Is it a FACT that the module doesnt add bluetooth phone integration? I don't think we'll know for sure until someone completes the install of this PDIM module.

The bluetooth phone stuff is integrated into the OnStar module. The only profile that is implemented in the PDIM is A2DP. There is no microphone hooked up to the PDIM module.

baclarsen · 10-01-2009, 04:55 PM

Where is the mic and where is it hooked into?

baclarsen · 10-01-2009, 04:56 PM

I need a schematic.......

Iwantone2 · 10-02-2009, 03:53 PM

Got the part, now I just need to find someone to install it...

nwotank · 10-02-2009, 04:18 PM

Is it easier to get a dealer to install this thing?

Iwantone2 · 10-02-2009, 05:24 PM

It most likely will be, if you refer to post 9, the unit needs to be programmed once the PDIM is installed.

Hushhush · 10-02-2009, 06:24 PM

If only Daewoo had tested the damned thing better or gave more to whoever makes the head unit so they could test them.

ProstZ28 · 10-02-2009, 06:49 PM

Daewoo is owned by GM. Pretty sure the software/integration was done by GM engineers in Detroit. I would hope that the head unit doesn't have to be updated and that's just precautionary. Has anyone tried?

Hushhush · 10-03-2009, 11:24 AM

S&T Daewoo is not owned by GM, GM only has a majority stake in GM Daewoo.

Unfortunately updating the head unit will not fix the problems with the connections and pairing people are having. The software/hardware of the PDIM is at issue for those types of issues.

THUMPER20X · 10-04-2009, 05:43 PM

the labelling differences are simply because one is a separately purchased part and the other is included in a carbuild.

ArkySS · 10-04-2009, 06:35 PM

I am utterly confused at this point. I ordered a 2SS/RS A6. It says the car comes with the USB. I plan on using a USB hard drive and leave it in the console. Will the BA system not recognize those? Is the PDIM only if you use an iPod or your cell? Someone educate me here!

baclarsen · 10-04-2009, 07:35 PM

Yes it does recognize USB but with issues... limited to only 2500 songs, indexes every time you start the car (can't change tracks, etc while it's indexing), doesn't remember settings such as random, doesn't remember previous playlist (e.g. if you were listening to an album). So yea, it works but it's kinda annoying. All of this is true with any device but an iPod as the car lets the iPod handle everything and just gets the analog audio from the iPod (everything is controlled from the head unit/steering wheel though).
