Ultimate iPod adaptor and 10Min install

[LV_H2]

Is there a limit to the number of albums/artists/playlists that can be viewed? I had heard that most of the earlier kits had a flaw which limited the number of items to 32.

Thanks for the info and the pics.

I have found no limit. I do know that the newer firmware fix all the problem that I had found. My firmware was about a year old and 8-10 ver. old as far as firmware. I was told that all bugs were fixed and the last few updates were for fixes for the new Vett.

Very cool post, you really hit the need there. I want to buy one, but want to make sure I get one with the right firmware updates. Is there a certain ver # I should look for? Is the one on ebay the right version?

Are you able to listen to iPod music and run the navigation system at the same time?

I was told by A.I. that the only online dealer that they support is the one that I posted earlier. I got mine from an online dealer that was not supported. I was going to return it but A.I. knew that I was going to write up my install and they said not to return it and they would hook me up with the newer firmware. I forgot to mention that I bought one from two different online dealers both sold me very old versions. And that is why A.I. won’t support them. Apparently when a distributor goes out of business the stock sit around and get sold off at cents on the dollar. And we get to find all these great bargains. Not so great if you were me getting two Ver.4-55-008, when the new version is 5-30-00. A lot of bugs were fixed in that time frame. So I would say buy from other online dealers at you own risk. It also good to know that the last few update were made for the new vetts so if you find one in the VER 5.0 range there just as good.


Yes you can use the Nav and the iPod at the same time. And if your on your Nav screen and the song changes or you change the song a small banner pops up and shows you the artist, song and track number.

Thanks for the info.

I spoke with A.I. today, and they confirmed: you need version 5.3 or higher. They do put a label on the unit showing the version, although it may not be visible until you open the package.

I agree with you, bargain hunting, and possibly ending up with an older firmware version, is NOT the way to go.

I have 2 units on the way with the latest firmware.

Nice write up. I haven't checked out their web site yet, but do you know offhand if it would work with a Panasonic Z1 Nav unit?

Great post. I think even i could install that. So, I just ordered one.

However, how do you switch between the ipod, XM and AUX using the screen or the steering wheel? Not sure how that works.

Thanks for this great product.

Just installed mine after taking the glove box off I figured out that it was not neccesary just push the right side of the rear of the box left and it falls open out of the way.Thanks for a great post.

I was all set to hit the road with my NUCLEUS ipod tunes and everything was alright while parked in the driveway then I decided to take my better half for a ride to a restaurant 50 miles from home. Long story short ABS light came on and stayed on the car surged several times the car shut off at low speed and a set of wind chimes began to play inside the H2 . Smooth going Mr. has to have every new gadget that comes out guy, was all my wife had to say.I hope they get a fix or refund my money.
