kanazteck261 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 http://stores.ebay.com/Grom-Audio-Digital-Interfaces/Bluetooth-Add-On-/_i.html?_fsub=2048834013&_sid=232607093&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 Does look like it requires this for bluetooth. I think you would have to use phone to actually answer the call as well, doubt it reprograms the steering wheel controls.

angeltalin Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 doesn't seem that bad still, especially for those that like our oem headunit look:wub: StageIII Cryotune-Kinugawa STS TD06H-20GTX 9 blade turbine, ID1000, DW65c, 73mm MegaMAF , GS EWG up-pipe, Downpipe and EBCS, FMS FMIC, TGV Delete, Brembo swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

system60 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 SUBARU compatibility. The GROM adapter for Subaru can have SAT (satellite) or CDC (CD changer) emulation. SAT emulation is applicable to the satellite compatible vehicles within USA only. For vehicles outside of USA please use CDC emulation. The following car stereos are tested and supported : GX-806EF2, GX-201JE, GX-201LE, GX-201LH, GX-203JE, GX-204LE, P-206 UNB. If you don't see you stereo listed - please contact us. We also offer 30-days money back quaratee if the adapter is not compatible. Double-DIN Non-Navigation radios that are equipped with an in dash six-disc CD Changer and Single-DIN radios are not compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbrudder Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I don't think this is going to work with 05,06 as the radio must have a SAT button on the radio. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCHM1AN Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 To my knowledge, there's just a tab underneath the button where the "SAT" is supposed to be. If you take the dash off, you should be able to break the tab and then wire something in under that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Been talking to Grom, wont work on anything that doesnt have the proper connector http://gromaudio.com/docs/compatibility_chart.pdf The AM CD FM button needs to have another selection like aux or sat for the grom to work. Thats how the tech was explaining it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanazteck261 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I ordered it after looking at a video on groms website showing the bluetooth functionality. I will make a video of its functionality once I receive and install. As far as using sat function to activate there is a cd option that you can choose that will work if you do not have sat button. These will be from android prospective mainly, but I will test with my girlfriend's iphone as well. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12sechatch Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 any updates on how this works? I'm picking up a 07+ stereo and was looking at doing this, but have 2 main questions: 1. Does the grom unit plug into the sat/ipod connector in the back of the stereo? 2. Assuming #1 is 'yes', that means I can hit 'sat' when I want bluetooth, and 'aux' when I want the hardwired oem aux-input? Or does one take away the functionality of the other?

kanazteck261 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Actually just installed yesterday along with reverse camera. Works pretty well via bluetooth. I have a glitch I have to sort out with the track number on the display flickering. Will post up complete review once I figure out issue. Have issue connecting via usb to my phone and playing music via the app, but via bluetooth works flawlessly. You can change tracks with stereo and steering wheel controls via pandora and any other player you are using on your phone. Also when a call comes in you can answer/hangup via scan up/down on steering wheel controls. Another cool feature I have noticed. When you turn car off phone will pause music when you get back in and phone autosyncs it plays right where it left off automatically.

12sechatch Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 So the grom unit plugs directly into the sat port? Does it plug in anywhere else? Also, if you're using a reverse cam, what stereo do you have? Do you you have the stock nav with the stock stereo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanazteck261 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Sorry missed your questions when responded was half asleep. I have stock nav unit. You can order either cd or sat input. I ordered sat, when u hit sat button it goes right to phone input. It is supposed to switch to sat when phone call comes in also (haven't tested yet). Its simple plug and play too, just unhook sat cable plug to grom harness then plug grom harness to sat input on back of stereo.

12sechatch Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Great thanks. Looks like I'll be ordering this today then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Looks like there is two options for bluetooth connectivity through Grom: GROM-USB2P <-- seems to be the most popular and most expensive option at $140 http://www.gromaudio.com/store/usb_adapters/subaru_usb_ipod_adapter_direct_digital_interface.html GROM-AUX <-- significantly cheaper at $80 http://www.gromaudio.com/store/aux_adapters/subaru_05-09_aux-in_mp3_bluetooth_ipod_iphone_adapter.html From what I can tell, the only real difference is the cheaper one does not have a USB in, which means you can't plug your phone and/or a memory stick in. However, you can still hook up their Bluetooth and iPod controls via their proprietary cables. Am I reading that right? If the only thing I'm losing is hard-wiring capability for my phone, I'm going the cheaper route; I'll be using Bluetooth every time anyway. Yes, I understand this is a "android interface" thread, but it has turned into more of a "Grom Audio" thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just ordered the more expensive one. I figured that in a year from now, I'd kick myself if I couldn't use a USB stick for music or something....meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanazteck261 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Haha fair enough. If you don't like it you can always return it. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enraged Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 For anyone interested, I just got an iSimple TranzIt BLU, it was on amazon for $58, a lot less than the list price of ~$115. Waiting on antenna adapters, so I can't speak as to how well it works though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needforsleep Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I had a few questions before I order.. How is the audio quality of the Grom when streaming audio? How clear is it on both ends when you are making calls? And where did you guys mount the microphone? I've been reading on other forums and people seem split on their opinions of the unit so I wanted the opinions of you guys first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I haven't tried using the mic (or calling at all for that matter) yet. But streaming music seems great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroGuidO Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 ... As far as using sat function to activate there is a cd option that you can choose that will work if you do not have sat button. ... Could you give more detail on that point. Witch HeadUnit do you use ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
