What I am doing: installing XM receiver GEX-P10XMT What the problem is: Z1 reads no connection/no signal and gives no radio ID. Just the XM is installed, as I'm just trying to get that to work before hooking up the ipod unit. I hooked up the ipod unit through the XM just to see if it would get recognized, which it did minus sound. Yes, the ipbus goes from the out of the XM to the only in of the Z1. The data cable is connected properly. They have both been reset multiple times. Swapping out the ipod ipbus cable with the XM ipbus cable to see if it was a cable issue was the fi

The ipbus cant be plugged in either way. And just to make sure I just tried and no change. There is an out from the xm to the z1, read the connections I just listed in my last post. The lack of sound isnt the main issue right now, the not connected/no signal/no radio ID from the XM tuner is.

Isnt it supposed to be XM (Blue) to Z1 (Blue) XM (Black) to Z1 (Black) and iPod (Black) to XM (Black)? The colors match to the plugs. yes the colors match the plugs, but the IP bus cables have 1 black and 1 blue end. blue is input, black is ouput. There's only a blue ipbus input on the back of the Z1, that goes to a black plug on the XM unit. The blue input on the XM unit then goes to the black output on the Ipod unit. The data cable isnt directional, both black plugs.

So I installed my Z1 yesterday, and it works wonderfully. Went to install my GEX-P10XMT plus Ipod interface today and am having some weird issues. All connections are correct, data cable XM to Z1, IP bus XM (black) to Z1 (blue) and XM (blue) to ipod (black), constant power is good (checked with multimeter), ground is good, didnt connect ACC power lead. The Z1 displays no connection/no signal/no radio ID for the XM unit. When my ipod is attached everything shows up on the Z1 and I can select and play a playlist BUT no sound! Tried resetting the XM unit multiple times. The XM button

Hello everyone, just a quick "tell me if I'm wrong" kind of thing before I start my install... 2006 Subaru WRX limited, manual transmission VSS - Green/Yellow, ECM plug 136, pin 13 Reverse - I think Brown/Yellow but thats all I have, location up front so I dont have to go all the way back? Also, any idea where I could pick up constant power/acc power close to under the passenger seat for my xm box? THANKS! And merry xmas!
