Thread: XpressRC in a 2008 Chevy HHR

> Will ask about it. They are supposed to detail it and are wanting me to leave it with them for several hours anyway. Part of the manufacturer warranty did not transfer over if it falls under the dealer warranty its $100 deductable. Partly why I was wanting to just upgrade it Was also thinking about just putting a stereo with HD radio. Even with the zune hooked up to AUX that sounds pretty good. > > Display posts from previous: All...

Driving through town I am constantly losing the signal. Any ideas? Does the antennae have to be mounted on metal?? Thanks for any help or ideas. The antenna does not have to be mounted on metal, but ideally it should be outside of the car....

> No, there's no replacement antenna. What I bet you have here is a faulty component. Have you have used XM before in this same area?

The best option for you is a PdAuX3W. It allows the Factory 12-disc CD Shuttle (which I believe is made by Pioneer) connected in the Corvette C5. BTW, this adapter also provides an auto switched USB port for charging devices such as GPS. Do a search for PdAuX3W on Google and it will point you to the manufacturer's site where you can order it online. You may even find one on eBay for a good price.

Doesn't the OP know it should be " an happy camper"? LOL!

I have the PIE interface for an aux input in my Impala and it has worked great for several years. I have the TERK interface for the XM and everything works just fine... They're basically a circuit that emulates a CD Changer or the actual factory XM receiver and makes your HU think that it's there for real. It interfaces between factory and non-factory equipment.
