Ultimate iPod adaptor and 10Min install

[hummer.dad]

I posted on the other thread as well. I have an '06 SUT. I installed the ipod adapter last Wednesday. Starting on Friday I have had my abs, brake & trac ctnl lights flash and the chime ring 3 times. Happens randomly and only periodically. I took mine to the dealer today for some other issues and mentioned this to them. I did not tell them about the adapter. Maybe I should as this might be the only issue. Let us know as soon as you talk with AI.

I have an 05 SUV and it has now happened about 5 or 6 times. What is weird is that the fuel gauge goes to empty when this happens and causes the low fuel light to flash. That is what gets my attention.

Hope Tech Support has good info.

I probably won't get to call them until Thursday.

Feel free if you want to give it a whirl:

Ok, here is my update. I contacted the dealer this morning and explained the ipod adapter install. They said the tech would check it out and see what could be found. They traced it down to an update for the power train control module. They reprogrammed the power train control module and believe this will solve the problem. I'm going to continue using the ipod adapter to see if I still get the flashing lights. I'll let you know what happens. If it does start again, I'm going to uninstall the nucleus and see if the lights flashing stops.

I have sent some emails back and forth with AI and they recommended I send my nucleus unit back for a replacement. They are going to investigate to see what they can find. I did tell them about my dealers response. I'm going to stay in touch with them as I continue to use the adapter to be sure we isolate the problem. AI did point out that noone should modify the nucleus unit as it is manufactured to have the proper ground in the harness.

I'll keep everyone posted on my findings. I'll have an hour drive back from the dealer tonight, so this should be a good test. My last 2 hour long trips have caused the lights to flash, so we'll see what happens.

I have been in touch with A.I. and they are looking into the problem. I?m going to drive out there next week and switch out my X2i for one out of a new batch to see if it helps. I don?t think that the problem is an update for the power train control module. A.I. has been installing these at there local H2 dealership on all year H2?s with no problems reported so far. And when I had my Ver.4 X2i I did not have this problem. I now have it with the newest Ver.5 X2i. I to have been asked to tell you guy not to mod the ground wire as this is not the fix. A.I. will be looking into a programming problem on there end as there could have been a bad batch sent out. As soon as A.I. has a fix you well all be taken care of. At this time this seems to be only an harmless intermittent problem. And should be fixed soon.

Is there any of us that don?t have this problem? What year H2?

And who is having this problem? What year H2? Problem observed?

I am veterinary student in Grenada, West Indies and I am getting a H2. However, I am idiot when it comes to cars and installing. For the Neucleus unit, when I purchase it from the website you listed (logjamelectronics) are there any other parts I will need? Also, I do not feel comfortable installing it myself although you made it look easy. Can I bring it to a Best Buy or Circuit City (or something like that) to have it installed? Also what else would I need to have have it installed in the center console or other location where it would be easily reached to bypass the slow scrolling speed? Where would you recommend installing it?

Hey guys just got one too and I would like to have all my movies on the Ipod to play on the rear DVD system is this a possibility and how do I do it? I already have RCA,s run for the x-box. please let me know!

If you have Nav, do you have XM? I had sirius installed right when I bought the H2 and XM never worked. I special ordered it with Nav, but Sirius plays through the XM channels on mine. Will this set up work on mine?

Buller? Anyone?

not that i'm slow on the tech market, but it was my intention to upgrade to a different head unit due to the fact that it doesn't play mp3's (wtf is that about)
but now that i learned about this thing, it seems that i may just have to go ipod after all
