im selling my stang and picking up a 2005 yukon denali. it has the factory navi with bose, but i want to take out the nav and put in my avic. does it work ok with the factory system? has anyone tried out the steering wheel interface for the avic, and does it work well? do i need to also get an onstar interface and the chime interface? who makes them?
thanks
i think Pac make the onstar modual my buddy put his N2 but its an Ecalade im sure its the same thing
streering controls also work fine
cool thanks, escalade and denali are definetly the same.
Metra makes an interface for Bose and the Data System, GMOS-4 best buy has em for $120 or so, even gives you your VSS and Reverse wires on the harness, plus a 12V accesorry
ok im gonna pick that up, thanks.
is there any way to get the center console cd changer to work with the avic? if not, does gm make like some kind of pocket or something that fits in there? i dont want to have a non working cd changer right in the middle of my console!
Although I'm sure it would work, but personally, I would ebay off the changer and get your storage back. The HDD of the Z2 gladly takes the changer's job.
you would probably have to call, but http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/ is a great source.
they DO make a part, it replaces the whole front part of the console,but with a pocket. It was for the non changer models.
so it will match up with the color of the denalis console right? what truck would i order this for when i go to the dealer?
Denali,tell them you DONT have a changer 
got it, i thought alllll denalis had the changer standard! is the avic able to control the bose sub with the sub woofer controls, or just like thru the equalizer?
The GM changer will not work with the AVIC. And you're right that all the Denali's came with the changer.
The AVIC will not be able to control the sub independently from the rest of the speakers, only w/ the EQ. Be sure to set all of the factory audio controls to zero before removing the radio. All of the settings are stored in the Bose amp.
Sorry, Suburbans,or any of the trucks of the same year of your Denali 
cool. now as far as the steering wheel interface, i have found the PAC SWI-PS and the soundgate REMPIOGM, but the soundgate says it only works on denalis till 04. i thought 03-06 is the same? is there any difference, or should i just order up the PAC? thanks for all the help! basically all i will lose when this is all done is the rear controls will not work anymore right?

have you used the metra harness? i was going to order it from crutchfield, but there are a bunch of bad reviews about it. should i order a different brand, it would be 2 seperate interfaces then though. or does the metra work fine?

is part 24 what your talking about? it doesnt seem like it will fit, since it looks like its contoured towards the driver and the factory piece is straight. also, this piece wont have woodgrain, so it might make the interior look weird. anyone got any pix of it installed?
