After much research I found this little gem that you could install in less than 10 minutes. With full Text and iPod function over the iPod using the radio and steering wheel controls. There are no special labels that you need for the play list like on other units out there you can also use the iPods controls as well. This is not some poor quality RF solution either. This is a high sound quality wired in pre amp level adapter. As a bonus you also get an auxiliary input that you can hook up your DVD sound to or other pre amp source to. 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.

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 Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) _____________________________ 2006 H2 SUT Pacific Blue Limited (in reply to vlxjim) Post #: 2 RE: Ultimate iPod adaptor and 10Min install - 2/22/2007 4:09:06 AM    vlxjim Posts: 17 Score: 0 Joined: 2/18/2007 Status: offline 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.

Now plug the harness into the XM unit.

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.

IMPORTANT turn on your radio but don’t touch the radio controls for a few minutes while the radio learns the Neucleus NC-X2i.

By using the preset button #1 you can now toggle between iPod, Aux in and XM mode.

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.

It has a timer that turns off the power after 20-30 min. when you remove the key and open your door.    < Message edited by vlxjim -- 2/22/2007 2:16:28 PM > _____________________________ 2006 H2 SUT Pacific Blue Limited (in reply to RutDogg) Post #: 15 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
