nav radion into base 03 1500HD

[carcrafter22]

I have a 2003 chevy 1500HD with the base sound system

(no bose) and factory in dash cd player I was wondering if there is a factory nav radio that i could just slip in i have read alot about it on this site and most say you have to have bose but I have heard of a few people that didnt use the bose and I saw a factory unit on ebay the other day that said you didnt have to have the y91 option (i think thats it anyway) but didnt bid because i wasnt sure if it would work please educate me i have no clue about this and do not want an aftermarket unit but i also do not want to have to install the bose amp and 6 disc changer any and all help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance

PS: since the factory HU uses a cd for navigation does that mean that you cant play music cds while you use the navigation

No factory nav radio will work properly in your truck without Bose.

 

And your right about not being able to play music cd's while using the navigation. The only way around that is to get a cd changer.

I believe you can use the factory nav unit out of a Buick Rendevous if you don't have Bose. The Rendevous uses JBL (instead of Bose) for their "high end" audio option. Take my advice with a grain of salt here, as I've never done a TNR install without Bose myself.

 

I know for a fact that it is POSSIBLE one way or another to do this though, as JPCustoms.com offers non-Bose factory navs. I believe they are using Rendevous units, but I don't know this for a fact.

endo is right, you can use a nav out of a Rendevous. Do a search for the part number.
