IPOD connection

[TorontoJeff]

There is a GM cable that hooks the ipod up to the AUX port. from there you can use a variety of aftermarket cradles to mount on the dashboard. (i used the one by DLO called Transpod)

for more info on the Ipod cable (as i do not know the proper terms) call the store that installed mine, Kromer Radio, at (416) 920-6700

The H3 does have an AUX input, i know because i just hooked my ipod up through it. (I have the basic stereo with the single CD player). If you keep pressing the BAND button, once the ipod is connected to the AUX input, you get the AUX channels (1 and 2). </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hey TorontoJeff, would you like to share on how you where able to hook-up your iPod through the AUX Input? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Does anyone know if the same AUX port is also on the Monsoon/6Disc/AM/FM? I just placed and order last night: Slate Blue/LUX. I would be willing to change the order tomorrow if it doesn't have the jack. Connecting my ipod is essential. Thanks for any help.

Words I never thought I would hear, trading an Element for a Hummer

</div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I like to think of it this way.....if the H3 was available 2 1/2 yrs ago- I wouldn't have to trade the Element for a Hummer. I'd already have one

Okay, I'll stop beating this topic dead shortly. TorontoJeff is on to something. I stopped at my local stereo installer's shop and picked up an adapter that connects between the existing "small" port on the back of the factory radio, and the original harness from the vehicle. Once I try it out, I'll let everyone know what it is, if it in fact works.

My BIG question is, for those of you who have already toyed around with the main connector harness that contains the power line, which wire is the power line most importantly, and which is the ground (I assume the black)? These are the only two direct wiring needs of the adapter, outside of wiring already built into the connector harness. Or should I simply tap into one of my two existing 12 volt power source adapators/plugs that we have?

The connector I have uses the digital dock on the bottom of the Ipod, not the headphone jack. it also charges while in the Transpod. The sound is fantastic.

A buddy of mine has a sweet little monitor in the dash of his Sequoia. We measured it and it would be the perfect fit in the stereo area of our H3's! On top of that, he has a bumper camera mounted on his SUV that is routed directly into the monitor. It's very slick. I'm really struggling to not make that purchase! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I did, and he stated there that some might question his choice of using the 12 volt power adapter/plug sources we have. Not sure why that is, other than possible noise interference. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by First Hummer:

You should check out crisco site he has step by step instructions when replacing factory radio.

Well I didnt have to use any other power source,when I put my Alpne 9820xm in my H3.Just connect the 2 or 3 purple wires like we both did and you should be all set for aftermarket radio.

Tie your shoes First Hummer!

I definitely think that the H3 needs an AUX jack....that's something I'll miss when I trade the Element in for the H3. I use it every time I'm in the car...

As for FM modulator's- I think they're pretty much useless. I have the Griffin iTrip and since I live in a fairly large city it's pretty much impossible to find a blank station that I can use to play the iPod.

Radio is very easy to pull out.Take 2 fingers and place them in the 2 power connectors and pull outwards.Once you have those clips pulled out the rest should be easy.Remember the Vents at top will come out with the front panel.Then just 4 bolts to un screw and it should slide rite out. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

[LUVIN MY H3]

So, ANYONE! What do I have to do to get a direct connection for my iPod? I have been checking daily with http://www.peripheralelectronics.com and they still have not come out with the interface for the H3. I have this great truck and a great gift from my wife and I want the digital sound. I hate the damn iTrip! Unless I am on a country road it sucks! Guys help me out so I can get the sound I want!

How is the sound quality? I saw that at The Sharper Image.

[gcraybas]

Are there any direct connections for IPOD. Anyone using fm transmitter( Monster) and how is the reception.
