Klaus, I spoke with my dealer this afternoon and he can get me one for $1650.00 including tax and shipping. However he told me the unit is not returnable because GM told him it would not work. I told him to give me a few days, I was going to wait to see how your's worked when you got your Disc. However for the most part if I just use for the Radio & Cd player I should be fine. Have yoo had any problems with it so far?

So far no problems at all. But I understand the hesitation to buy with no way to return it. It was a big gamble for me, but now I'm glad I risked it!

Did you do the swap out yourself? How long did it take? I appreciate all the time and info you have given to this subject.

I did it in 2 leisurely days. Day 1 I used to disassemble the dash. Day 2 I went to Sears and bought metal sheers so I could modify the GPS antenna mount to bolt it to the dash of the Hummer. I then reassembled the H2, while taking pictures.
If you are in good with your dealer, see if they can find out if the GPS antenna made for the 2004 H2 can be purchased. I have not been able to get any info about it, so I bought the GPS antenna for what I think is the Escalade and modified the antenna mount.

Hope it all works out. I am happy with mine and I am sure you will like it. Just now if we can use it above 8mph.

I have a rough copy of instructions/pictures in an Adobe PDF format. I have sent it to Jason to post.
If you want it, send me your email address, and I'll send it to you. 4MB. Klaus Skull & Bones Member since 2003 |
As much as I want it, I can't justify all that dough.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Jason has added a link to the Navigation Installation Document on the "FAQ" page. Check out question 6 in the "For H2 Owners" section. http://www.elcova.com/h2/faqs.html Thanks Jason! Klaus Skull & Bones Member since 2003 |
Hey Klaus,
Thanks for all of the great information. As I had earlier suggested, it is possible. In your document - is that rust on the metal support structure behind your dash? Does GM know about this problem? I have taken apart plenty of dashboards in my time to install radios and I've never seen that much rust on the metal underneath in a car that is only 1-2 years old. Someone should submit your picture to GM. That much rust is no good for the long term. Thanks, |
Yep, it's rust. I think it is a required factory option for H2s.

Great write up Klaus. Thanks.
I think I may have to get this nav unit for my truck too. ![]() Have you noticed what the so called Bose amp incompatibility is? Does the sound system sound different? Do you play your system loud? Cheers |
HappyJack,
I have no idea what Bose incompatibility that they are talking about. The audio sounds the same to me as it did with the 6-CD changer installed. What can I say? Mine works. Yours may or may not work, and mine might burn up tomorrow - But so far, so good! ![]() ![]() Klaus Skull & Bones Member since 2003 |
Hi
I am an avalanche owner who just installed a UM8 in it. I will say it is kick. My install needed a diffrent bose amp and mic for it to work . my question is which bose amp is in the H2. the part # is Amp #15199992.. this is the one with the UM8 needs can any one verify this # Scott |
by the way this is the incompatibility problem, we avalanchers have the cheep shi_ bose amp and it won't work untill you change to the above part#.
also if any else needs a UM8 I can get them also. Scott |
