Hello! Was recommended that this is where the experts live, so I figured I would post up.

 

I looking to replace the factory Bose Head Unit in my 07 Chevy Trailblazer SS with the AVH-P4000DVD. In order to preserve steering wheel controls, OnStar, door chimes, XM as well as iPod integration, I believe I need the following...

 

Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD DVD Receiver

Metra VT-GMOS-04 GM Class II Data bus Interface

PAC SWI-PS - Pioneer and Sony Steering Wheel Radio Control Interface

XM Direct Satellite Radio Pkg for Pioneer

Pioneer CD-i200 iPod Control Interface

 

Is there anything that I appear to be missing?

The Pioneer XM adaptor is model #GEX-P920XM. Don't bother with that XM direct shit from Terk, it never works right.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. Didn't even know Pioneer made their own XM adapter.

 

What are the known issues with the Terk adapters?

The Terks have had issues with every A/V or nav piece Pioneer has ever made. Sometimes they don't work at all, sometimes you can't name your presets, etc. Terk just does an overall shitty job on it. Plus it doesn't have a P-bus in/out so you can't add other accessories later. Besides, the Pioneer is about the same price anyway

Great points. I appreciate the feedback. I will definitely be going the Pioneer route instead of Terk. Thanks.

Zirotti,

 

Did you get your XM yet? I only ask as I bought my D3 off the TBSSOwners forum and also got the XM with Traffic, and I'm looking to unload the module.

 

The rest went in easy.

 

Thanks.
