Hi all, I just purchased a new 2010 Silverado ext cab LTZ and I opted not to do the factory nav. Couldnt justify the $2200 option.......but i did find a bunch of them on ebay going for about $800 or so..........so i am curious to know what has to be done to swap out my regualr stereo system for the oem navigation units i can buy elsewhere. FYI...i have bose installed as well.

 

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks !

Can you do this without having the bose system? I wanted to do the same for my '10 Sierra, but on the GMC accessory website the only nav upgrades available are for vehicles with bose. Also does this still interface with the factory usb ipod control?

The USB control interface is part of the headunit itself, so you would have to obtain a navigation unit which also has the USB port. I have not seen any USB equipped units on ebay so far that do not require the Bose audio system.

What about the bluetooth, onstar and rear view mirror backup camera options?

 

The Bluetooth (which is part of the OnStar system) can be added as long as you have steering wheel audio controls. You don't have to have Bose for it, though. Also the rear view mirror backup camera can be added regardless of what onstar or audio system you have.... it's totally separate.

Anyone have a recommended vendor that supplies a kit for this upgrade? There are 100's on E-bay any recommendations?

Hi, first post, and yes another newbe.

just bought a 2009 Yukon Denali, got a good deal it was the last one before the 2010's. the down side is that it did not come with NAV, Backup camera, or Bluetooth integration. guess thats why it stayed on the showroom floor so long .

 

scince the wife takes it out to drop the kids, i really want the back up camera with the NAV in dash screen. I was told by the dealer not to mess with the electronics and put after market systems. so here is the thing: 1. I like the idea of the OEM system, but wouldnt want to shell out 2k, is there a source other than the dealer to get it cheaper?

2. Would an aftermarket system be a good investment. anything out there thats easy plug and play?

Say WHAT? A 2009 Yukon Denali didn't come with factory bluetooth?

 

Are you really sure about that? :cheers::banghead:

You can DEFINITELY get the NAV system cheaper from a non-dealer source. Check out eBay, there are kits on there all the time. Same with backup cameras.

 

Don't listen to the dealer about not installing aftermarket systems either, that's just their ploy to get you to buy the OEM setup from them directly. Thousands of these trucks have had aftermarket equipment installed in them without issue, you'll be fine if you choose to go that route instead.

I recently bought my 08 Sierra. In my GTO I had an AVIC D3 and really enjoyed it so I couldn't go 1 week without ordering something for the Sierra... I decided I wanted a more "factory look" then I could get with the Pioneer system... so I went with a ROSEN unit off ebay. I'm really enjoying it and the system just plugged right in... the only annoyance was trying to get the wires to fit. However, the ROSEN system software does not even come close to the pioneer... it kind of just seems coded together just to make it "work" but it's still nice to have and I've heard it's way better then going with the "stock" navigation system....

      Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Okay boys and girls I put a bottle of this in Dizzy the oil burning guineapig after a tank between the coil and plug service of the #3 hole and near the end of the first R&P 5W30 attempt. As a note I did a two R&P oil changes back in October of 2025 with little effect. Granted they were 1K mile a shot oil changes so.... Then followed by fourteen  1K mile changes of Mobil 1 Euro 5W30 FS. Also ineffective.    Anyone who has followed the adventures of Dizzy may remember that to put the oil on the full mark of the published nominal 5 quart change I withhold about a cup of oil. That over the last 50K miles the P0420 light has been a frequent flyer, sometimes three of four a day. And that even on 93 octane fuel she registers some KR even in moderate conditions on favorable days on slight inclines. Lastly when giving her a kick in the pants, something done about once a week, she looks like a diesel with the pump turned up. 😬   After one bottle and over the last 500 miles of a 3K mile OCI, of the first oil change I dropped the nastiest looking oil ever in her history. That's saying something as  you will recall I have used AutoRx, HP EC30/40 and a few other harsh solvents in her before including the GM top soak twice. This was syrup. Black stinky, inky syrup but the filter wasn't all that bad.    On the second fill I had to use the entire 5 quarts to reach the full mark. That was unexpected! The ignition KR is completely gone! Even at 99% engine load. MAP is much lower. Level road is now 9.8 instead of 12.5. Fuel economy is remarkably higher and for the first time since her earliest days she will spin to 6500, more than a thousand higher with out laying down dead. Yes, the coil and plug had something to do with that but remember the first 2500 miles after that repair on the first change it was same ole same ole Dizzy. Seems we have top rings that are somewhat functional again. P0420 code only comes on now if run in town for more than an hour of stop and go. On the open road it goes weeks without a incident. Perhaps it is cleaning the cat on the pass through?  Fuel Trims have improved as well. Nothing not to like.    To early to say about oil economy but the changes to date in the operational aspect is remarkable. I can't think of a worse case than Dizzy.... It's already paid for itself in a few tanks of fuel with the mpg improvement.    @OnTheReel, I'd say if the Jeep didn't respond perhaps there wasn't an issue to respond to.    I've run the Red Line SI-1, AMSOIL fuel cleaner, GUMOUT and Techron all in this SUV without any such results. Color me impressed. I'll be running out my supplies of the list mentioned and moving on to the Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Homer1959 · Posted

      Hey Chuck !!Thanks for the all the info I'm an old fart and I have everything I need for the oil change at home,minus flexibility .... and I’ve been doing my own oil changes for 40 years. I just didn’t want to end up without a crush washer or with the wrong one in my stash and have to walk to the auto parts store, lol. I climbed under the truck to check the location, and man, it’s going to be the easiest oil change and filter swap in the last 40 years—right up there with my 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4. No mess, nothing to drip on—just perfect. I’ve got one more free oil change to use, and then that’s it with the dealership!

      2027 3.0l - ordered

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think this subforum was created for the new generation pickup trucks (2027-) with the 3.0 but I don't think it's a big deal either way. There are probably 2027 model-year specific changes for the SUV's too.   I was just curious if you had issues with your 2025 3.0. I'm still under 10k miles on mine and fingers crossed I don't have thrust bearing issues. I'm guessing not, since you're willing to buy another one! It's a good engine minus one or two manufacturing whoopsies.
