HD Radio

[whaaaaT]

Is there a way to put HD radio in the truck without changing the head unit out? Some kind of adapter or something?

the http://www.diceelectronics.com/hd_integration.htm is probably what you are looking for but unfortunately not available for any of teh Hummers yet. actually its available for very few vehices. maybe they will make one soon, its pretty new.

[whaaaaT]

yes that would be perfect. thanks Strange that they dont have it for the hummers but the picture of the nav radio for the advertisment is my gm delphi radio. maybe they'll have it soon.

Thought I'd bring this thread back from the dead. Anyone have an HD radio in their H3?

[Wisha Haddan H3]

I'm guessing nobody's done this, but BTT anyway


About all I can find for the H3 (short of getting a new radio) is this universal model (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-oKPKS8xjMUF/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=186650&I=60744000). Or something hacked together with this ipod adapter (http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=1041).

It is a little spendy at 299, but that includes installation, and now they have a 40 mail in rebate.
It is supposed to work with H3 with stock radio. Plus it comes with installation. I haven't heard any feedback on it, but looks promising.

It also would allow you to hook up your ipod.

If you get it and it doesn't work, Costco will give you a full refund and refund your shipping costs.

You can check out their website

http://www.diceelectronics.com/hd_basic.htm

They list the HD Radio unit by itself for 199 - 40 mail in rebate.
The installation is available for 90 bucks.
The ipod integration cable is $39.

With Costco you save 30 bucks and have a great return policy.

Install it yourself and save 90 bucks.

Thanks H3slate, this looks like exactly what I wanted.

Looks like the rebate's from dice, not costco, and $160 for HD is very tempting. Dice charges 40 bucks for the ipod cable alone, so $260 installed with the ipod interface is really good.

Don't waste your money, it will run commericals and none is watching the store. Buy a script to Sirius and be happy

True, but on the other hand, you get local weather, announcements, and traffic reports on local radio. And I don't know about other areas, but Denver has 28 stations broadcasting 40 HD channels.

I've been trying out XM on Comcast at home lately. I like some of the channels, but enough to buy a subscription? I dunno.
