Hey Todd, what wires did you tap into to get it to recognize an CD-changer? Did you leave the CD changer plugged in? I bought the P.I.E GM10-AUX and they say it won't work on an '01 STS but obviously there is a way. I tried to mess around with it but ended up blowing the radio fuse.
where is the factory xm tuner located. im trying to install ipod intagation made by peripheral.it says in manual that on 2003 - 2005 seville and other caddys you have to disable factory a/v devices or it wont work.i have a 2003 sts no nav .its a pxdp.it connects to the factory cd changer plug.any help please
I've got an 02 and I see the button on my radio for satalite. Can I use the SIRIUS SIR-GM1? Crutchfield says it is for 2003 and newer only but I am hoping they are wrong.
I'm using the SIR-GM1 in my 2001 Seville with the 2002 factory Navigation head unit and it works fine. The XM1/2 button automatically showed up once everything was connected.
Hi, I posted in the seville area but I guesss this is a better place. I just bought a 2002 STS and it has non-navigation HU with cd, cassette, and changer. The band button gives me FM1, FM2, AM, and weather options. I would like to ad XM but only if I can do it "stock". I don't want to add any extra displays. Is this reasonably simple? Also I want to add a bluetooth phone adaptor. What sucess has anyone had with it.

I swapped my non-nav head unit back in to test out the SIR-GM1 Sirius factory compatible receiver I had just installed. Before the SIR-GM1 was installed, I would cycle through all bands and get the same results you got (AM/FM/WX). I was never able to get the "no satellite radio" message CadillacSTS2003 and others spoke about to show up. But, once I installed the SIR-GM1 the additional SAT band automatically showed up when cycling through the available bands. The same thing happened with my nav head unit...no SAT band or mention of it until the unit was installed.
As for adding factory XM, the only option at this point was previously mentioned (XM Direct unit). The cheapest I could find that box was like $150 shipped on Ebay. Another option is to buy a factory new XM receiver from GM and install that, but from what I understand those can be hard to obtain. The used factory XM receivers are coded to the car and once that is done, they CANNOT be moved to any other car. I bought a used one on Ebay for $1 to throughly test this theory out...and I'm going to see if there is some way to "clear" the used receiver of this coding. We will see...
Personally, I think the security measures GM has taken with these XM receivers are completely out of line. I would imagine that from a theft standpoint, the factory head units are easier to remove, easier to re-program and easier to sell than the factory XM receiver. On top of it all, you still need to pay a subscription fee to XM if you did happen to get a "hot" one. And as soon as you gave XM the radio code, they would know it's stolen. Maybe there are other reasons to make these factory XM receivers "one time use" only, but I can't seem to think of one.
there should be a button on the lower right i forget what it says right now to be honest and when you push it it will say no satellite radio. you can buy a tuner online that will be plug and play thought unlike what this guy did, it says for deville but will work for a seville also
Yeamish, you sent me a PM but I cannot reply until I have a bunch of posts, so I will reply here and hopefully you will see it.

Does the station selection button on your steering wheel work with the SIR-GM1? My programming buttons do but the wheel does not. I only used Pin 9 (data) in the car to interface with the unit but I'm not sure if I need to be using 10 as well to make it work.

The station selection button on my wheel (SEL up / down) half works right. When I push it up, it goes through the presets. When I push it down, it does nothing.
I'm pissed, the select button doesn't do a damn this with the SIR-GM1. I guess I will try and change the pins around a bit, I may be using the wrong data pins.
From what I could tell, the SIR-GM1 has a data pin in, and a data pin out. If you can control the SIR-GM1 from your radio, you've got the data pin(s) right. All that unit needs is 12V, GND, DATA, AUDIO LEFT, AUDIO RIGHT, and AUDIO GND.
Besides, it's not like you are missing much. The SEL button only scrolls through the presets on my car...just like it does with the AM and FM bands. All I really lost was the up/down method of going through presets (I can only go up through the presets now).
Do you have the data in and the data out both connected? I only have one data pin connected, the other didn't do anything. Maybe the other did something but I just need to change where they are going.
No, I am only using one. They are both connected internally, so there is no need to connect both of them. I figure that their intended use is for when you are using the pass-through cable (that little 12-pin Y-harness). That way, they don't have to splice two wires together.
Per the Specs of the SIR-GM1 it only supports the Up function on the steering whhel.
Also I had the TERK XM Direct unit and switched it out to the SIR GM1. Funny thing is both boxes are made from a different manufactor but the wiring and plug are the same.
Just as an FYI the SIR-GM1 functions and sounds better than the Terk XM unit.
eclipse, thanks to going to all that trouble, but it sure is nice to know. I'm bidding on a sirus gm-1 unit on ebay. If I get out bid, I'll just bid on the next one. Eventually I'll get one for what I want to pay. Sounds like the sirus is prefered by most people for programing also.
Just won the sirus unit on ebay and should have in a few days. I gues I'm a little confused because I have been reading so many different ideas about this. Just to confirm before I get into the install, the unit plugs in where the CD changer plugs in. I am assuming there are enough empty pin locations in the connector to have the sirus and the changer both pluged in. That's where all the directions have me confused. Does anyone have a diagram or directions for where all the wires go from both the sirus and the cd changer.
Actually, you will be "tapping into" the wiring that goes to the changer. I suggest solidering and taping the connections. What year and model car Seville do you have? If it's 2002 and up all of the wires you need are in that harness.
its a 2002 sts. I guess that is where I'm confused. The cd player and the siruse unit conect to the same wires in the car harness and it still recognises which one you want to play?
Did you ever solve the switched power issue you were having?? I read you asking about it in your PDF file.
If not, here's the answer: Fuse #2 in the Underhood fusebox, is marked Accessory.(at least on my 2000 SLS) your mileage may vary, but there should be one there.. It behaves the exact way the radio does. I.e. turns on off with the key etc, plus stays on until you open a door to exit etc.
If you use a fuse tap, and run a wire into the car, you now have a source for accessory switched power, so whenever the radio is on, your xm will be on as well.
FYI, I bought a T harness from Radiosandmore.com that plugs right in to the changer harness and has the SIR-GM1 plug on it. It should work with or without a changer.
I ordered that $10 GM100HARNESS from Radios and more and they told me that wouldnt work on the Caddy and cancelled the order.
Can you tell me exactly what harness you used? Was it the t-harness in the SIR-GM1 box, or was it the $10 one from Radios and more, or was it something else?
You said you got the harness, plugged one end into the changer harness and the other into the SIR-GM1.
The SIR-GM1 says that the Deville must have been installed with factory XM. Why is that? Doesnt the supplied T-Harness work with the radio?
