Just installed my Advent. Finally found the time. Love it. I still need to get the remote on for the sub working. Just using the door speakers. Took a couple of hours. I took my time. Factory SAT antenna works with XM tuner. No adapter needed. Sync works. Bluetooth works. Steering wheel controls work. USB works great. Will try the GPS when I go on a trip in a week. Bluetooth phone easy to setup. Still have the backup camera to install. The will be at a later date. Still learning it all but lovin' it. Sound not muddled like factory. All PNP. No splicing or programming.

Yep. Have to remove a clip. Without the clip plugs directly in XM receiver.

Quick question. Can you dial a number from the touch screen using sync? or do you have to use the advent system for dialing? I ordered the advent and dont want to install there mic.

I've dialed using the Advent but not Sync. Will have to check. I installed the mic just because I had it. I figured in case my Sync gets flaky I would have the Advent. The mic install took 10 minutes at most. Was very easy. The mic really is not that noticeable.

To you advent owners. Does the radio volume lower when backing up? I wonder if I will hear my reverse sensor.
