Couple of places you might look are...

Where was the module located in your truck? I have not pulled mine out to check out yet. I do know that below the seat are cables with a 6 pin din connector that go the unit. I had one come disconnected at one point the the unit stopped working. That is what I was planning on splitting off of but the connectors in the module would be much easier.

HummerNewbie, which pioneer do you have?

I am running an AVIC-D1. Might consider bumping up to a Z1 after a while.

they put my box in the center console (bellow the radio/nav) right infront of the onstar module.

Thanks for the links, i think these guys might have what i need. havent had time to check yet. Thanks!

Not positive but believe that is where mine is located as well. May have to pull the center stack apart tomorrow to check it out. Hope the links help, I will look around and see what I can find as well.

I have not had a chance to check for the male plug but did just pull out the box and looked at it. From what I can tell, looks like I can split off from the blue connector to feed my A/V inputs from monitor A. For this I would just splice the wires and go to the A/V inputs with RCA cables then go to the box with the original plug.

You mentioned in the instructions it said you can do this, do you have a soft copy of the instructions or is it possible to scan them? I only received very basic instruction on how to operated it and nothing about the install.

the nav instructions say it can be done. Just like you I received only some stupid operating instructions for the DVD headrests. Sorry to have misinformed you about the instructions.

The reason i assume it can is because the dvds have an AUX function. I could be wrong. I an still trying to contact Invison and figure it out.

There are installation instructions at this site: http://www.invisionindustries.com/rev_instructions.html

These are vehicle specific, none for the H3. But you get the idea of the install from them. They dont have any technical stuff though, just how to install it.

Also next time i go to my dealer (probably within the next week or so) i will ask them to make me a copy if possible of any instructions they may have. Will post those when and if i get them.

I think i found the connector type from those links you listed. Will try and find some tommorow to check if they are the actual ones. Will post the type tomorow if they fit.

Hope this help, and thanks for those links again, saved me lots of time!

OK, I see what you mean now. I am not sure if the AUX function will work through the box as well or just through the AUX inputs on the front of the unit. Would be nice if you are correct about the AUX input on the box then you could also hook up a PS2 or XBOX. I have an appointment to get my oil changed on Saturday and will try to get more detailed instructions as well. If I can get them I will post. If all else fails, maybe I sound just drive across town and show up at Invision's offices and see what I can find out

If you want to send me or post the manufacturer name and part numbers of the connectors you found I can check with some of the electronics distributors I use to see if I can get samples. More than likely you will have a hard time finding them locally.

here are acouple i was looking at, im kinds skeptical that these are the ones but if you can check them out without spending money, that would be great, all i have around here is radio shack and they dont seem to have it ( gona check some installers as well):

maybe you should go over to invisions office, cracka few heads and make them tell you how to do it!

im also doubting that the aux would work through the box, but wanted to make sure, cauze it would be easier than any other way. If it doesnt work, taping into the wires like you said would be the best way to go.
