I've been doing a lot of reading on this board now, but I just can't seem to find the answer to my question.

 

I have a 2003 Z71 Silverado LT Ext. Cab, Bose package, 6 disc changer, Onstar, but no XM satellite radio.

 

What I want to do is get rid of the 6 disc changer for a factory NAV unit. Now I've read that I need to get the lux bose amp for it to work correctly. I am also planning on doing an Metra/Axxess ipod install, and I also have a 12" infinity sub and 1000W kenwood amp being installed as well.

 

If I get the factory NAV unit, will the artist and song title display on the NAV unit even though I don't have XM? What will I need parts wise to install the amp to the factory NAV unit?

 

Thanks in advance

You don't have to change to the lux amp if you get a non-lux navigation unit.

 

I have no idea on the Ipod, sorry.

 

 

 

 

Do you have the part number for the non-lux navigation unit? Thanks

 

Nevermind, found it!

Ok, now I'm in a pickle.

 

It appears to be that the Metra/Axxess Ipod interface requires the XM satellite hookup for the artist and song title to be displayed. The non-lux nav does not have XM built in, whereas the lux nav does, correct? So in this case I will have to get the Lux and the lux amp. If I have the Metra/Axxess interface hooked up through the XM, then I can still have a 6 disc changer as well? Can anyone verify this for me? Is there a dvd player that reads mp3's that I could install in it's place? Has anyone done this? I've tried reading through Linda's thread, but after 35 pages of part numbers and wiring diagrams, I am quite confused. I am about ready to give up.

 

Is there anywhere that has part numbers and descriptions for the parts required for this swap? I'm basically asking someone to do the legwork for me :cheers:

 

If there is anyone willing to help me figure this all out, and is willing to donate a few minutes of their time, I'd be extremely grateful.

 

To clarify, what I would like in the end is:

 

LUX Nav - anyone know the current P/N's?

LUX Amp - again, P/N's

Metra/Axxess GMIP-01 Ipod hookup

6 disc changer or DVD mp3 player

Install amp and subwoofer (probably a PAC?)

 

 

I am willing to skip the 6 disc changer if it means my ipod just won't work with it.

 

 

I am totally clueless and I'm getting to the point where i will just drive around in my truck with my ipod and my headphones and a map.

you dont need a lux amp, every GM truck radio 03+ is capable of supporting XM, the metra device just emulates that.

The Dice ipod adapter supports text on the radio www.diceelectronics.com

you can still have a cd changer aswell that works right along with the nav screen and ipod.

but, i dont see a piont of having a dvd mp3 player, if you have the ipod

so, you just want a non-lux TNR and an OEM class 2 cd changer plus Ipod interface, and the PAC OEM-1 i think it is for the audio preouts.

Ok, thats what I need to know. I was just thinking of a dvd mp3 player for the girlfriend, but I think she'll be happier with a 6 disc changer. Is the OEM class 2 changer the indash or under the seat style? Thanks a lot!

I have the Metra/Axxess Ipod interface and my hu displays the artist and song information. And I have no XM hookup.

Thanks! How difficult is the install on the Metra?

 

 

 

 

 

Well I have decided completely against getting the factory head unit now. By the time I get the factory NAV, JL Clean Sweep, Metra/Axxess hookup, i could just go buy a

IVA-W200. It will give me the preouts I need for my subs, has the high speed ipod connection, so I think its going to suit my needs much better.Can somebody tell me if taking the factory head unit out is going to mess up any little things, like door chimes etc.? What will I need to keep these?

 

Also, can someone recommend a good alarm? Any tips on theft proofing your stereo?

I may be wrong but I pretty sure that you'll lose things like chimes, onstar, etc. if you replace factory HU with an aftermarket unit. You'll need to buy an adapters to get the chimes and onstar to work with the Alpine unit. I do believe that PAC audio makes such adapters.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      My office is slowly filling with Blazer parts. Getting ready to do the big bang of repairs. Intake (second time), water pump, radiator, hoses, and I'm going to re-seal the timing cover where someone went hog wild with silicone. Might as well, because I don't think that's done right.   There's a local tow yard that I didn't realize also has quite the inventory of junk vehicles. This is an old school junkyard. No waivers. Cash only, you were never here if anyone asks. Don't piss off the owner, or you'll end up in the back of one of those cars, headed for the shredder. And if you see something, don't snitch. Cars stacked double high, wasps nests, trip hazards and junk everywhere. I found a few little odds/ends for my Blazer. The $20 I spent was worth the experience alone. But I was never there. What yard?   I officially love/hate this truck. It's so out of my wheelhouse, roughest vehicle I've ever owned. Every. single. repair. -is so hard-fought, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Currently in a hate phase, and kind of wish I was closer to sending it down the road with a lucky new owner, to be honest. Preparing for the day when I tear into this thing...lots of pre-funk with Ibuprofen.   Rock Auto sent me a bad reman rear wiper motor. It was a bear to install. The tailgate in these things has about eleventy-billion fastners and pieces and things that need to be uninstalled/moved just to access the shoddy rear wiper motor. The casing on mine was cracked clean through, btw. Nice, GM, nice. SO I got this new motor installed, hit the switch, I see it wig-wag (without the arm installed) and think I'm golden. Reassemble everything. With the wiper arm installed I gave it one final test. Time to clean up and take the other half out to dinner, collect a paycheck, right?   Nope. I hear the plastic worm gear stripping as the arm hung up. Just like my broken motor. Weak/old and shredding itself internally. I can assist the arm and the range of motion is normal, and it parks correctly. It just doesn't have the poop to actually sweep the arm with a blade on it. Oh, hell. Turned the key off and shut the shop door behind me. I get to do that over again, too.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.
