My H2 Has Arrived!

[Hart1]

As some may remember, I was debating to buy the H3, and went H2. Well, it arrived at the Dealer today. White, Adventure, Nav, Wheel in back, U detachable steps, Sun Roof, Off road Brush Guard lights, Air compressor in the back, sweet. My Truck will be ready to take delivery this Monday.

I was surprised that the CD changer does not ship when you order the Nav...? Can I still buy one from Hummer, or do I go after Market?

Also, there is a Hummer Meet in Pioneer Town (Near Palm Springs, CA) this Saturday according to Mark Christopher Hummer. Anyone attending?

Congrats on your purchase. Too bad about the color. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

The best way to add a CD Changer to your H2 is using this kit:

CONGRATS! I agree, too bad about the non-color... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Congrats on the new H2! You are going to love it!
Yes to the Pioneer Town run, except that I am going Sunday. Did you buy yours from Bill Smith? He's a great guy. They had this same Hummer Happening last year and it was a lot of fun. You should have a great time.

[LasVegas]

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your H2 purchase. Pay no attention to these guys on color. They're just harrassing a newbie. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Cartridge CD under the rear seat drivers side. Get an extra cartridge so you always have one loaded. Although if you got XM, you'll rarely use the CD.

Congratulations on your new H2! Having had mine all of 1 month and 1 day, I can tell you the thrill just doesn't wear off. . .

Klaus, in regard to the link to the CD changer from discount car stereo...can you confirm that it can be used with the 05 Navi radio? Thanks

[Klaus]

Dan,

I believe LasVegas has one in his truck (see above).

Also, this is from the description of the changer:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">* Supports CD playback in 2005 Hummer with Navigation

*All new 2005 Hummers with Navigation, limit your ability to listed to music and operate NAV at the same time, Our SCD-G7i 6-disc CD Changer allows Hummer Owners to listen to CD and Navigate at the same time. GM does not have a factory solution.

Congrats on the purchase, I assume you went to Mark Christopher instaed of Jessup! Jessup is where i service my truck when Im home, and t hey are horrible. I wouldn't buy a HUMMER hat from those guys, let alone a rig.....welcome!!!

[lexpro]

Klaus and Jonahs ,,,thanks for the info!

[H2 Bill]

Hey Hart1, did you go to the HH on Saturday? How was it? Sunday's was really fun.

[Hart1]

I am hopefully getting the Hummer today! Will know by 12:00. The U steps were not in yet....

I bought the Hummer from Jessup Hummer, the Sales Man who saved the day was Joey "Tagg" he got me the GMAC financing at the monthly payment I wanted. It was Brain at MC who gave me the heads up on the Hummer event in PT.

H2Bill, how was the event....I did not go since I did not have my Hummer


Thanks for the info on the CD changer, Las Vegas, do you own a installation shop? If so, would you like to install the CD Changer system? The Back way to LV is only 3 hours from my house in Yucca Valley.

Thanks all for the welcome!

[AnnuityPro]

Just bought my 05 also, Nav, Lux, Air, Roof. White/Ebony, paid $55,036 after rebates, with 2 years free XM. Is that a good price?

[H2 Bill]

It was really fun, a bit harder than last years event at the same place. This year we did some extra rock crawling in the riverbed. I understand that on Saturdays run someone laid theirs over on it's side.

[Hart1]

Bill, next time I am there!

Well, Joe called and my Hummer is ready for pick up Tuesday @ 12:00 pm.......

I was given the owner's manuel when I singed the papers, so I am ready....

[4churchill]

Tagg once tried to rip my father off on an Escalade, I only will deal with Andy Jessup Jr. when I go there. I'm amazed how many vehicles they can sell with their poor attitude.

Where are you going to order? JP Customs has the complete kit. JP Customs (http://www.jpcustoms.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=16649&cat=&page=) Talk to Jason there. Nice people.

[4churchill]

Hart, make sure to introduce yourself to Dennis Silvers. He is the service director. I use Mark as my service writer, but I always go over everything with Dennis, as I've had some serious issues with the service department. Feel free to tell him Phil Sachs (with the odometer problem in the HUMMER)told you to talk to him. He is the one redeeming aspect of the dealership......we'll have to get out and play at PGA West next time I'm down!

[Hart1]

Thanks LV. I really do not have the skills to install this kind of stuff...would be happy to pay you $$ to get it done by someone who cares for the Hummer like you do.

If you think you would, let me know how to make a date and time with you (any time that would work for you) and I am there!

I will call Jason this afternoon....

Thanks!

[Hart1]

Thanks 4Churchill! Give me a heads up when you are in town....lunch will be on me!

(Wow! picked up my Hummer yesterday, it is sooo sweet to drive. Its truly the cat's ass!)

If you don't have it and want it now's the time to do it because we have to tear most of the dash out. You don't want to do it twice. Jason has the XM tuner also. And if you order XM, talk to me about the antenna option.

[Hart1]

I do have XM, I do not have the CD changer. Thanks LV!

[4churchill]

Hart was supposed to be coming in this weekend, but I'm not. Will be there weekend of May 7 for a wedding and to see the folks. Hopefully we can get together...DO you live in PD? I was at PGA West then I moved up highway 74 past Bighorn to Pinyon Crest. Its 10 degrees cooler, and I'm still only 15 min from El Paseo. Do you golf? I used to work at Lumpy's through high school. I am also still in the golf biz at PGA West. We have a tour trailer in the parking lot of the Stadium Course, and we build custom clubs.

[Hart1]

No, I work in PD and live in Yucca Valley. Sorry, I don't Golf...However I would be happy to drive the golf cart and provide Cigars and drinks while playing!

[H2 Bill]

Hart, where do you work in PD? I own a business here. I have a son that lives in YV too.

[4churchill]

H2 what do you own in PD? Both of my parents are at Eisenhower in Rancho Mirage, My mom is the head of something for the Lucy Curci cancer center, and my dad is a Doc with his office at Eisenhower.

[Hart1]

I work for the City of Palm Desert. Walk into any part of City Hall and ask for Hart, and you will be directed to my office.

[H2 Bill]

One of my businesses is right next to the city yard on Velie off of Cook!

[4churchill]

Bill what do you own?

[H2 Bill]

4 Seasons Swimwear, store on El Paseo and one at the Lodge in RM and we have a catalog division on Velie.

[Hart1]

First place I drove my new Hummer to was El Paseo, I love that street.....

[H2 Bill]

We have been there 32 yrs.
