I just hope people on this forum purchase these from this company as they bend over backwards to help out their customers.

I've got a non-nav SLS non-bose system with a CD changer, what can they offer me?

The company sent me an email on Friday and said they were going to make 6 of these harnesses for a limited production run. I asked them about NON navigational harnesses, but I have not reeived an email back from them yet. I think their production will depend on how many people want this item. I told them there is nothing on the market that works (I.E. Peripheral and USA SPEC) even though the companies list their adapters as compatible. As soon as I receive their cable and I ENSURE that it works properly, I will post the company contact information, no need to pursue an avenue that does not pan out.

Hopefully, I will have the cable this week, today being the 8th of April. I will post my findings ASAP when I get the harness.

The last email from them said they were putting the cable into production on March 27th. Just sent them another email today asking what the status is of the item, today being April 12th. Will post again when I find out more.

Still anxiously waiting.

Yes, me too. I sent them an email on Friday, they said they were putting things into production on March 23rd, so I don't know what their production process is for this item. I think I will call them today and see if I can find anything out.

Ok, Just talked to a Ernesto at the company, He is sending me the cable TODAY for me to test out in my car. They are attempting to convince the boss to put it into full production, but the boss is weary of how many people will want this cable. I told him there should be at least 10-15 people on this forum that would want the cable.

I assume I will get the cable within the next week, when I do, I will let you guys know if it works properly or not. If it does, I will post the name of the company and contact information so all of you can get the orders going!

Just let em know I sent you to them so that he knows I was not pulling his leg when I said a whole bunch of people were willing to purchase.

This unit will plug into the 10 pin connector in the center console and then goes into a 3 way RCA input device. So, you will be able to get FULL digital sound from 3 seperate devices, ie xm, ipod, etc. It has a three way device button that lets you switch from one device to another by pushing the button. Point is, you can put THREE different audio inputs directly into the digital amplifier in your stereo! This makes a HUGE difference in XM and IPOD quality!

Well, did it work?

Well, I received this email from the company yesterday:

HI
the cable was send by mail ,it will plug in to the same x3 box that you have

to be honest at this point, we don't know if we are going to make the cable it will only fit some cadillacs and corvettes it will also fit any gm vehicle with a cd changer but we also have the gm 9 that plugs behind the radio i will let you know what is going to happen to the idea for now we made 2
you will receive 1 soon this cable is been test on 13 gm radios and it works,we didn't test this on a nav radio
please let me know once it is install in your vehicle

thank you

Soooo, I will test this thing out and see if it works properly. IF IT DOES, YOU guys will need to contact this company in numbers, in order to get this thing into full production. When it comes in, I will test it that day and post results...

Well, did it work?

I am going to plug the unit in tonight, Tuesday and see what happens. I was going to do it over the weekend, BUT, when I was changing my oil on my car, the pressure relief vavle assembly FELL OUT of the oil filter adapter, when I changed my oil filter! Had to have the car towed to the dealership and they had the car the whole weekend until they replaced the part yesterday.

I was told by the company that this kit has worked on 13 different Seville radios, THE NON NAVIGATION ONES, and they were pretty sure it would work on the navigation unit as well. So the good news for anyone with a 98 - 04 NON navigation unit is that this kit works according to them.

I will try it out tonight and post tommorrow.

I did not get a chance to put the cable in yesterday. I am leaving for Vegas for 10 days tonight and had some last minute things that took priority. I WILL put this in on the 20th of May and post my results then. Sorry about delay!
