VLXJIM - Hey, Congrats on the new arrival.

Getting any sleep?

LV_H2 - Thanks for the new link. That is the information that should have come with the package. I now know what to do.

Thanks again to all for the great product and Tech Support.

What a great group.

I now have mine installed and love it. Not only is the sound cd quality, but you can turn it up loud. With the DLO transpod I would have the volume up all the way and alot of songs were not very loud. I changed the preset names as described in this thread and changed how my songs are organized on the ipod. I have a 60GB with about 50 filled with music. Definitley needed to reorganize playlists to allow faster browsing using the NAV screen. I did try hooking a portable DVD player to the AUX. It works but has a very loud hum. Called tech support and they recommend a ground loop isolator from Radio Shack. Hooked it up last night and still have the loud hum. It must be the power interference making it's way to the stereo. I've gone back to using the DLO transpod for the portable DVD player in the backseat and unhooked the AUX in. Anybody have any other ideas on why the DVD had so much noise? I would like to run it through the AUX in but can't stand the constant hum.

Default Re: Ultimate iPod adaptor and 10Min install

Hi guys I am really in need of help about this topic....when I got my Hummer I order it with the Nav System but with out XM ( I guess this means that the xm modulator is not there...correct me if I am wrong). I am dying to listen to my IPOD through the Hummers premium sound system. I know the nucleus adapter works with out the XM and I should just get a different harness with it. My concern is that since i need to order a different part, is the installation more difficult?? will I have to cut wires and do stuff like that??. Has anyone installed the adapter that didnt have XM???...My hummer is a lease so obviously i have to give it back the way they have it to me and if i have to cut wires then i guess ill have to use an fm modulator which i don't want...i want the best possible sound that I can get....can anyone give me any suggestions/tips?.....please??? thanks

All you need is the other harness. But you do need to remove the radio. The other harness plugs into the back of the nav radio and there?s no wires to cut. Takes about an hour and a half to install.

Am I correct that getting to the back of the radio is a Dashboard Removal type of job with a much higher level of difficulty that the GloveBox Removal 10 min install?

Thank You very much for the response, do you know if removing the radio is an easy process?? I am guessing that it is difficult since it takes an hour and a half compared to 10 minutes if i had xm...Are there any features that I will be losing since I dont have XM?....

Actually the ebay link has instructions on what to do if you don't have XM.........too complicated for me plus it's only a lease, too chicken to mess something up.... guess I'll have to settle with a FM transmitter and get lousy sound quality... oh well, wish the 2006 Hummer H3's Navigation Systems had an AUX port.

Thanks alot for the responses

oh here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...keT rack=true

Hey Guys,

JoeHummer and I have both had "strange" electrical problems and have both installed the Nucleus X2i Ipod Adapter. See his thread titled "Dash Lights Flashing".

Anybody else with this issue? My car is new, so I can't be certain if it is the car or the iPod adapter.....
