Excellent! Now I need to find a dealer that will flash my nav unit. Do the new HU units come with the CD and GPS antenna?

anyone get any prices from places that are willing to do the MOD? I have 2 people that have all the parts they need and are willing to drive down to my house and have me install it for them. I dont know what to charge them that would be fair. I figure 2-3 hours tops, for me to do the complete install, minus the theftlock removal that would be done by the dealer of course.

Before you helped me out, all the car audio places in my area didn't know how to do the mod and just told me that it can't be done unless it's done at the dealer. And all they tried to do was sell me bunch of aftermarker stuff. Anyway, the car audio places in my area charge $40-$50 to install a head unit. But this mod is little more involved than just installing a head unit, especially if you have to go through what we went through to install the remote cd changer. It's hard to set a price for something that not too many people know how to do. Sorry for not being any help.

 

Crookedpat, it's a pretty much a straight forward install but I too would be hesitant to touch a truck that is a week old, especially Sierra Denali.

I went out and and started to mess around with it. And then i discovered how EASY IT WAS! It semi works. After I trick the unit out of theftlock by unhooking it, there still is no sound. I'm assuming that the sound will work after the unit is flashed? All the wheel controls work EXCEPT for the volume and Onstar button. I'm hoping to go in tommarow and get it flashed. HOPE being the keyword.

My words of encouragment weren't needed after all. Good job, I think the sound should be working already though.

Great, if the sound isent working now, and its suppost to, whats wrong with it?!?!? Could it be the Theftlock? I hope it isent the AMP. I thought the AMP in an 04 SDenali would have been compatable.

well, it seems you have fell prey to the "AMP SITUATION". You need to upgrade your AMP. it has nothing to do with the head unit. This is the same thing i had to do in order to get mine functioning. There are a few steps that you need to take. First one being the AMP, you need to find a luxury AMP like the Denali's, and Cadillacs have. Mine was out of a denali, and its part # was 15199992. I will be more than happy to walk you through what you need to do to get it 100%. there are about 7 different model AMPS that will work. I am going to post a picture of what the AMP looks like at the end of this post. You can see the AMP by removing your storage compartment from your console (9 screws). The AMP is right below the storage compartment. Have a look and see if it looks the picture below. Then we can begin with the minor wiring changes that are needed and the antenna you will need. Good luck and let me know. If you want to talk one on one....PM me and i will give you my phone number.

Although it uses dvd map discs, I don't think that NAV will play dvd movies. I think you have to use a separate dvd player to view movies on monitors.

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
