haha. see the problem is if I change out the deck, I gotta replace all the speakers, if I change the speakers I'll need to amplify them. I'd have to buy a new overhead dvd player cause the factory one won't be able to hook up to the new deck. I'll lose my door chimes and my steering wheels controls. I'd have to buy another sub and amp cause that's just protocol when you put in a new sweet ass deck from soundsgood.
that's a whole lot of money just for sirius satellite radio

Amen eh!
How about advertising on here and Craigslist for someone that has replaced their factory head unit and they don't mind selling their existing tuner.

How much is it just for the unit with wires & antenna from GM? Does your deck support it? Posted via RS Mobile | |

$350 installed at the dealer that interfaces oem with your deck is a really really good deal.
Especially when they charge $115+ an hour.
Thats like what, 1 hour labor and $225 in parts? Thats really reasonable

now before someone attacks me for going to the dealership for oil changes, my truck came with an oil change for life package  | |

Least I would assume so... Try to get the vehicle audio schematics and you'll know for sure. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Other OEM dealer interfaces from other companies like Honda/Acura Infiniti/Nissan/BMW/Mercedes/Audi/VW are upwards of $500+ just parts alone

Go to www.pac-audio.com you can get a upac piece for your vehicle, then the cable, and a sirius scc1c. I just installed this for a client in a 2008 Chevy Silverado and he loves it cuz now he also has ipod plug in.
Even that way your looking at a fair chunk of cash $$

that's actually a pretty good solution since I'd have an ipod hookup as well. I could stop plugging my ipod into the overhead monitor and doing the blind reach-around to power on the overhead everytime I turn my truck on, thanks
