03 H2 radio issue!

[SnoopFogg]

Hello! I've been a lurker here forever and have truly appreciated ALL of the great info I've picked up over the years. I have an 03 H2 with the Bose lux amp and my 8 year old decided to stuff as many CD's in the OEM head unit as she could... now it just has a CD icon blinking and will not eject the overstuffed CD's. This is actually a good thing because now I HAVE to pick up a Touch Screen Navigation! I want an OEM TNR and have discovered that the following model numbers will fit my LUX set up:

Newest Revision LUX TNR-------15800001
Second Revision LUX TNR-------15230099
First Revision LUX TNR-------10377531

I think the 15800001 is the 06 LUX model. What I want to know is will any of the 07-09 TNR's work in an 03 H2 with the Bose Lux system?

If anyone has any solid info - or better yet 07-09 part numbers, I would really appreciate it!

You have to figure out what amp you have and can be determined by looking for the code in your glove box. OR look at the part number on the amp.


03 and 04 used a different non-touch screen nav
05 to 07 used the same touch screen with updated versions AND updated discs
08 and 09 is a complete revamp and I believe uses a diferent amp and has a different touch screen as well.

In all honesty, if you cannot find a factory nav for $400 or $500 UNLOCKED and programmed for your truck, I would look at the Pioneer Avic's. you can get them pretty cheap and will have the option of using your NAV and listening to CD's at the same time where 03 to 07 factory NAV's you cannot.

Thanks, I've been looking at aftermarket options as well. I know I have the LUX Amp - Y91 in the glove-box and EQ options for "Driver, Spacious, Rear" etc. I've seen people mention having the newer 08-09 TNR's "programmed" for either lux or non-lux? Before I buy a "LUX TNR-------15800001" off Ebay I wanted to find out if the most recent OEM TNR800's would work with my setup.
It sounds like they won't ... but I know as soon as I pull the trigger I'll see a thread about how to install an 09 TNR in an 03 H2!
