I have the Monsoon sound system in my H3 and would possibly/maybe like to connect my iPod to it. Forgive me if I sound foolish but, what do I need to do to play my iPod in my truck? Thanks!

Here's what I purchased and installed in my H3. It's simple and easy to use.

I installed the same unit in my 06 SUT...crystal clear sound and easy to install.

I'm about to pull the trigger on this...my dealer, Sewell Hummer of Dallas, installs the Neucleus from Log Jam Electronics. The auto power off feature and the ability to install into the H3 with a 6 disc changer and XM without having to use an FM loop is perfect. And the control from the dash buttons will be nice.

And, like mentioned above, the answer is posted all over this forum

I hate to ask another Ipod question, but I have searched and have not found the answer. Both the web sites for the Log Jam Ipod solution and the USA Spec Ipod interface indicate that their product will only work with GM Hummer models up to 2006. Does anyone know whether either the Log Jam solution or the USA Spec solution will work with a 2007 H3? (Note, I have the Nav unit with XM radio, OnStar and Monsoon audio system factory installed, single in-dash CD disc player)

Thanks, Jeff

We just did a quick write up on hooking up the Ipod in the latest issue (www.ultimatehummermag.com)
Basically it depends on how much you want to spend and how concerned you are with sound quality and ease of use. The best sound comes from direct connect units. These are much better than FM modulators/transmitters but cost more and require some install knowledge. There are a few companies that work with NAV equipped radios and let you see the track playing on the stock radio, and utilize the steering wheel buttons. email me at info@ultimatehumermag.com and I'll get that info for you. Dont remember the companies at the moment.

Take care'

Where did you all tap into 12V+ power needed for the unit?

A cheap alternative is to use an FM transmitter for ipod. I hd one for my company car, stuck in my Hummer for a long trip to Moab and I was impressed. Sure it isn't digital but it wasn't bad either, especially considering is was about $25.00

Muddydawg75 - my manual says B1 is "Battery Positive Voltage". I haven't hit it with a meter. Do you know if this voltage is constant (never shuts off) or is switched? It sounds like it is going to be constant.

Hummer Driver - while the FM transmitter is cheaper (and easier), you'll really appreciate the sound quality. I have a Pioneer unit in my Explorer, and you definitely will love the sound and the ability to control the iPod through the head unit.

B1 is constant... you are correct.
