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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
