I was at Hummer dealership and I asked what was the range for the rim size i can put for the wheels. The salesman responded 17 inch to 22 inch rims. So if I put 23 inch rims on that Hummer H2 and the axel or something under breaks, he can say because that there are 23 inch rims on the car it caused that problem, and since that Hummer does not recomend anything higher than 22 inch rims, then they would say its not covered in the warranty.
So to all you people that want to do cool stuff to your cars. Wait for the warranty to finish.

I think the DVD option is disabled (even while parked). I've got my first COMAND installed by Steve at the JFK airport parking lot almost 2 years ago and I was impressed by his skills and speed to do such work.
Thanks a lot !

If anyone has a European head unit stock, then the video will already be enabled (but it may not work while driving). This would require activation!

Anyway, do you know how much would it cost (the european HU)? Does he takes US headunits and charges a difference or should I throw it away?Thanks!

Mmm... now, I can't remember where it was !! Damn! I'm getting old !!! :p
The thing that I remember for sure was the speed, quality and knowledge that you put into that installation.
Anyway, are you doing this swaps (Euro comand / US comand) ? I'll be getting my new R171 by the end of this month and I would like to get the DVD play functionallity. If so, how much would that be?
Thanks!
