very cool. Is there any way to include a smartenna with this setup?
Hi
I did not think about the Smartenna. I have one and would really like to have the antenna go down when I use the Ipod.

I just installed my GROM unit behind the driver's seat. Thanks for all of the pictures/instructions! I'm not sure if things changed in the '95's but I wasn't able to fit the GROM box on top of the ECU. The GROM box wouldn't clear when I tried to install the top back panel. I was able to fit toe box into a space to the left of the ECU. Also, my 8-pin CD changer connector was the top most cable and not the second one as shown in the pics.
I ran the ipod cable under the center speaker panel as well as the center console panel. I had the wire come out where the e-brake is and I can keep my iPhone in the ashtray or the tray right in front of the coin tray.
Also, the GROM unit doesn't work with the Smartenna. For some reason the antenna would keep going up and down when connected with the GROM box. I just unplugged the antenna since I don't listen to the radio anyway.
Great idea. Thanks for the info. May I ask how you disconnected the antenna? Was it though the trunk area?

In order for the GROM unit to work with the Smartenna, the Grom would need to be connected the same as the CD deck in the trunk. By connecting the GROM unit behind the driver's seat, you have phisically disconnected the Smartenna from the circuit.
Has anyone tried the GROM unit connected in the trunk in order for the Smartenna to sense the GROM?
That makes perfect sense. I guess the challenge mounting the unit in the trunk is getting a longer cable made to route back inside the car.
Sounds cool. Was it pretty easy and straightforward to find a hole and route the extension through the firewall?Okay I just installed the Grom unit and it works perfectly with my smart antenna. I purchased 10ft minidin8 male to minidin8 female extension. Now your Grom unit can stay in your trunk and attach to the CD outlet, then I routed the 10ft extension through the engine compartment to the back of the seats and then the ipod connector attaches to the extension and comes out to the middle console. I'll try to take pictures later. now I can hook up my Ipod in the middle console unlike the picture above with the Ipod in the trunk. I have 2 more 10ft extension if anyone wants to buy it. first come first serve. $8+shipping. pm me if your interested.
Hi
I will probably unhook the antenna as I will probably only use the Ipod. But if I feel the strong urge to listen to the radio I could hook up the cable for it again. I may build some sort of quick switch solution in the trunk. Just a switch which is accessible is not hard to make.

Martin,
Some of us put a switch under the dash that turns the antenna off (won't raise). Some stations come in with the antenna down, if not just flip the switch and it raises.

So do you lose the use of the CD player with these options? Any way to have both?
