What your doing is creating a spaghetti of wires!!! Your better off getting replacement head unit with all the features you want incorporated in it.
I recommend the Kenwood double din unit. It has all the features you just mentioned you want and is a simple and cleaner install.

Ill second the Kenwood units, the higher end models have built in Garmin GPS and dual DVD slots so you can run your GPS disc and a DVD at the same time. No speed sensors to clock how far you drive, just the Garmin antenna

The iSimple will allow you XM and full ipod control. You will need part number: ISGM74, this has both the harness for the 2003-2007 and the 2008-2009

I have this in our 2008 and it works seamlessly, I had the Nucleus in the 2006 but that also allowed you to use both XM and Ipod, if you wanted to use XM you simply unplugged the ipod.

For the sake of simplicity and DIY install trust me get the kenwood. Its got blue tooth, GPS by garmin mind you, Ipod touch control which allows your vids to play directly on screen, usb port for gadgets. I have one in my Avalanche and im dying for my flip out to die on me in my H2 to get another one.

DNX9960 or the DNX9140. 9960 replaced the 9140. They both have the same features but 9960 is newer model. Ill post pics of the one in my avalanche this evening.
