Dash Lights Flashing

Joe,

This happened to me twice this weekend. Mine is a brand new 2007 H2.

As you know from the other thread (Ultimate iPod Adapter), I have also installed the Nucleus X2i iPod adapter. As mine is a brand new car, and I installed the ipod adapter immediately after purchase, I wasn't sure if it was the car or the adapter.

This weekend, I uninstalled the iPod adapter. As the electrical problem was intermittent, I was going to drive around for a week or so and see if it happens again without the Nucleus adapter.

Keep in touch so we can let each other know how it goes. My hope is that it is the adapter and not the car!

I'll also post on the Ultimate iPod adapter thread.

Do those Ipod adapters require any type of ground?
The problem sounds a lot like an intermittent ground problem.

I agree, it sounds like a ground problem.

Unfortunately, the adapter comes with a Y harness that simply splits the XM connector for hookup to the XM tuner and the iPod Adapter. No actual ground wire for the adapter.

There is, however, an AUX input (RCA jacks) on the ipod adapter, and there are two "hot power" wires from the harness for connection to an AUX device. I taped these wires off with electrical tape upon install. Maybe these are the problem.

I will be calling the manufacturer tech support to ask them for assistance.

Thanks for the input.

I did as AI suggested and returned my Nucleus to logjam electronics. They sent me a replacement, ver 5.03, but as I suspected, it is doing the same thing. I just emailed AI tech again to see if they have any update. At this point I'm going to return my current Nucleus to logjam and get my $ back. If they do find a fix I will probably purcahse a new one at that point. I'll keep everyone posted on what I hear from AI.

I returned my 2 units as well. No more flashing lights for approx. 2 weeks, including a road trip from Las Vegas to San Diego and back.

My XM radio display now only shows the first letter af the artists name, instead of the full artist name.

In addition, there was a blown fuse for my factory-installed rear/headrest DVD system. Works fine with new fuse.

I think an electrical "problem" is a major deal and I do not plan on re-installing an A.I. unit.

Just received a response from A.I. tech support:
"we are testing a new batch right now. I should have results hopefully by Thursday or Friday. give us a call Friday and see where we are at".

I have received my RMA # from logjam and will be returning my 2 units tomorrow. Not sure if I"m going to repurchase when the problem is fixed.
