Help from Audio/Video Gurus...

[Humdingah]

All,

I have a 2005 H2 with the touchscreen Nav radio and want to add both an iPod interface as well as using a Coastal Video Lockpick that I have. I also have the Pac-Audio uPC-GMC2 iPod interface but it uses a harness to the factory radio, not unlike the Video Lockpick. What I need is an iPod interface that connects to the XM receiver and doesn't use a dedicated wiring harness at the radio. Coastal doesn't carry one that works on a 2005 even though their documentation states that it works with Gen 2 radios and most XM radios from 2003-on. Pac has several products but they are far from plug-and-play and none of them allow you to maintain the factory XM without using a relay and switch wired in...not exactly a clean install. Scosche shows an interface for 2008-on and the Nucleus interface scares me. One I haven't looked at much is USA-SPEC but it also appears to use its own harness at the radio as well as having to splice a wire from the XM receiver.

Has anyone successfully figured out this combination yet? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dan
