Nagigation System Driving Me Nuts

[jims04ss]

I've been to 2 dealers and a Delco repair facility and no one knows whats going on. I bought a Nav head 15229287 and a bose lux amp off ebay. I changed the amp wiring as per directions in these posts. According to the Delco repair facility the Nav head is for the UQ5 sound system and the nav head has to be reprogramed to be compatable with the bose lux but he cant do it because the head unit doesn't recognize my vin. He said I had to put it in a vehicle with the UQ% system and change the setting to the lux setting then it will work. The sound system in my 04 Silverado SS is a UQ7 with a bose amp 15054671. Does any of this make sense ? Is there a place I can send this unit to make it work with the lux, can I use the UQ7 amp in my truck, do I need to buy a different amp, or should I buy a diferent Nav head? Any help would keep me from jumping off a bridge. Thanks

i am not an expert but i think the head unit you have is the non-lux version. according to this post and a few others i saw.

i wonder if your stock amp will work with this set up since it is non-lux?

Thanks for the links. It is a non lux. I'm going to sell it on ebay and get a lux.
