The FM mod is looking better and better...just received a quote for installation
of $350.00 Alpine in-dash cd player...$888.17.

$125.00 in labor

414.17 in adaptors to get the aftermarket stereo to: plug into Ipod, utilize door chime, and be able to use the audio controls on the steering wheel.

Wow....gonna have to re-think this one...

is the I-pod the only reason you want to change out the stock HU? If so you can get an adapter that will play your I-POD through your stock HU for $179-$189 depending on what year H2 you have. No labor rate either,....it''s a simple plug and play unit.

Basically...the only reason is to play the Ipod. Will the cable allow control of the Ipod through your stock HU and/or the
steering wheel controls?

Thanks.

I have an Alpine IVA-W200. If you go to Alpine USA's web site and select the multi media monitors you can view all of the items you can hook up to the unit. Obviously Alpine will strongly recommend their products but I am sure you can try some cheaper add ons.

The best part is once you plug it up you can use the remote or the touch screen for all of your goodies.

Do not go by what Alpine retails the product for. I was able to get it for alot less from a local shop.

Ok found this cable to integrate the Ipod to the Hummer stereo...

http://www.oemautosound.com/pc-266-188-hummer-to-ipod-interface-2003-2006-pa11-gm.aspx

Says it connects through the "CD Changer" connection....my question is does my H2 have a external CD
changer connection?? I have an 2006 SUT - with a single disc CD player...

Thanks.

Importkiller...I did see your post and link. But I dont think that cable will work. My stereo doesnt have an external CD changer option...I dont
believe. Its a single CD player and a cassette deck. Doesnt have an "Aux" button anywhere on it.

Anyway to know if this cable will plug into the back of my stereo??

Thanks.

I would call logjam to make sure but I think that adapter I listed will wor with your radio. On most of them if you don't have an aux button you use the band button to change from radio to the i-pod adapter.

Jason,

Just wondering what you ended up doing regarding this issue.

I was given a Sirius satellite radio and the FM modulator won't work in our area (NYC, all FM stations in use). So I purchased a relay that switches the radio to either the standard antenna or the Sirius antenna. But to install this relay, I need to take the dash apart. I saw some instruction that someone had offered you in another thread. I was going to follow these instructions, but was wondering if you went that route, and if so, how was it?

Thanks Jason. Take your time; do it right. But would appreciate any comments on how difficult (or easy) the process actually was and any problems you had to overcome, if any.

I just followed those directions to install a Inline FM Modulator and I had the dash bezel out and the modulator installed and everything put back together in about 30 minutes. Its really pretty simple and being as I saved myself about eighty bucks doing it myself I felt pretty darn good.

I agree...directions are good. I took me closer to 1.5 hours...to disassemble and reassemble.
But it really was not difficult. I was a bit intimidated about "popping" the shifter boot and the front
cover loose. They are both held in place by clips - so you have to apply quite a bit of force to get them loose.
I lost a couple of the clips that the shifter boot goes into...but everything seemed to go back together good.
I have to take it a part again in a week or so...so I can replace the clips then.

The rest is very simple.
