NJ,
Re-read the window sticker. It lists the 6 disc in the Lux package, but down below where it list the Nav system it says that it "REPLACES STD/OPT PKG RADIO".<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

DRTYFN, good lookin out! I missed that! I guess it's too early to ask anyone if a CD Changer can be added to the DVD NAV?

[csx164]

The navagation can only be used with the DVD inside the unit. If you put a audio cd in the player the Nav does not function. From what I have experenced. The positive is the Clean look to the Factory unit. The Nav is really detailed better than the one in my 740 BMW. One feature is the split screen, half can be zoomed in and the other zoomed out. It has 3D capility which is an angled view more like driving down down a route as apposed to a overhead view. It has both. The DVD is updated and had an address in a pretty new neighborhood today when i used it to find my way aroung the concrete jungle and twisted freeways called Los Angeles California. Half of the screen was the map and the other half is the route directions. It shows the off ramp and next turn. Or the highway or street name. The girl's voice is pleasent. When you play the radio you get a pretty cool LCD screen with the Station information song and artest.

A couple things i don't like. Can't play a CD with the Nav on, Doesn't have a CD changer and no XM. If they would have had an option for CD changer intergrated into the system i would have given it a 10 but i must give it 7+.

My plan is to put an aftermarket DVD XM radio into the onstar hole. All bose speakers will be used in the new system. wire a couple hidded speakers under the dash so i can still hear the Nav and onstar. I think this will still look better than a single unit such as a Alpine DVD Nav up in the old radio hole.

I haven't really looked it up but i think a aftermarket DVD NAV XM unit installed is about $ 4,000 the way im going is about the same but you get more functions and better sound from the aftermarket unit. from what i have heard it is hard to wire amps into to the factory unit plus it isn't the cleanest sound.

nothing against other ways to do it, but this is my plan. I'll keep you posted. The radio wont go in for a couple months.

Did you find a buyer yet?

JCJ,

It is absolutely possible, need to find an online version to link to. Once I have found it, it will be taken care of.

Thanks for the idea, will begin my search now ...

Does the nav unit only play one cd. Also does it require a nav-dvd and do you have to take it out to listen to a audio cd. Thanks for the input.

I stand corrected - there is another switch to the left of the light grouping (has the rear wiper control) - this has the space below (where I put my extra switch for off road lights)

Sorry

I found one on eBay and they said that it was not locked. What do they mean by locked? Are they vehicle specific?

I have a Magellan portable GPS. I want an in-dash. Saw the Pioneer, but the screen flips up and I think it will interfere with the vents on the dash. Are there good alternatives to the H2 Stock NAV system? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Locked....anti theft protection. After the unit is installed it's either programmed or learns the VIN number of the vehicle. Won't play in any other vehicle. BE CAREFUL.

Cool! Thanks for the pics! I think I like the old wheel center better, but the NAV looks great and the whip antenna is much better than I was expecting. For some reason I pictured some 3 foot silver thing with a spring base planted on the fender. Must have got that idea from the SUT concept.

Thanks again!

HeeHaw,
I am getting mine for 52 with everything except the 3rd row. Nav sunroof Lux and air ride. However they are honoring my GM supplier discount.

[cmb31078]

Are you able to listen to the radio and have the nav work at the same time? Thanks for the input.
