I've got the Bose Stereo, XM and Rear Ent. System in my 05 Tahoe.

I installed the Peripheral PXDP model in my Hoe, at the advice of others (car audio install "experts" names to remain unmentioned), with confidence that all systems will continue to operate.

Post installation, everything seemed to work great. In fact, all controls really work well and I'm overall pleased with the operation. HOWEVER, I noticed when I first tried to use the DVD player on a road trip a couple weeks ago, the sound level far reduced from normal. Having figured it must be the interface I just installed, I went back and did a little more checking and sure enough... both Crutchfield and Peripheral comment that RES will not work with this model.

Needless to say, on a 12 hour road trip, this was a little upsetting. Especially since I just got this Hoe and was SO looking forward to having someone else drive for the first time, while I enjoyed a movie. Yeah.... didn't happen!

Anyway, doing a little more checking around, Peripheral apparently does offer a model that will supposedly retain the function of the RES. This is PXDPGMT.

Just wondering what experience everyone else might have with this "issue".

Oh... here's an interesting fact. Peripheral also comments that such devices as CD changer, XM, and Cassette will no longer operate with the use of the PXDP. Well, that apparently is WRONG! Don't have a cassette player, but BOTH the CD changer and XM still work just fine! Thus, why I'm a little gun shy now to just take the word others whom may not have personal experience with this particular vehicle.

Pardon my rant!!
