Thanks for getting it out so quickly too, pal 
All fitted and working! Sounds great!
Had a bit of an issue at one point - I plugged it all in, and tested it with my iPhone and iPod Classic, and it was great - sound was clear and loud, the playlist controls on the headunit were all working fine etc. So I then plugged the USB cable in, as well as a stereo jack cable, repositioned the Grom unit (which sits perfectly on top of the AC unit, behind the dash), and ran all the cables down behind to come out under the heated seats and TRC buttons. Then wanted to restest just before I did all the screws back up. So I tried the Aux stereo jack cable, and it didn't sound great; quiet/low volume, muffled, too bassy. So I tried the iPod connector again, and it sounded the same! Nothing like as good as it did before. I tried turning the stereo on and off, killing the ignition power etc, and it still sounded bad, and none of the playlist controls were working either. Then I noticed when you turn the stereo back on, a little voice said "USB" - earlier I had noticed it said "iPod". So a quick look on Grom's site for the user manual for trouble shooting says;
Quote:3.1 Different MODES of GROM-USB (for CD changer emulation only!)
Please read this part entirely before attempting to change the modes. You will need to perform all the steps
below quickly with 1-2 seconds interval.
Depending on your GROM firmware version, GROM-USB can work in two or three modes: USB, AUX (EXT) or iPod.
Step I. When you need to switch between the MODES, first you will need to enter into the “MODE CHANGING” state on your car stereo. There are two possible scenarios:

Rev. 3.1.2 6
1. The stereo is already in the CD changer mode (GROM USB is activated). Press FM/AM -> wait 1-2 second -> press CD (DISC).
2. The stereo is in any other mode (FM, SAT, etc...): press CD (DISC) -> wait 1-2 second -> press FM/AM -> wait 1 second -> press CD (DISC).
Step II. You will hear the voice announcing the currently playing mode (USB, AUX or iPod). To switch to the next
mode, press Next Track button quickly (   ,   or respective button on your car stereo) while the voice prompt is
announcing. The next mode will be announced right after. If you need to select another mode, simply press Next Track button again and so on until you select the desired mode.
Note: If you do not hear the voice announcement, it means that you did not press quickly enough and the adapter is not in the “MODE CHANGING” state anymore. Please perform STEP I again.
Back out to the car, tried that, and got it to say "iPod" - plugged in and presto! All working great again!
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Neil or the Grom he supplied me - I only mention it incase someone else has the same issue!
Nah, that packaging was awesome! Most would have just bundled it up in bubble wrap and sent it out - Neil put it in a hard plastic container, added half a roll of parcel tape, AND wrapped it in black bin bag plastic to keep it water tight! Love it! Thanks for getting it out so quickly too, pal
