Question PIE x3 concerns, XM radio

hey folks i searched last night and will continue to search today. im installing my iphone integration stuff tomorrow (navtool + pie x3) but i have some concerns i cant seem to clear up. i posted in elegant's thread but have not received a clear cut answer.

i know xm navtraffic will not pass through the PIE interface but what about xm radio itself? it would be a HUGE buzzkill if that is the case. id like to retain xm radio.

if anyone can chime in i would appreciate it.

p.s. - is there a DIY for instlaling the PIE x3? do i need to rip the dash apart again to get to the connections behind the radio? thanks

I can not speak about the PIE unit, so this may not help you. But if you figure out that it will not retain your XM, you can always get the iSimple. It will retain XM functionality but you have to remember to get the one that installs in the trunk at the XM unit itself. It requires a specific harness that is different from the non Nav-Traffic TLs.

The PIE unit does audio and video all-in-one? I have the iSimple and Dom's Nav Coverter unit and I have audio and video to my Navi through my Ipod Touch...

That's what I thought, so iSimple would be a viable option for him.
