Alpine IVA-W505 Installed

Hey

I did alot of searching around before I installed the Alpine IVA-W505 in my 2007 H2, and I couldnt find much info on install notes.

Here are some thing I have found through the install:

I used the GMAH24B from Peripheral Electronics to interface the W505 to my Hummer harness.

I used the SWI-JACK to interface to my steering wheel controls since the headunit has a remote jack input.

The install was simple, at first I was worried about lack of volume control with Onstar, but now I have used it for a few days its not that big of a deal and it was definatly worth the trade off.

I continued to use the factory Bose amplifier and the sound diffrence between the Alpine unit and the factory deck are noticible. The sound is alot crisper and clearer, and I am really impressed with the sound quality of the Bose.

The SWI-JACK has been a little flakey, it was easy to program and setup, I just had to read the directions a few times. Sometimes it works awsome just like the factory installed system and sometimes it doesnt even register anything. I am going to call the company I bought it from and see if they sold me an older revision or something.

I will post some pictures in a few days, but if anyone has any questions or anything let me know and I will do my best to answer it.

Overall I am extremly happy with the deck and install how it sounds. I would recomend to anyone who is thinking about it.
