This write up will show the installation on a H2 with Nav and XM. This install is the same for the single and 6 disk in dash as well. Read the install instructions that come with the Neucleus NC-X2i and the NC-GM32T harness. I have no affiliation with American International and I?m sharing the install experience that I had. Do this at your own risk.
The only parts that you well need are the Neucleus NC-X2i and the NC-GM32T harness. You will also need a few zip ties.
I will now go into the details of this quick install. You will need only one tool for this a 9/32 socket to remove the three screws at the bottom of the glove box. Start out by removing the three screws at the bottom of the glove box. You will find the XM unit right behind the glove box.
Here is the XM unit. You need to remove the top plug buy first pulling out the blue clip about 1/8?on the plug and then push the little locking lever down while pulling the plug out.
Using the NC-GM32T harness, take the plug that you just removed from the XM unit and plug it into the harness. Now plug the harness into the XM unit.
It should now look like this.
What I did was wrap the Neucleus NC-X2i in a piece of foam like this.
Next plug the Neucleus NC-X2i into the harness. Route the iPod cord to were you want the iPod to be. I mounted my iPod in the left side of the glove box you may want it to be somewhere else. Now plug the iPod cord into the Neucleus NC-X2iIt will look something like this.
Now tuck the Neucleus NC-X2i and its cords away like this. IMPORTANT turn on your radio but don?t touch the radio controls for a few minutes while the radio learns the Neucleus NC-X2i.
While your waiting reinstall the glove box. Plug in your iPod.
That is all that there is to it. By using the preset button #1 you can now toggle between iPod, Aux in and XM mode.
I used three different iPods a 15gig 3G, 60 gig 5G video and a 4gig Nano. They all worked well I did note that the older 3G was a little slower (a small delay when changing songs using the radios controls) than the two newer iPods. I did talk to American Internationals customer service and they were a very helpful and knew there product. I don?t think that there is a better solution at this time for this application. I will be posting update to this as needed.
As far as I know this is the same install for most GM SUV?s and trucks.
I hope this has helped some of you H2 owners.

Thanks, I hope it helps out. When I was first looking to see what was out there I found others products that would work but there install required a relay if you wanted to keep your XM or you needed to cut into you factory wiring harness. This product made since.
As far as not having XM, there is a harness for that application as well the part # for that is NC-GM31T but I believe that the installation is different. I think that you need to get behind the head unit to plug it in. But I’m not sure.
As far as cost I have found them for $150 - $200 just make sure that you get it from a dealer that keeps newer stock so you get the more updated firmware in the unit. I found some dealers that had older units in stock. You might tell your dealer to order you a new one.
I will try to put a list of dealers that are good to go with that have current stock. I will see if A.I. can get me a few names.

For $189
But this dealer always has the latest firmware.
I drove out to A.I. today (120mi) to get my unit updated with the latest firmware. It was worth it the new update is much better and fastest, there is better and more info on screen. The guys at A.I. were a great help.If you need help give Victor or Keith a call at there tech support.

Yes you can use the Nav and the iPod at the same time. And if your on your Nav screen and the song changes or you change the song a small banner pops up and shows you the artist, song and track number.
