Installed dual Headrest DVD entertainment system (older style, with 1 DVD player in center console) and back-up rearview camera with slide-out screen.
All native, Boulder Accessories, made specifically for HUMMER H2. Love how the headrest matches the color of my leather and all teh parts have little "hummer' on it.
Kids love it!:jump:

Anyway, the reason for the post, is to pop-up in a search, in case somebody has any questions. I know I had, so I had to dig through several different threads, new and old. Thought I'd help the future DIYs :)
Post questions here or email me at max_vark@hotmail.com.

One note on rearview system - you definetely do NOT have to remove the visor and in my '07 I already had a hole in a firewall, plugged, and the new plug, supplied with the kit fits perfectly.

Max,

Can you post a good pic of the fm modulator location and where you got the power feed? I found the juction block behind the passenger side dash panel but there are no pins in it for the power plug.

Nevermind, found a place to plug in power under drivers side dash.

Now I just need to figure out why the FM modulator was not in the box.

My kit came pre-assembled (DVD was already installed in the ceneter console pocket and A/V box was on teh bracket)
I put the FM modulator right behind the passenger side kicker panel (plastic vertical panel, that you can take off after you pop the door seal on passenger side). You will see the radio connectors there, just unplug them, plug the modulator in between them. Modulator is teh black box with a small power plug and 2 connectors: one male (looks like a needle to pump the football (did I say that teh preseason is here ???!!!!:jump: :clapping: :clapping: :popcorn: ) and another is a female connector)

Antenna plug is the silver one, power plug is the black flat one with a bunch of color wires. The modulator box tucks nicely behind the wire. I ducktaped it together, so it stays in place, can't see it under the panel anyway. The cable goes in the cut in the carpet/foam under the top carpet.

On a side note the kids were able to watch and listen with headphones today.
