Ultimate iPod adaptor

[vlxjim]

I'm new here, I have a new 06 H2. But I did want to post over here to you H3er's I've been told that the iPod install that I did is much the same as the H3 install so this might help some of you.

I just finished installing the American International Neucleus NC-X2i in my 2006 H2. After much research I found this little gem that you could install in less than 10 minutes. With full Text and iPod function over the iPod using the radio and steering wheel controls. There are no special labels that you need for the play list like on other units out there you can also use the iPods controls as well. This is not some poor quality RF solution either. This is a high sound quality wired in pre amp level adapter. As a bonus you also get an auxiliary input that you can hook up your DVD sound to or other pre amp source to.

Here is the link to the full write up hope it helps.:popcorn:

How much did you pay for the adapter and where did you buy it from? Thanks for the help.

As far as cost I have found them for $150 - $200 just make sure that you get it from a dealer that keep newer stock so you get the more update firmware I the unit. I found some dealers that had older units in stock. If you might tell your dealer to order you a new one.

I would not suggest the place that I bought from the guys over at A.I. said that they could give me a few good names. I well post them in the next day or so.

Update:

A.I. has advised me that the best place to get them online is at:

For $189

But this dealer always has the latest firmware.

I drove out to A.I. today (120mi) to get my unit updated with the latest firmware. It was worth it the new update is much better and fastest, there is better and more info on screen. The guys at A.I. were a great help.If you need help give Victor or Keith a call at there tech support.

Does anybody know if the XM module in a 2007 H3 is mounted in the same location behind the glove compartment? Thanks,

[vlxjim]

I'm told that is were it is.:)

Just an update, the XM module on an 07 H3 is under the radio unit and climate controls. I'll let you all know how the install is for that.

UPDATE: The XM Module for the 2007 H3 is located above the glove box. You can get to it by removing the center instrument panel (surrounds the radio/CD, climate controls, vents, 4x4 controls) and reaching down to right above the glove box. You cannot get to it just by removing the glove box. Sorry guys/gals, I have no pics.

Just got this installed. Works well, a bit tough to get used to the navigation controls. My version was 5.02 which I think is an older version, and I got it from LogJam, so whatever, it works really well. For now, I ran the cord from the unit out of one of the blank switch holders in the center console - I really don't like it much because it's bright white and is a bit obnoxious. Eventually I'll just route it back to the armrest box and just store the ipod in there while using it (completely out of sight).

Also got my cheapo headrest DVD system installed (just a wally world special), but now I can run the ipod through the car stereo and watch movies (aka porn) on the head rest monitors. Had to get some work done before the rain starts again :(
