Question: GPS radio

[IrwinReed]

I have a 2005 LLY with the Bose radio had the 6 disc CD changer XM radio, well
I was thinking of putting the GPS nav radio in there, will it fit, is the wiring harness the same, if now what will i need and to make it work? Thanks for the help.

PPE put in a Kenwood in our LBZ and everything works. It included a backup camera, and headrest DVD screens.

It does require some kind of harness.


As far as putting in the GM nav unit, Ben (duratothemax) did extension stuff with them.

OEM: Buy a nav radio for a 2003-2007 GM truck and install it. Have dealer program it for non-Y91 Bose, and it'll work. Simple replacement install. You'll lose CD capability when the nav disc is installed, so you may want to find the slave CD changer from a Denali and install it in the console (you cut the lower pocket out).

Aftermarket: You'll need adapters to hook the radio up to the OEM wiring, but once you figure those out, those radios work just fine.

Hmm really great I want to keep the factory look but look better, why would the cd player not work if I put the nav cd in? any one know? well I guess here I come ebay, or I guess if any one here wants to sell one of has one let me know!

nav radios only have one "slot"...when you're using the nav disc, you cant play cds. thats why you need a changer..so you can play cds while the nav disc is installed..

Well I guess we will see what happens I just went on Ebay and found one for a good price in new condition will need a Nav cd if any one has one to sell let me know, is the programing for the radio hard or is it somthing a dealer can only do?

Send me the link to the radio auction. Just want to make sure you're buying the right one.

Take it to the dealer and let them program it. They should know to program it to the non y91 pkg which is what you have
