Default Newbie H2 owner from England with some questions?

Hello all. After a few months searching. I have finally bought a H2. Really loving it. A few things i need some help with. All the H2,s i have looked at have had really bad radio controls. And my one fairs no better.

Can i buy replacement buttons??. Or do i have to apply some paint to them. I am really surprised by the finish on them,as the finish just seems to flake off.

The other question is. On the way home i was driving along the motorway. I gave it some gas and the speedo jumped from 60mph to over a 100mph,when in reality i was only doing 70mph. Eventually the needle went off the dial.And only showing 80mph at idle. I take it the speedo is electronic?? And maybe a fault within the E.C.U.

Thanks for any help given.

Congrats on your H2. You are going to love it. I have an '05 and my radio buttons are fine. I would think it would be easier to replace the entire radio than it would be to hunt down replacement *****. Maybe someone here has a ready source?

Your speedo sounds fubar'ed. Best thing would be to take it to an authorized dealer and get it replaced.

Good luck and let us know how it turn out. Welcome to the forum!

My buttons are fine but I have seen others that are as you described. I always wondered if you could apply some black model paint with a small brush. I think it would have to look better. I have a used 6 disc radio that is in perfect shape for sale if you dont find any solutions.
Your speedo cluster needs rebuilt or replaced.
Congrats on the new rig you will enjoy it.

Thanks for the replys guys. i will try some black nail varnish. Our nearest Hummer dealer(And there is only one official one in the UK) is 240 miles away. I have a local independant American car specialist near me. I will try them for the speedo. Spent the best part of the day detailing the interior. Start the outside tomorrow. I will post some pics up when done.
