I just purchased a 2006 Hummer H3 and am wondering...

1) Is there a way I can connect my iPod to the stereo so I can listed to my music without the use of a FM Modulator? How expensive is this part? How difficult is it to install? Anyone have directions how to install one?

2) My rear bumper does not have a cutout for a trailer hitch. Does this mean my Hummer cannot tow trailers? Is the radiator and transmission cooler smaller? Is there a way to install a hitch without the big bar hanging under the rear bumper? How about the wires? I looked under the bumper and near the license plate light and couldn't find any wires for a electrical plug.

Helpppp!

 

there is a device out there that u can install to hook a ipod up but u need to have a band button on your radio. cant think of what there called right now but some 1 will come along with it also very easy to install just a plug n play and possibly a wire to power it, now for the trailer issue. 2 ways u can go. first is more expensive and don't recommend which is go to the dealer and they will say u have to buy a new bumper with the cut out and then get a hitch which i have no idea what they will charge. 2nd is buy a hitch that is made for the h3 and there is no need for any modification to your bumper and think they are called hide away hitch and it is a quick install with no drilling required and u use the 4 bolts u have on the h3. as to wiring i have not verified this but have heard if u follow the wire's going to the license plate and if u look inside the wire loom they are tucked in there. o think the hitch starts around $179.99 and u have to add s/h and tax

 

Thanks for the info Lucky!

Does anyone know where I can get this iPod hook up?

Also, I couldn't locate the trailer wire hook up. Do all H3's have this and I am missing it?

One last question....does anyone know where I can get a plate to cover the area where my rear tire mounts on the rear door? I am going to remove my tire and bracket but don't know what to cover the area with???

Thanks!

 

the owners are custom making steel covers for them, id use alum painted myself?

 

I got my ipod hook up at Circuit City - they are gone now, but I'm sure either Best Buy or the Apple Store will have them. Probably a good chance at WalMart, Target, Sears, and Radio Shack too.

i was told the wire is located in the wire loom,did u check inside the wire loom cause some one else on the forum said when he added a hitch that there was wire allready there and it was in the wire loom going to the plate,let us no if it's there. i never checked cause i have not added a hitch but if i do i will be looking.
