I'll keep you guys updated. I'll try without installing the faceplate with the Sirius button and see if it works first.
TJ,
I think Grom needs to start paying you commission for the business you're bringing them (and tech support). Lol

Yea, that is doubtful... But... I think cycling thru the "music note" button on the wheel will work... Another reply from Grom.....
Dear Rory,
Yes I think it will work with your stereo by pressing the AUX button.
I imagine it's going to work, but figuring out the button to push will be the thing to figure out... I Ordered mine but prob will not see till after Christmas... Keep us informed on how it goes...

Just got around to installing! The music note doesn't get to SAT. You will need to get the faceplate with Sirius so you can cycle through. Other than that, easy install and it works great!

Awesome! Glad that worked. As soon as I finish paying for Christmas I'll be doing this same project. I won't need bluetooth but if I can add a usb slot to my stock non-sync stereo, that should be good enough for me.

if so, that is GREAT news! Do your steering wheel controls work as they previously did? (for radio and volume, not grom)

Yep, that's all it took and all of the buttons still work perfectly!

Anybody who is experiencing bad call quality...install firmware version 26. Since I've had the grom unit, people have complained about not being able to hear me (distorted and staticky). After upgrading, I can talk with the window down on local roads and people seem to hear me just fine.

AWESOME! I wasnt having bad call quality, unless i was actually moving... but if i was sitting in my car at a light or in my driveway or whatever it came in clear and no one had trouble hearing me, but as soon as i was driving people said it had too much wind noise or something. so with that said, ive been planning to take some time to change my mic setup and ordered a new domelight that has a mic built into it.
This one here actually, and I will retro fit my mic into that and replace the ford mic with my mic.

that dome light came from ebay, i was reading that ford had so much trouble with the mic in the mirror that they made that revision to the domelight and used a mic similar to the headliner f150 mic.
i might not even need it now with this new firmware but i think ill still plan to set it up.

I would still follow through with that dome light housing...it looks nice and clean. I'm probably gonna grab one off eBay when I get home too lol.

so my old setup that i think looked great may have worked just fine with the firmware update but i have no idea. I went ahead and updated the firmware, put the mic in the new housing which was VERY easy to do.
went for a drive around the neighborhood and called my google voice mail and left a long 3 minute rambling conversation with myself and it all sounded pretty good, not as close as id like for it to sound, it basically sounds like im on speaker which is okay but atleast its pretty clear.
i'll try again when i drive on the highway tonight and call someone.

update to the mic relocation in map light.
didnt work so well, at low speeds it was great, at 40+ its awful, sound very far away.
I need to figure out how to get the ford sync mic to work, 3 wires on it.... i want to figure out if its powered or what because that would be awesome.

It's been awhile - are you still happy with this system?
I put off getting rid of the parrot BT however with the latest iPhone OS upgrade it no longer connects to it.
The Grom still the way to go?
Thx

I was happy with it while i used it, however i decided to completely change everything to an Alpine ILX-007 with Apple Carplay. While I love my new setup, i want to sell and upgrade to the alpine x009u which is a 9inch indash, which also means I have to build a new bezel again...
