Question about stock nav. unit in '11 sierra

Dave4x4 · February 6, 2012

I have the stock bose system navigation in my sierra but it doesn't have the dvd, or the dolby digital tags in the bottom corners. I want to do get a lock pick but not sure if it is compatible. Is there different ones or does it just not come from the factory anymore with those or possible to remove them? Is there a way to tell? I mean it uses the dvd based gps map discs from gm so I would figure it was the same but would like some sort of confirmation.

You can do a LockPick, no problem. We've had great luck with the GMX-550, but some folks find it a little hard to use if you don't use it every day.

It allows you to use the rear camera in motion and also allows you to add an iPod/iPhone and use the "iPod out" feature so you can navigate fthe iPod from the SW controls - it's pretty cool.

Here's a couple videos showing the unit in an '11 Escalade (essentially the same as the Sierra, but a much nicer screen):
