Hi all...
I just bought a 2007 H3X with factory nav (it has the single cd...so Monsoon I think as there is a Monsoon logo on the back L side on what I believe is the sub/amp). There is a aux jack on the shift console next to the change tray but for the life of me I cant figure out how to get my ipod selected!! I have read and tried a bunch but nada. I am pretty sure it must go through the XM receiver and have tried both xm1 and xm2 with the ipod plugged in, and also plugging it in after toggling to XM. When on the XM screen(s) the tune **** only changes between Ch "1" (preview) and Ch "0" which shows radio ID. Pressing any of the category tabs only causes a scan and reverts to preview (no current subscription), and the < and > arrows only toggle ch1/0. I even tried several aux cords and several Ipods so at this point I am pretty sure its the fool and not the tool...Help! What am I doing wrong?! TY!

 

Someone may have had some kind of adaptor and removed it. When you removed the radio did you see where the aux jack was leading to? Follow that wire and tell us what you find. If it is a dead end then they removed the adaptor and used it on another vehicle.

 

I havent torn into things yet...thought I'd see if I was doing something wrong first under the assumption it was one of the common modules. I will take a look this aft and see if I can confirm whats where. Going by other the stuff they left I'm doubting they pulled anything back out. Thx..will post my dash findings

 

OK...opened her up (holy crap that front bezel is TIGHT! thumbs in power ports was not enuf-had to pop shifter cowl to push from behind) and found out whats what. I was assuming a true interface module and overlooking the possible garbage method- it was a junk FM modulator! Didnt think it even worked at first until I traced out a remote switch (by the e-brake! wth?!) which I assume is because without it power would continuously feed the amp? It does work, but sounds like sh!+ and will most definitely be coming out! You buy a maxed out, loaded to the gills H3X with navigation and all and put in a FM modulator Ipod jack? Seriously?!
Well, my next tackle was a bluetooth and backup cam module of some sort(s) ...guess I look for something with a proper aux input solution too! That whole lockpick/pac/vcim/lux/nonlux/etc scene is just a mess of info to sort through though! Any insight for my particular H3 would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Tainter

 

I have used the PAC products with great success. I have an older PAC iPod adaptor and it has been in 4 different H3/H3Ts. I bought the iSimple ISGM575 and installed it in our other H3 and like it also! Works great with the Monsoon system.
