05 Touch Screen Nav ???

[hummer17]

How does it work?

Do you have to hit some little relay switch under the dash or does it use a button on the factory unit?

How about for rear view?

Show some pictures...

Thanks Klaus.

The NAV unit cannot be bought at the dealer. You can only get them from ACDelco distributors. Two of them are:

I bought mine from the second link (Model). Beware that these places are not keen on selling to individuals, so their prices are all over the map when you call.

Thanks Klaus.
I think you used the GPS antenna from your Onstar System. Is the 15135178 model, from the 2005 Hummer and just the GPS antenna and not part of Onstar?
Also, once you install the TNR, do you have to have the dealer program your VIN into it?

Let me test it before I keep publishing the part number.

It was expensive, but still a little less than a used one recently sold for on ebay! And that one needed to be unlocked at a dealer. I bought mine from an ACDelco Distributor.

More info to follow...

Hummer17,

I junked the OnStar. However, the easiest thing to do is to mount a different "magazine" type changer (like the one I posted the link to earier in this thread) somewhere in the truck (it comes with a 16ft cable). Then you would not have to do anything with your OnStar at all.

I have thought about a "Digital Music" connection. I wouldn't buy a specialized adapter to work with an iPod, or any other player. I don't want to get locked into a certain brand. Instead, I'd buy this adapter that gives you a standard RCA input:

SVG-707 General Motors Class-II Auxilary Input Adapter

I don't own, nor have I tested this adapter, but it is the one I would buy.

BTW - The same company that sells the AUX adapter also sells the magazine changer:

USASpec SCD-G7i 2002-Up GM 6-disc Changer

The 2005 TNR Touchscreen Navigation works fine in my 2003.

[Klaus]

Yes, it works fine. See picture 2 on page one of this thread.

[Klaus]

I just ordered the TNR. I should have it by the end of the week, and if so, can install it this weekend.

More later...

[Klaus]

BTW - I suspect this CD Changer will work in the H2:

Thanks Klaus. I just sent Partsguy a PM.
Were did you put the XM module? I currently have my Pioneer XM module under the rear seat. I suppose I could put it there.

[Klaus]

H2ummer,

The factory XM Kit Tuner is mounted behind the glovebox. PM your email address to me, and I'll send my install doc to you.

If you have the Radio with Six-Disc CD, here's how to tell whether you have the Y91 LUX Amp, or the Non-Y91 Non-LUX Amp.

Press the AUTO EQ (Automatic Equalization) button.

If your choices include NORMAL, DRIVER, REAR, and SPACIOUS, you have the Y91, LUX Amp.

If your choices include CUSTOM or TALK, you have the Non-Y91, Non-LUX Amp.

Here are the TNR part numbers:

Y91 LUX - Part Number: 10377531

Non-Y91, Non-LUX - Part Number: 10377287


You must select the proper TNR for the Amp installed in your truck, or you will not get any audio. So far, all 2003s have the Y91, LUX Amp, 2004s may have either Amp (switchover during the model year), and 2005s have the Non-Y91, Non-LUX Amp. The Y91 LUX Amp communicates via the GM Class 2 Databus, while the Non-Y91, Non-LUX Amp does not. The LUX Amp has DSP.

Good job Klaus!!!

Klaus- thanks for the email nice job. I am however confused as to which touch screen unit I can use in my 03 h2. It came with the factory in dash 6 disc Bose system. I seen this one- 05 hummer nav -and was wondering if this is the right one? I am getting the itch to make this mod but dont want to blow this much coin on something that might not work. Any help is appreciated.

I had the second highest bid on Ebay for a 2005 TNR navigation radio and the six disc changer. This would be the same setup as Klaus.

The winning bidder didn't follow through and the seller has contacted me for me to buy at my bid amount, $1426

You can see the item here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5730917270

PM me with your email address and I will forward your email to the seller. I made other arrangements after the bidding closed and now don't need it.

[Klaus]

H2ummer,

It is really amazing to watch those ACDelco distributors. The last person that tried to buy one from them had no luck with Model, but had success with Specmo. Go figure...

The XM Radio Kit, GPS Antenna, and the NAV DVD are GM parts and can be ordered from the dealer, GMPartsDirect.com, or even through "partsguy" here on the site (he works at a dealership). Here are the part numbers:

12498768 - XM Radio Kit

10390370 - NAV DVD Disc

15135178 - NAV GPS Antenna

Be aware that GMPartsDirect.com's shipping is expensive, and their return policy is bad (special order items cannot be returned). See if "partsguy" here can give you a better price. He's helped me out in the past.


H2Chuck,

Sorry, I didn't take pictures when I connected the VSS, as I did it when I installed the CD Changer. I'll try to get you more info on that, however. If you are not doing the Changer, I'd still order the Changer Cable, GM part number 15312903. Two of the wires are not used on this cable when adding a Changer to the H2, so they can be cut off. The wire with the connector can then be added to the radio connector for the VSS.
