Over here in Europe some guys had some kind of problems. Some were able to fix their problems with the help of the support. Some others got a new box from Grom for free when the support was not able to fix their problems or the bug has been a known one.

Lately I heard from one guy that Grom will release a new version of the interface in februar 2008 which will solve all these issues like:

- not working on some IS Radios
- not working all the time
- not sending a stop signal to the iPod when switching of the ignition
- and so on

Under the following link you find a special forum where you can adress grom issues directly, due to the reason that the manufacturer om the GromBox is a member of the board

http://indashpc.org/vbullettin/

On this page choose the section

Car integration

and place the question.

It seems that the side admin jbors has a direct connection to gromAudio. Due to this you can find dialogues like:

Question:

I ordered the grom audion (hon1a) for my 07 ridgeline and hooked it up...wether I use an mp3 player or a portable dvd player the volume is way too low. I have to turn up the volume to max on both devices and the truck stereo to just hear it. When I switch input back to fm or cd, it is deafening, any advice on the volume?

Answer from jbors:

I think there is an issue with the audio chip. We will send you replacement.

Indash PC is one of the distributors from GromAudio, so it could be valuable to place a question there.

I hope it helps

Cheers from Germany

does this company have a direct line?

[lilboi]

I don't think so, They're located in San Mateo (at least the distribution).

had the day off on friday so i finally got around to installing my 3rd chip. It still hit or miss. but whatever. im over it. i just turn off/ restart the car if i want to use the adapter. anyone have better luck with the latest chip? know if they're working on a new/ 4th chip?

[yamadjs08]

I haven't received my 3rd chip yet, but my GROM unit has recently taken a crap. When using it, my left speakers don't work... I don't know what happened, but just started doing this one day and now it always does it when using the GROM unit, normally playing CD's and the radio all speakers work fine...

I'm hoping the 3rd chip fixes this, I'm a little disappointed... I was fine with the headlight trick and it worked fine, but now I can't even use it...

[Jerseyford2]

I am still waiting for the chip also and have not even heard from them in like three weeks
