Thumbs up I installed the grom-aux1 kit today.

Hi, i installed the grom kit that adds a aux port to the factory radio. The install was super easy and the audio quality is great! I didnt realize they had a Bluetooth kit before I bought the aux one, but oh well... this will be good enough. Im glad a company still provides aftermarket accessories for our cars entertainment systems. I wish I had the navigation unit so i could add android auto to it, i just have the normal radio though. Overall in happy with the system, it does suck a little that I can't use the cd changer now but ill get over it. Thanks grom!

I don't know how the Grom system connects to the radio, but if you have the 6+6 connector or the 5+7 connector then you can fit a splitter cable and select either CD or CD2 by hitting the CD button on the radio twice.
If it's the Pioneer system I am not sure how that is configured, but with the ML system this works well.

I use the BlueMusic system with a 6+6 splitter and can choose between CD or Bluetooth (CD2) at will.

Mine is a 2004 with the Nav screen and Mark Levinson.
It uses the 6+6 splitter cable and BlueMusic modules.

I'm cheap so I'm looking for an old tape aux cable adapter to hook up my ipod. I'll get one from ebay or from the gift house at the dump.
