Why anyone would go to best-buy or other chain stores to have ANY work done on their car is beyond me....they are nothing more than minimum wage employees that stock the shelves after they install your radio. You will need an adapter harness to make your monsoon system work with your aftermarket headunit.....pm me what year/model hummer you have and I'll link you up.

 

Pioneer is the Shyt !

Might be a little expensive but you pay for what you get.

I think Alpine has gone downhill ever since they moved the factory to Korea the units look so Cheaply made.

 

I just installed the Kenwood DNX7100 unit. From a navigation standpoint I don't know if it gets better then Garmin. Real simple install as its all included in the unit, no need for separate components and it doesnt use a dvd for mapping so its spot on. Also no need to tie into the vehicle speed sensor as it uses waas for speed. I like the pioneers, but think the nav in the kenwood is amazing.

 

Try this website, i think you'll find there prices a little more reasionable

I think it is hard to beat the Kenwood DNX series for a dvd/nav system, considering what they are going for now. I just picked up a new DNX5120 for about $300 outa pocket so Im pretty pleased with it so far.

 

I have the Eclipse 7" touchscreen HDD (Hard Drive) Navigation/DVD and it is amazing!!! Really easy to use and you NEVER have to use those stupid naviagtion dvd's. HOWEVER... This thing was not Cheap. I think I paid close to $3000 for it after parts and add ons like iPod adaptor and stuff like that.... BUT if $$$ isnt a factor this is the one! Hands free, back up camera, Ipod interface... much more... amazing!!!

 

Oh yeah I totally forgot about the budget thing... sorry about that.

ive installed all of these units before. pioneer is a great player, but really complicated to me. I run the Eclipse AVN6620. It is priced reasonably and works great. extremely easy to use.

 

Does anyone happen to have one of the Pioneer AVIC F-series within their H-2 ? I am curious as to the fit. I was on Pioneer's website and went into the fit vehicle area where it did not populate any of the F series models; it provided a couple older versions with the 7" motorized screens. I am considering either the AVIC-F700BT or the AVIC-F90BT; I have seen now where these can be obtained for $414 & $661 respectively at retail & for even a little less on e-bay.
