Nice review, the one little annoyance I have with the unit is there is not enough text on the XM screen. Most song names are cut off. My wife's Avalon is the same way and it's annoying to only see a partial song name. Can't wait for the iGo Primo navigation upgrade, the current navigation is not that great.

If it makes you feel any better, every aftermarket Nav unit I've owned has done the exact same thing, it never shows all the text. The one thing I do like about my Pioneer unit in my HHR is that it shows the station artwork. Its a pretty neat feature.

The channel artwork would be awesome. It would give the screen some color. I bet that would be something that could be added to the OGM-1 with an update. Do you guys have the same issue with the volume when watching a DVD? Like I said in the review, not a big deal at all, just want to make sure it is not something I did.

I will post a picture of the channel artwork tomorrow.

 

As for the DVD playback volume, that is normal in my experience. On my Advent and Pioneer I have to turn the volume up quite a bit louder during DVD playback!

Awesome review! It's nice to see you picked up on some of the subtle details that really make the difference between some of the other "factory look" decks and one that the factory poured some serious time and effort into. As I think I've told everyone that we've turned on to this deck - this unit does just as many things right as any top of the line aftermarket navi you can buy, and when you consider the factory integration side of it as well, it kicks ass on anything out here...

 

Can I suggest you consider moving your review to it's own topic though? You did a great job on it, but it might get buried in here and not be seen very much (because of the topic title) as we collectively add impressions to it. :thumbs:

So I'm curious how we go about getting the Nav update? I've read that IGo Primo was replacing the existing Nav software but I haven't seen any info on how we are to get it..........

 

Thanks,

 

John

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
