It looks like your antenna part number is 5064253-AB. Based on a quick search, this should be working fine. It will be interesting to hear how Mitch's cable does.

Yes I have done that. The excess noise is still present.

I have the HD radio hooked up to the GURU. The hideous noise of the built in am/fm radio is NOT present with the HD radio (Directed Electronics) on. I am running Centrafuse and it is having issues propertly switching audio inputs and outputs but thats either my issue or a Centrafuse issue.
Unless my unit has a specific problem, I would not suggest getting this unit with having plans of using the built in radio unless you like terrible background noise.

This looks like a promising product, very high spec with everything you need in a car pc.
I have a few questions about the product:
1. Does it have a form of shutdown controller, so that when the engine is killed, it has enough time to hibernate/shutdown?
2. Does it connect like a regular double din car stereo?
3. Will you still need a separate amp / head unit for the speakers? (Does indicate it has some form of amp built in)
Thanks

1 - The B/U wire in the diagram appears to be labelled wrong. That is the ignition wire and the main power is hot. With the power managment they have provided the ignition wire puts the unit into and out of hibernation. Works nice.This looks like a promising product, very high spec with everything you need in a car pc.

2 - I bought vehicle specific wire harness for my vehicle and after getting the unit found out that even though many places make double din kits for my car, the radio bezel opening was slightly too small. Thats what a dremel tool is for though and I will have to do some fab work to make it look good. Which I will do in time.
3 - It has a built in radio with software and amplifier. I went with a HD radio though connected via line in and Mitch's cable. THE HD radio blows the built in radio away.

I am wondering if the power management supplied with the GURU can be modified to cause the computer to shutdown rather than hibernate? I have the GURU installed now (though lots of clean up work left to do) and I don't always get audio out of the HD radio when Centrafuse recovers from Hibernation.
One note, I am in Wisconsin and the temperature here as been dipping into the teens at night. It takes a while for the car to warm up enough for the GURU to boot.

Well I finally got my bezel fabrication done (by another MP3car.com member) and thought I would show some pics of the GURU installed in a 2007 Chrysler Sebring.

Looks nice. Thanks for sharing.
That is one impressive looking bezel.
