If the Yukon is the same as the Sierra, then the cut off for the emblem and the change in the headlight wiring connect happened in 2019. For me, I have a 2018 Sierra and I ordered the older connectors, seals, pins and cut the old connector off the wiring harness that came with the emblem and started putting the GT 280 connectors on it. Also had to cut new slots in the grille where the old emblem was to attach the new emblem. Still working on it and a family emergency stopped me midway through but I’ll pass it on on what else needed to be done. Crossing fingers!

Just sent you an email.

NM. I see the reason why. I measured my ‘18 and the existing emblem comes in at 17” wide. If this emblem is 18 1/2” wide, I don’t know how that is going to fit the existing grill. I need to bring my tape in to a dealer and do some measuring.

So is the reason why it might not work on an ‘18 might be the plug and not the mounting? I’ll have to measure. Then figure out the wiring.

Took it back and they said that the data cable going to the amp came loose. It’s working now.

I ended up doing the same Kenwood except I used an iDatalink Maestro RR2 that kept just about every setting I had. I put in the HDMI cable as well as the USB and had them do the bypass and now we can watch anything while rolling. Only recently that I had a problem with Parking Assist. It was working better than the original. There were distances on the screen along with the beeps. But last weekend, it went off. Scmar Schmoys (you know who I'm talking about) looked at it and they're going to reinstall the old radio, turn it back on, and but my new radio back in. I'll find out tomorrow.

Thanks Steve. I went to the dealership and they plugged in their "magic wand" and there were no errors. I have a good relationship with the Service Advisor so no charge. He suggested I go back to the radio installer yesterday and after a couple of hours and a call to iDataLink tech support , they suggested I bring back the OEM radio so that they can reinstall, turn the Parking Assist back on, then put my new Kenwood radio and iDataLink Maestro RR2 back in. My issue now, after all this is done, is to find out why it shut off last weekend and why I'll need to keep the OEM Radio for as long as I have my Kenwood.

Continuing on with this discussion. I have a 2018 Sierra 2500HD and the parking assist stopped working last weekend. I had the radio replaced 4 weeks ago and both front and back sensors was working fine until recently. I checked the fuses (#29 on the left inside fuse box and #27 in the right inside fuse box) and they're both looking ok. Heading to the dealership on Monday to have them look. Hopefully it has nothing to do with the radio install but we'll see. I may pull the battery cable today and let it sit for 30 min as others have tried. I'll post when I hear back.

Has anyone tried or know of replacing the 8” with something bigger? I have a 2018 Sierra 2500HD Denali. I’m just talking about the screen only, retaining everything in the original screen’s capabilities. I see entire radio replacements and with every choice out there, you loose functionality of something. I’ve looked at Alpine, Pioneer, Phoenix, Linkswell, Stinger, MWI, Infotainment, iPad etc and with every one of them, you always loose something. All I want is to replace the screen with something bigger.
