ok, so I gave up waiting for them to get this junk working correctly...

I ended up on Ebay and for $164 shipped got the USA SPEC PA11-VETTE 2005-07 CHEVY/CADILLAC IPOD ADAPTER. This was for an '07 H2 "with" factory installed XM. If you do not have XM you want just the regular PA-11-GM (NOT Vette).

With the XM you do not need to pull the dash/radio out to hook the wiring to the back. You just hook up the wire to the XM under the glove box and out to the USA Spec. It's literally a 10 minute or less install...

They added a new hybrid mode where you can use both direct and playlist modes, so you can control your ipod by the click wheel and/or steering wheel controls and see the info on the screen. I had the same model years ago and you could only do one or the other. The only thing though if your particular model ipod is too new of firmware, you have to downgrade it to get hybrid to work or you have to use one or the other mode. Not tough to do the downgrade of the ipod btw..

The tech support at USA Spec is fantastic too. Answers the phone every time and will guide you slowly with whatever you need. I didn't get his name but it seems to be the same guy every time, even years back when I called...
