After all the reading here and the confusion of which navigation unit will work with what type of systems I have found a great alternative I think. A company named Original Entertainment Media (OEM) www.oeradio.com is offering a navigation unit that looks factory. :sigh: The unit features bluetooth, dvd playback, a SD card slot, reverse camera input, RF remote control, the option to add a second screen that others can view while you still listen to the radio. I have ordered one and expect to get it in the middle of next week. I purchased it from Car Electronics World www.carelectronicsworld.com/GM-5301N.aspx for $999.99. Which I think is a good price for all the features you get and do not need any additional cables, lock boxes, or interfaces.

 

The sales rep answered all my questions easily. This unit is full plug and play. It will bolt up just like the original radio, the factory wire harness will plug directly into the back with no adapters or cutting of the wire. You will retain all the fetures of the factory system like chimes and onstar.

 

I will let you know more once I get it. :dunno:

I looked into those. They have not been out too long. Crutchfield used to carry the one for the new 07-08's, but it's discontinued on their Web site. Don't know why.

Actually the one that Crutchfield discontinued was an older model (5100). This one would only work on vehicles up to 2006 / 2007 based on if that model had a redesign. Crutchfield says they plan on carrying the new models but do not know when they will start stocking them.

 

Yes these are new but the company has been around for at least ten years and the reviews I read say they are known for quality noy quanity. I also read that they are aiming more toward dealers than retailers. So that you can get a better radio when you buy that new vehicle and not have to pay OEM prices.

I wish they made one for my 03! I'd be on that in a heartbeat!

 

They have two universal units. one looks like a double din and the other looks to be a single din flip up.

I think he got the wrong part #. Here is the one for the Sierra.

 

 

Sierra Part No

 

One question I have. They say you need a CNP200UCTM tuner for sat radio, but I can not find it anywhere in their catalog. How much would this add to the cost. Plus the cable you need also.

He probably just linked to the wrong one, the other one looks the same and is the same price.

 

 

Well all I have some bad news. The company has gone under is no longer shipping units. Seems they have lost their financial backers due to the economy. I called the company today that I was buying it from to check on the shipping status and after being on hold for about ten minutes the guy comes back on and say that the company never shipped it due to going under. I asked when they were planning to tell me and he say that they were expecting a unit from a different manufacture tomorrow and if it worked the same they were going to just send me that one. Needless to say I cancelled my order and will never do business with them again. Sorry to get your hopes up. The salesman said the name of the one they were getting in is made by a company called Motevo. I will let you know if it seams realistic this.

Well guys, I contacted the Motevo rep here in the Northeast in regards to the OEM style radios they make.

To install a NAV/DVD factory looking radio in my 06 Silverado LT3 with the bose system, it would be $1496, including lan harness and steering wheel control harness. The factory harnesses do not work on their radios.

For that, I'll buy a factory Delphi :-(

i would say just go with this pioneer seems to be one of the best i have seen and at this price you cant beat it... you get a great nav unit, dvd player, bluetooth, etc. for a fraction of the cost. just wish it integrated with onstar somehow(or does it?) http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/navigationgps.aspx

 

pioneer 900BT or the 90BT

 

I picked up my AVIV F90Bt for $604 shipped, with the steering wheel hookup and interfaces to work with onstar its was total of around 750-800.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
