Im having the same issue. I wanted to get away from the seperate player that has been stuck to my windshield for the past 12 years. I think the only option is an aftermarket radio. Then you need to find one with a new backup camera and install it in the tailgate handle. I have decided to keep the seperate player for now. The better gm radio is about $900 from the dealer.

Just be happy you have the backup camera.

Nope...VIN specific radio capabilities are built into the BCM. There is a company here that will sell you a reprogrammed BCM, but it and the new head unit will be 2 grand easy.

sat radio option was an available option for 2016 WT and for base sierra, if they had the IOB radio.

Was not an option with the IO3 (4.2") radio.

So even the 8" in a base truck is no guarantee that it has sat radio.

U2K on code list in glovebox of a base truck with the IOB should verify it's presence.
