The Hot Seat

[H3Lady]

The other day, while it was in the 90's here, I took my H3 shopping. I though I was sick or the air was not working very good.

Turn out my heated seat was on HI accidently.

I wish there was an light on the dash to say it was on or something to that effect.

This is the third time I have read this. Another argument for me to get cloth.

[Georgemarc]

There are more than enough lights on the dash as is, no need to add more just for this.

[H3OH]

Confucius say...

Go to drive H3 with warm tush mean switch is flipped in on position.

Ok, that was bad, but for a better one...

Confucius say...

Go to bed with itchy bum wake up with smelly finger.

[wannabeH3]

yeah right the whole chair adjustment/heat is in such an inconvienient spot, they should have the heat switch either by the door lock handle or center console with a light in my opinion

[timgco]

I agree with H3Lady on this one!
Why can't we just order another switch like that and re-mount it somewhere esle. Leave the old one in there so there is no hole.

Good idea. You could mount a push button switch at the bottom of the center stack.

[H3Lady]

Just spoke to a friend at GM, next production year, they are moving the switch to the center console under the radio.

Darn it...wish it was like that now.

I am going to find out with what timgco said, add another switch somewhere else..

Center console under the radio makes perfect sense. That's where most of them are in other vehicles. It's not a huge deal right now since my hands are never down there, and I like where my seat is at, but I could see it as a small problem if someone else drives the vehicle like my wife!

You could just tap into wires and put in a lighted rocker switch or button rite were they have those to extra spots under ac controls.

First Hummer,

I can't do that as I have already installed a James Bond Ejector seat button there for people who make comments that the H3 looks like a Jeep. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Sounds like a good idea. I'm sure someone could come up with a slick device that automatically turns on the seat warmer if the outside temperature reaches "x" degrees. That would be interesting!

so any idea on other changes for next year? I'd really like to see a black wheel option along with a chrome, but i'd doubt that would happen

[H3Lady]

I know of one major change, but I can't say now...my son would get mad at me.

I will keep ya posted when I can spill the beans.

You see, you can't just come on here and say things like that...unless you want to get harassed. Around here, in Texas, you could get your ass kicked for doing something like that. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Nice try...waiting for the response.......................................... ...........................................

[HummerNewbie]

I could be wrong but I would think that if there was going to be a big change and she knew it was coming, she would have waited herself. I could be wrong though and it is going to be at least 10 months before they come out I am sure.

I get a new GM product every 12 month, and I love the H3 so I got one now.

OUCH HummerNewbie - you been got!......I, too, get the newest as GM comes out with something but I usually only wait 6 months before the next trade! AND - I never reveal any of the "trade secrets" or even "hint" at them! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[H3Lady]

I am not revealing anything...News media already has this info anyway for release in October. No big deal http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

I am only going to guess, but I think it's a limited edition H3...only a guess I maybe wrong.

a f-it.... getting a secret from a lady if your a guy is damn near impossible..... if your girl it's easy it's just called gossip

i think that the only thing that I would hold out for would be a power down rear window.... or a bigger engine.... so should I hold out or not? :-P

If Limited Edition means ass-tone (aka two-tone) paint then count me out (see the post here on those ugly beasts!). Limited Editions are usually let downs anyway (by the time they come out, serious owners have already made that upgrade or modification since most of it is cosmetic), so fire away and get what you want now! I don't see a Z06-esque type upgrade for the H3's.

i get it through my grandma now. It was originally through my grandpa but he died a few years ago. He worked at the plant where they make the trailblazers and all....waaaaay before they actually made cars there. They actually used to make fridges.

[HummerNewbie]

That is amazing that you can get it when they made fridges http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

My dad worked at a GM plant in KC for a summer job one year when he was in high school. Think I can get on from him http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I used to wait 6 months or so before I bought a new product but now with our focus on getting the product right the first time I wouldn't hesitate to buy one right out of the chute.

I also buy often like H3Lady... however I used to do it every six months, and not only for myself but my wife as well. So buying a brand new product right out of the chute is not a big concern for me. Hey one can always trade it in for the next great color or newest model.

Again, with the strong focus on getting the product right the first time our new vehicle launchs are better than ever!

BTW: I liked the new H3 so much I bought one even with the knowledge that there will be new and improved models coming out down the road (called continious improvment). I.E. increase in HP next year and perhaps even a V8 in 08. Hey that even rhymes so nice too doesn’t it? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif</span>

'08, perfect timing for me to trade-in my '06 http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Ya he was there when GM bought out the plant so he just kept on working for GM, then he retired a couple of years later... now only if I could get a discount on a new fridge. The one that was in my house when I bought probably was made back when that plant was making them.

Marc good point on the trading it in in 08
