IPOD connection

[Hummer4Life]

Well, the sad news appears to be that those of us with upgraded stereo systems i.e. anything other than the base single CD without monsoon, are stuck with using an FM modulator to play the iPod through the factory stereo, or purchase an aftermarket stereo with an AUX port. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by xburbman:

Just removed my Monsoon/MP3/Single Disc/AM/FM system and guess what?? THERE IS NOT AN AUX INPUT!!! The freakin' Hummer 800-line people I called yesterday don't have a clue. Now that I have it out, what should I do? The most important thing to me is to get the ipod connection made directly through some sort of head unit, not through FM modulation. Should I just get the basic H3 stereo (which TorontoJeff says has the AUX connection), or should I look for something else? I do not like the way aftermarket stereos look in our beautiful brushed steel console, unless the steel on the aftermarket is identical to it (which isn't likely). Is there any DVD touch screen that fits the entire space perfectly, and will have a connection for an iPod?<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by First Hummer:

Thanks First Hummer. You aren't trying to get me fried, are you? It's okay for me to stick my fingers in the two power outlets at the bottom of the console?<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by First Hummer:

The Hummer folks confirmed to me that there IS an AUX port on the back of the Monsoon/MP3/Single Disc/AM/FM system. Is the system easy to pull out? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Radio is very easy to pull out.Take 2 fingers and place them in the 2 power connectors and pull outwards.Once you have those clips pulled out the rest should be easy.Remember the Vents at top will come out with the front panel.Then just 4 bolts to un screw and it should slide rite out. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hummer4Life: I've recently purchased an iMac G5 and with it came a mini iPod (now my girlfriends). More importantly I have purchased an H3 (Slate Blue/Lux Pkg/XM Stereo-6 CD/AM-FM) How difficult will it be to interface her iPod with the Stereo? I'm not electronically savvy. Your insight is appreciated. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
