2002 Yukon Denali NAV Question

[mfarina]

Wondering of I can get a Little help here

 

From what I have read on the Forum Getting a Factory Nav for a 2002 Yukon Denali is close to impossible

 

So I have decided to look into Alternative routes

 

I like the Factory GM NAV Model because it sits flush inside the dash ....

 

Does anyone know of a alternaltive NAV That is Mounted the same way?

... or had a good experience with a NAV that Pops up for a 02 Yukon

 

Sounds like the size of the Opening for the unit is important

 

Alpine is my 1st choice but I wanted to ask

 

Any help would be great

I don't know about adding stock NAV, but you might take a look at this link. It looks like Eclipse makes In Dash NAV that fills the entire Double-DIN slot in the dash...but you might want to check on that to be sure. It sure looks like these are not fold out screens, but built-in, Double-DIN size units.

Hope this helps.

We do install aftermarket navs in that dash that go pretty flush, but the job is not friendly. The Eclipse navs above don't fit exactly, some cutting is required but do look ok if done correctly. The navs shown in the link are double din, whereas your dash is a 1.5 din size. I don't care for flip out screens, i think they look s**tty and the excess moving parts means more to go wrong.

I added a GM factory 05 touch screen to my 03 tahoe, no problems and there are a ton on ebay. If you yukon has th y91 option it should be a simple job. If not it still is not that bad.

Rstang, that was awfully nice of you.. but he has the older 1.5 DIN stereos and the GM NAV is double din. The full size GM trucks/suvs used 1.5 DIN radios up until 2002. Like this one:

 

Unfortunately the GM NAV radio will not 1.) fit into the 1.5 DIN space, 2.) communicate with the vehicles data system (because the full size GM's switched to class 2 data bus 2003), and 3.) wont even have the proper connections.

 

Im not saying the 1.5 DIN radios are bad - I had one in my old 2000 Envoy! it was nice. However, the older GM's (pre 2003) - in this case full size GM SUV's/trucks- dont have the class 2 data bus.

 

Now the Envoy/Trailblazer/Bravada had the class 2 data bus since inception in 2002. Some of GM's cars had the class 2 data bus since 2000. Just the full size got the shaft.

 

I was able to successfully (and very easily) upgrade the stereo in my 2002 Envoy to the GM NAV LUX unit. It came from the factory with the in dash 6 disc Bose stereo.

My install:

 

In the meantime Mfarina, keep checking out the forums. There are members out there who opted for aftermarket NAV's and some of them I've seen are what you are looking for (closer to the OEM look). Either that or trade up that ol' 2002 and get a 2003! lol
