Would that mean that I can buy a GPS navigation system in US and load the maps from Europe on it?
Were would I be able to find the DVD (maps)? And the navigation system?

I know that Hummer has some official dealers in Europe so I'm wondering what they are putting in as DVD navigation system.
I'm going to inform me on that.
I have a friend that has this one in his car. ( http://www.pioneer-eur.com/eur/product_detail.jsp?product_id=10319&taxonomy_id=25 -111)
And I think if I don't have a answer from Hummer Europe that I'm going to put this into my car.
I'm not so happy with this garmin GPS system because it's only the navigation system. Also if maps would change then we cannot update it (but I'm not sure of that)
thanks anyway. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
There is no Hummer Europe, atleast not yet. Craymans Corporation in Netherlands will be officially importing Hummers starting end of this year. So, I would not expect to get European Nav system before that. However if there are nav systems for other GM built trucks and SUVs there could be a nav system available. GM dealer in Finland didn't have one for me though. I also thought that if Hummer nav system could read (i don't know if it does) CDs the regional coding would not be a problem. If there is somebody that knows something about that please share the info!
Garmin can be updated vie USB any time, so if there are map updates you can update your navigation system.
Thanks!

I live in Italy... contact by e-mail Christian at Service@hummeritaly.com
He can help you. I think that there are some settings as for the cd-radio system (that in US use only .1 .3 .5 .7 .9 frequencies).

You may also want to look at a Panasonic. I had a flip down screen Panasonic in my Yukon and I bought it for the navigation. Imagine my surprise after I had it installed that Panasonic only made their nav discs for Europe only and no North American continent...

There are "dealers" in Europe, the UK one has told me hummer are returning the RADIO for UK frequencies but there is no offer of the DVD navigation OR the rear monitors and DVD system.
I need to do some sums here as i was told the DVD navigation is standard fit to the USA one i looked (in CA). I am in the UK.
To be honest though i like the rear screens (alot) but the DVD navigation would have been fitted for sale value, i have a feeling going down another route might be an idea, does the RADIO / DVD navigation unit do anything else to the truck (H2) or is it JUST that, a radio system?
I know there are rear controls for the radio as well, how do these work and integrate with the existing radio and DVD navigation set-up?
This is something in the UK since about 2003 that is designed by the manufacturer and cant be removed, you use it a like it, cant fit your own and if you do manage it (as there not DIN units) then you loose all the toys like "rear radio control" etc..

Hi
Yes i understand about the steps for the radio had this altered on my 49 state Goldwing bike...
Question is though does the system integrate as the H2 LUX has the rear radio controls so that must talk to a radio some how and a Pioneer unit surely wont work with these controls.
Also i was assured there are no "country specs" on the models other than alterations for things like lights and thats done locally in the country rather than by Hummer, other than the Radio, i was told by the UK Dealer thats hummer doing that and them NOT supplying the DVD navigation as it wont work...
Its mainly integration i am asking about, i am sure you can put what you like it but how will that effect the rear controls for the rear passengers.

Hi
I would like to ask a question here, i understand it has been established that when removing the stock receiver from the H2 the rear controls will not work...
a. Which H2 has the rear radio controls?
b. How do they work? (what do they allow you to do, remote control the front OR have differing sound in the back)?
c. I saw in CA a small frequencies selector in the centre box of a H2 with the rear screens fitted, does this have anything to do with the rear radio controls or is this the rear DVD screen feature for something?

Right , but try to mail to christian as say that you are a member of Hummer forum... sometimes they have solution that do not say normally... The only problem is that your H2 (like mine) is not "official europe" and the "official" dealer do not want to help you.

I think most of us are looking for a double din sized screen/receiver + nav that fits in the originals slot rathrer than a single din flip down receiver. At least I am.

Sorry W1N, I didn't see your other post. I was just stating that I had tried the DVD map from the C6. The dealer I went to, sells Hummers and C6 Z06 among others exotic vehicles. They were pretty nice to let me try the C6 DVD map in my H2 to see if it will work. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
No probs, I have been searching this area myself. And the only solution I came up with was the Kenwood receiver with nav unit. Grand total goes here for like $4000... what can you say

Hi,
I'm looking for a navigation system for my H2 03. The problem is that a navigation system of the 04 or 05 would work but the problem is that I cannot add the maps for Europe.
Or can I?
What other GPS system would you suggest?

Hi,
I'm from belgium. I did some calls to US and there they told me that there was a 'official' dealer in Holland. This is for the complete BeNeLux. ( http://www.kroymanshummerutrecht.nl/)
However the navigation system that Hummer is providing as standard for the US is not working here. They don't even have the EUROPE maps for it.
What the 'official' dealer suggested is to put a Kenwood or Pioneer system into it.
I would rather still love to have the standard navigation system from Hummer into mine.
