Questions from newbie!

Rob,

It looks like it has been a while, but I thought I would help you out on the first question.

I heard lots of good things about this iPod connector and hope to get one soon. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-tzW6l6h...120&tab=review

Crutchfield is great with support and will help you with any installation issues. Good luck on the other two.

There is a good write up on a guy that removed his spare from Canada in 2006 posts, but I can't find it. I remember his '06 Hummer was yellow and he spent lots of time on the conversion and posted several pictures. I know he had problems with air pressure in the car after covering the vent in the back tail gate. He had a custom solid plate made, but later ended up putting the vent in because of air pressure in the cabin. There was also a red one that removed the tire.

As for towing - the non Alpha model with 4500# capacity is really stretching it and really hard on the drivetrain. I towed a 2800# Uhaul trailer out to Dillon in my '06 H3, and performance in the mountains was very marginal. Obviously your H3 did not come with the factory towing package.
