Then they wanted a fortune for it and all the wiring was different. So I just gave up 951 Driver 03-04-2005, 06:21 AM JP Customs has a factory unit with excellent instructions, works immediately on installation without dealer recoding.

Will it work with Sirius as well as XM? mwgasman 03-05-2005, 11:31 PM I have done the conversion. It was pretty easy. There is a 20+ page discussion on gm-trucks.com/forums that details the parts necessary and installation nicely. I paid $1245 for my radio NEW. You can get them on ebay for much less. They (GM) even makes a new TNR (touchscreen) model that will work in non-Bose equipped trucks. The factory XM reciever works perfectly. Looks and functions as if factory.

The aftermarket units are presently superior to GM's version. garyk211 03-06-2005, 10:12 AM Garmin 2610 GPS is far superior to any factory GPS unit I have seen. Prophet 03-06-2005, 09:46 PM The mapping system is not very good, poor detail, only showed major streets. The aftermarket units are presently superior to GM's version. Is this just a software issue from the CD-ROM database or is the problem more extensive? I was going to add the Premium TNR to my Yukon XL. -P. 2500HD04 03-06-2005, 11:16 PM Horizon navigation is coming out with a new unit at the end a of March. I liked my old unit but sold it waiting for better unit. I also have a Garmin 2620 which is the best I have found. I have found every street I have put into it. I do service in the twin cities of Mn and put in about 6-10 address a day. The unit is about a year old now. You can upgrade software via the internet wit a patch cord or send it back to garmin cadent45 03-29-2005, 01:20 AM I picked up a new factory touch screen navigation system (radio, antenna, & nav disk) with a factory CD changer on eBay for $1,535 delivered. I have a good friend that is a 15 year GM master tech that has already installed one in his truck and will have mine done by the end of next week. The only question is; what will I do with my factory 6 CD Changer / Radio? ):h | ||
