Getting ready to install the iPod2Car using the PXHGM4 cable in my 2001 without CD changer. I see lots of posts saying that Dip Switches 3 & 8 should be set to "ON" - where are you getting that information from? I could not find any Dip Switch recommendations on their web site?

Thanks. My manual just told me to visit their URL for Dip Switch settings, but I saw nothing there? I ordered the PXDP from the Peripheral Electronics Site, came in an "iSimple" box (GM ISGM73) - guess that is the same thing as the iPod2Car?

Two "dumb" questions...
Does the volume on the radio control the iPod or do they work in tandem to affect volume?
I guess if you had a video-capable iPod the sound would still come through the Bose speakers?

Video ipod will work just fine through the factory Bose speakers.

I feel like throwing the Ipod2Car out the window. I've tried about 19 combinations of the PXHGM1, PXHGM2, PXHGM4 and GMH20T cables I can possibly think of. Working with a '99 hardtop that from what I can tell had the trunk cable added later (wires spliced behind radio, exactly as Peripheral requires for non-cable-equipped cars in their Corvette appendix notes). Every last combination renders the ERR message, and different cables create the message after different time lengths of being connected. Wishing this was a much simpler affair... odd that for some guys it works great first time, others have the ERR message and can't get things to work. Argh!

No modification or disassembly of the dash is required. It just snaps into place. I used it for 2+ years and it never moved.
If you want any of the ProClip stuff, send me a PM. I can get you a discount off the web site prices.

I don't have my car anymore so can't post a picture of it, but here's the stock picture from the ProClip web site. This is just the vehicle mount, you then purchase whatever device mount(s) you need and attach them to the vehicle mount. You can use their web site (http://www.proclipusa.com) to figure out what device mount(s) you need based on the device(s) you want it to hold.
