I was hoping this would be an easy place to put an input jack for Ipod or other mp3 player, but I don't know enough to do it myself.

Someone from another thread (or was it another forum?) had part numbers of various Radio Shack switches that worked well in these holes. I try to find it again for you.

The old thread https://www.hummerforums.com/m_18502/tm.htm search really works? Try it sometime.

Ah, hey Narc Otic, just be sure to be anywhere but in my neck of the woods when driving, AND WATCHING MOVIES!!!?? Maybe you can read the newspaper too while being bothered with that pesky little unimportant act of DRIVING. No body but you on the road to worry about killing or maiming, you know, while you watch a movie and propell a2.3 ton brick down the road!! [:@]

Dont worry i wont be driving and watching TV at the same time
i set it up that way so my girlfriend can watch Tv and not bug me while i am driving Lol (even though icant watch it due to the angle of the Tv ) I know common sense not to watch tv while i am driving ...

Thanks for your opinion and concern
Let this Thread be a "Caution" for all those people watching tv while they drive...
