Delphi Targets GM SUV Owners With Premium Navigation

 

Advanced touch-screen system combines original equipment features with aftermarket value to address underserved consumer market

 

TROY, Mich., June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Delphi introduces the Delphi TNR800 (Touch Screen Navigation Radio) to the consumer market, combining advanced DVD-based navigation with AM/FM/CD without giving up the convenience, control and functionality of other connected accessories.

 

The Delphi TNR800 is uniquely designed for seamless integration and functionality in most 2003-2006 GM light trucks and SUVs including the Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, Trailblazer, Avalanche, Silverado; Hummer H2; GMC Envoy, Yukon, Denali; Buick Rainier; and, Cadillac Escalade. Collectively, these North American vehicles are the best selling in their class, but less than 10 percent were equipped with factory navigation.

 

The Delphi TNR800 has nearly all the advantages of the original equipment navigation system for these vehicles, including a large, 6.5" easy-to-read touch-screen display that makes inputting destinations or points of interest a simple task. Plus, it provides intelligent map and voice-prompt navigation cues to effortlessly help drivers and passengers get from point A to point B. Unlike conventional aftermarket navigation systems, the TNR800 retains the control and functionality of any installed original equipment accessories like XM Satellite Radio, On-Star, DVD entertainment and CD changer.

 

In fact, drivers can control key entertainment functions of the TNR800 through the steering wheel controls they have come to rely on for both safety and convenience. And, because of its vehicle-specific design, the TNR800 can harness speed information, available through the vehicle's computer system, to more accurately navigate a driver through urban environments where large buildings and bridges could obstruct the Global Positioning System satellites.

 

"Vehicle navigation systems have quickly become an everyday necessity for many consumers," said Joe Damato, Director of Consumer Electronics for Delphi Product and Service Solutions. "Delphi's new TNR800 offers these GM owners the product they have been asking for -- delivering the very best navigation performance without the typical hassles of integrating devices that alter their vehicle interior or limit the control and functionality of important factory-installed options."

 

The system uses an on-board computer that interacts with the Global Positioning System, vehicle sensors and a DVD map database to help guide travelers using voice prompts to their destination. Plus, it helps pinpoint locations along the way and re-maps directions should a turn be missed. Used as a "personal travel assistant," it can help minimize travel time, make travel more convenient and increase driver and passenger peace of mind.

 

In fact, in a recent J.D. Power and Associates' 2005 Navigation Usage and Satisfaction Study, consumers rated several vehicles equipped with Delphi's original equipment navigation system consistently higher than average in the areas of information screen ratings and overall appearance.

 

The TNR800 comes with single DVD-ROM containing "Navteq's" popular and well-respected map database for both the US and Canada, enabling the system to provide a large network of turn-by-turn routable roads. The disc also provides more than 11 million POIs (points of interest) and can be sorted into different categories to make finding the nearest gas station, ATM or restaurant quick and simple.

 

The TNR800 is offered in three kit configurations. The luxury kit (NA- 40005) supports all 2003-2006 Cadillac Escalade and GMC Denali. The non- luxury kit (NA-40010) supports 2003-2006 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche, Silverado; Hummer H2; GMC, Sierra and Yukon. An additional non-luxury third kit (NA-40001) was designed to meet the needs of the 2003-2007 GMC Envoy, Chevy Trailblazer, and Buick Rainer. Each kit comes with all needed components for quick and clean installation including the Navigation Radio, GPS antenna, DVD maps (US and Canada), vehicle speed sensor (VSS) wire and splice kit, owner's manual and installation guide.

 

"Mobile electronics professionals will delight over how easy and fast the TNR800 will install in these vehicles," said Adiel Avelar, Navigation Business Line Manager. "All existing mounting hardware and wiring connections are the same used for the factory-installed radio and do not require special mounting kits, trim plates or expensive and unreliable translation boxes for the vehicle bus to maintain important features and control of factory accessories."

 

The TNR800 offers a two year parts and labor warranty and will have a Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $1,999 when it debuts at select retail stores later this month in the US and Canada. For more information about the TNR800 or its authorized distributors, please either call 877-667- 8700 or visit http://www.shopdelphi.com/TNR800 .

wow....its taken Delphi THIS long to do something that people have been doing since the INR's were first offered in the 03 Escalades????

 

...its nothing more than a 05/06 OEM Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade/Denali touchscreen nav radio, just packaged in a kit. (so no mp3 capability) Delphi probably saw that so many people were retrofitting them into Silverados/Sierras and other vehicles that didnt come with the navs from the factory that they said "hey, we'll slap a Delphi badge on the front of the OEM GM nav units, and call it something new and totally different and offer it as a kit!! People will go nuts and it will sell like hot cakes!!!"

 

Ill take my 600 dollar Escalade lux nav unit (that I bought on ebay) any day :D

I just did this install in my 2006 Sierra last weekend. The TNR800 is very easy to install and works awesome. I have Onstar, factory XM, and also added the remote 6 disc changer. Everything works like it should. You pay more than an OEM NAV on EBay but you get a full 2 year warranty and you don't have to worry about reprogramming the theftlock. I couldn't find a local dealer who would remove the theftlock on a used NAV so I was forced into buying new. I have $1459 into the NAV unit and $213 into the remote changer w/harness. This was definately a worth-while upgrade.

I just got the flyer for this Friday, and through Delphi it's $1499 installed! With the two year warranty! Now if I can talk my wife into "needing" this as much as I do.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By KARNUT · Posted

      My nephews 7.3 got noisy right around 100K miles. While replacing the engine he drove his old 6.0 Chevy that had over 200K miles on it. It an old reliable backup. I haven’t been around the old shop lately. I’m curious to find out if there using the new GM heavy duty gas.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I don't know if you or anyone enjoys it or not but, why not share it. It's GM "truck" related and we're in the right place to discuss that 😉 I'm also working on some creative writing skills, I'm not quitting my day job to pursue that, either!   As I said, I've hit a wall because I'm not making any progress, and the progress is the fun part for me.   The idler pulley and EGR valve came in. Against better judgement, I went out there last night and put both of them in. I was able to get a nut on the back of the bolt on the side with the broken flange. There's enough flange still there that I can get that side of the EGR to snug down. It's not perfect, it's not "right", but this is the fix I have for now. If I decide to keep the rig, I talked to a guy locally who will sell me a complete intake for $100. If it's my truck, a broken flange like that would bug me too much. Yes, I'm crazy. But I embrace it.   Pulley on, EGR installed, started the truck. Great...still have a pulley squeaking like mad. That was the first disappointment. I thought I had pinpointed the problem. Before I replaced it, I sprayed the back of that pulley with PTFE and it would shut up for about 30 seconds. Is the squeak actually the belt? I'm frustrated.   SO then I decided why not disappoint myself twice, so I took it for a spin and sure enough, the CEL set for P0401 insufficient EGR flow again.   I had some extra time, so when I arrived home, I decided to ask AI about my EGR code. We had an interesting conversation.   I asked how to tell if my MAP sensor is bad and if that could be setting an EGR code since a bad MAP may not be sensing the requisite drop in manifold pressure when the EGR activates. I gave it the MAP value at idle and it told me to blip the throttle hard and watch the MAP reading. It said no, the values appear normal and it's reactive to pressure changes, and then instructed me to test voltage at the harness. I don't think it's the MAP sensor. Interesting, though, I gave it MAP reading values in inHg, and it thought I was using PSI, so I had to correct it. AI is a very dangerous tool if you aren't treating it like the machine that it is.   Then it walked me through testing the EGR and harness. It took me down an interesting path. It was referencing a gray wire and a white wire so I told it I can't tell the difference on my harness because it's dirty and old and both could be white or gray, I'm not sure. So it gave me a more accurate description of the ABCDE pins on the connector and started referencing pins instead of colors. Helpful.   The EGR harness has 12v power, and it also has 5v reference power from the PCM. What I'm unclear on is there's a ground wire and I thought AI had said that one of my tests revealed the ground in the harness was likely bad and it instructed me to wire a test ground. I got distracted and navigated away from the AI conversation, and when I went back and asked for clarification it said I must have misunderstood. (how rude- next time I'm saving the conversation!)   But I think it was onto something. I recall NOT getting 12v when I tested the power wire to the ground wire, but I did when I tested the power wire, grounding the voltmeter to the engine block. AI said no, the ground wire is actually for the PCM, that's how it commands the EGR on by grounding it and so the circuit should be open with the key on (i.e. EGR off). But I think there's also a static/overall ground that should always be grounded, and if that's bad, then the EGR isn't activating when the PCM commands it on, and thus setting the code.   There's a bunch of other tests it suggested, back-probing with the EGR plugged in and engine running. I need to get some time to focus, and not just tinkering after a long day.

      the 7.3 lifter issue is real, not few and far between.  my 6.6 gas does not use oil.  the 7.3 with 4.30 gears pulled hills better and felt better off the line. the 6.6 gets the job done though. mpg sucks

      Slate Electric Truck

      By Donstar · Posted

      I am a huge fan of the Slate.  (SUV for her, base pickup for me.)  Unfortunately, there are no plans to sell in Canada but maybe this will change.  I think if/when Ford offered a high range. EV Maverick, it would be my first choice.
