You need the OS2 if you don't want to splice all the wires.
If you have the set up that I have your factory amp supports
fade control - when you fade the sound from front to back.

If you have the "dumb-amp" there is no fade control - you can
not fade the sound from front to back. You get the same volume level
all the time to all 6 speakers 2 in the front and the 4 in the
back. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Rock! Quick anwser!

Thanks!!!

Hey there Garry!

Could you tell how did you solve that fade contol and steering wheel control issues, conserning the Kenwood install. I'm not so interested about the onstar since I will not be able to use it anyways. I'm looking to get Kenwood DDX7017 on my 2006 H2, but definately want to maintain the fade and steering wheel options.

Thanks!

I have been kinda busy but I just finished installing the TV tuner for the DDX7015 the DTC-V500. The unit is very easy to install. I mounted the antennas in the front windshield. I hid them between the liner in the roof on the glass. You have to mount the antenna in the shape of an "L"
according to the manual to get the best reception. I removed the vertical plastic sections where the small tweeter in the front of the dash is to mount the vertical section of the antenna. They are so long it is hard to find a good spot to mount it. I mounted the controller box under the center console vertically. You don't even have to bolt it down. It fits real snug. The head unit knows as soon as you plug in the TV tuner that it is there and you get a signal right away. I will post some photos in a few days. The install looks very clean with no exposed wires and the tuner pulls in the channels very nicely.

I am not exactly sure of the amp set up
on the factory 06, I know the 03 and 04
have different set-ups. The amp is the key
to the whole thing. Check in the glove box and look for a radio code marked "UQA" if you have that code then we have the same set-up. If you have this get the PAC-OS2 Bose interface adapter. That will give you the fade controls and dual zone that the DDX7015 supports. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hello Garry!

I'm about to make the purchase now and I'm kinda thinking that do I really need the PAC-OS2. I don't really need the dual zone and I'm not using the OnStar for sure. So, what do you mean by fade control?

Thanks!

I did not get the factory Nav option when
I ordered mine. I have not yet installed the
Kenwood Nav option as of yet. I may install it
next summer. I did add the Kenwood TV tuner.

I am going to place the Nav box in the space
where the onstar currently is located. I am
not sure if I am going to get a rear view mirror with the Onstar buttons and wire it myself of if I am going to install the buttons
some where else because I kept my onstar.

I will send you a wiring diagram of my set up tomorrow. I have to draw it up. I will also send you a list of what to get.

If you have not yet purchased the DDX7015 yet, you may want to look at the Kenwood DDX7017 - The menus are much better looking then the 7015s. Also, when viewing dvds you need the remote to select the menu buttons. On the DDX7017 the dvd menu buttons are fully touch screen. The 7017 has JPG & MPEG1 playback.

Yeah, Get the PAC OS2 Bose for PAC audio. Check my previous posts on this 1st to check you amp set up.

Here is the other photo. You can't see the antennas at all when the plate is put back.
