Installing the 2004 GM DVD Navigation System in a 2003 Hummer H2

[Bevo]

Pictures and write up please ! But first, let me thank you for all the info and work so far.

Pbuilder,

From the schematics I've looked at, it is the same signal sent to the speedometer. I thought I'd just tap into it the next time I take my dash apart to install XM.

Do you do something different?

When are you expecting to get your Nav DVD?

I want to hold off on going this route untill I'm 100% sure it works.

I have a rough copy of instructions/pictures in an Adobe PDF format. I have sent it to Jason to post.

If you want it, send me your email address, and I'll send it to you. 4MB.

Scott,

I just can't see needing TV on the NAV unit. You're right, best to go with a separate monitor.

Hey Klaus,

Thanks for all of the great information. As I had earlier suggested, it is possible.

In your document - is that rust on the metal support structure behind your dash?

Does GM know about this problem? I have taken apart plenty of dashboards in my time to install radios and I've never seen that much rust on the metal underneath in a car that is only 1-2 years old.

Someone should submit your picture to GM.

That much rust is no good for the long term.

Thanks,

[Klaus]

Yes I went to the speedo also .
if you don't after awhile it will set a code.
Also it will make it smooth like a babies ass.
no more jitters.

Frank,


Keep in mind this unit has the same limitations as the 2004 H2s have:

This unit will NOT play DVD movies.

There is only one slot. You must have the navigation disc in the unit to use the navigation function. Therefore, unless you go with a third party adapter, you cannot play a CD while using the navigation function.


So I would say that this is not a replacement for the Rosen unit.

Klaus,
Thanks!

I have tried to get one but no luck, the six disk changer is the same no luck. ebay or junk yards are the best bet.

As much as I want it, I can't justify all that dough.

[Klaus]

Thanks, Scott. I already had that one. That's where I got Delphi's number to try to get info. That was a waste of time!

BTW - PIE is coming out with an adapter like the Soundgate:

Klaus,

I thought I remembered reading in a previous post that ths unit would play a DVD movie, but only with the vehicle in park. Can you test it to see if it works? Any help would be appreciated.

[Pbuilder]

the xm, cd changer, and the rse all use the same conector. the data link is what controls it.I have a bunch of printout on the conector and schematics of everything.

[Klaus]

Pbuilder,

Do you have XM in your truck? That's the next add-on for me. I've looked at the schematics, and it appears that it could be added reasonably easy as far as connecting it goes. Getting the tuner module and the molex connector to plug the wiring into the module appears to be the biggest problems.
