I just got off the phone with the installer for the dealership where I bought my Hummer. I stopped by there today to have them install my remote start/alarm. I asked them for the iPod connector/harness. They gave me one but it looked like the wrong type. This one had the RCA connectors on it with no place to plug in the iPC106. I called the dealer to let them know that they gave me the wrong one. They called back to give me the name & number of the installer. I called him and talked at length about what I wanted versus what they gave me. He said that the connector they gave me (part# CRD-2 VTR cable for the AVN30D) was the only one they used. I told him I had the iPC106... He said that they are being RECALLED! He said they have a propensity to lock up the AVN30D. (Something I've read on the Internet!) He said that they are trying to come up with a software fix for the problem. I told him that they are still selling the iPC106 at Circuit City. He said that Eclipse wrote them asking for all of them back. I assume that a recall will soon follow at Circuit City too. SO... He said that he would find me a harness to use with the iPC106 if I want. He said that the harness was a little more expensive than the one I have. (The dealer was supposed to charge me $50 but the salesman gave it to me.)
He is supposed to call me back on Thursday some time. I'll keep you posted as to how it all works out. In the meantime... I'll probably use the harness they gave me. They only problem is that it doesn't charge the iPod and the info doesn't show up on the screen. (I don't think...)
