Been awhile since I have been around.
Starting to focus on my Alpha (2010 H3).
Crazy, the Nav radio, which was replaced under warranty in 2014, the freaking knobs are melting. Go to turn them and the skin comes off in your hand.
Any way, just changed a radio in one of my other cars and so desperately want to have CarPlay in the H3.
Issues I am hearing:
- GM made these 1.5 Din as opposed to the standard 1 or 2, so that means cutting
- XM would have to have a new antenna, etc. as opposed to what I have in the car (we use XM)
- Door chimes come through the radio (is this true?)
- Would lose the hands free aspect of H3 (which we also have a dedicated number for the H3).
Have a back up camera, but that is shown through the rear view mirror.
Any advice?
Thanks.
