Help Needed!!! GM O.E.M. Nav Swap!

[Dedic761]

I have a 2005 Gmc Sierra Denali... I have the Bose system with the in dash cd changer as well as the oem cd player / casette player (no factory screen with nav), Also Rear DVD in the ceiling. I found a Stock Gm navigation unit from a 2005 GMC Yukon Denali... Will this work???

Do I need a gps antenna??

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Corunna, MI? I'm in Grand Blanc/Flint

We did this swap on our 03 Dmax

So you already have the lux amp? then IIRC you only need the nav itself, and the one you talk about should work

You'll need it to be vin-unlocked, rewire a few pin connectors, and maybe get the nav reprogrammed for lux IIRC

I can get the writeup link for you from DieselPlace where we've done 2 off of, but you'll need to register there to see it, although a great site. Want me to?

Sure! I just discovered that these radios (#15800001 #15230099 #10377531) All interchange and are direct plug and play with my denali. I do have the lux amp... And I believe I have the antenna and the Microphone already. From what this ebay ad says its a direct plug and play...

Im interested in this too. Mine has Bose 6 disc and all that but no factory dvd. Could I make a factory NAV work in mine as well?

[94383Z71]

IIRC the only criteria is the bose system. from there, you can get the nav and (if you need it) the lux amp to

I was gonna tell him just to register at dieselplace.com and look in their tech articles cause I cant get the login stuff

thats the only place I know of that has it. I may bring it here one day

OK the diesel forum thread helped!!! I Bought a unit from a 2005 Yukon Denali... From what i've read this should be plug and play... I have to get disc's and the gps antenna.

good to hear man. I wasnt sure how much it covered, I havent read the whole thing myself.

Glad to help

I can't wait to see pics

[Dedic761]

Does anyone know how i get the nav unit unlocked? Do i install it first or take it to the dealer seperate???

[Dedic761]

91blkstepside :

From what i've read on the net..you need to buy a lux amp...if you have the stock bose system that come in silverado's then you have the premium amp witch will not work with. UNLESS - You buy a specific nav unit that is for a NON-LUX Bose system, which is what comes in silverados. Denali's, Escalades, Is the only vehicles that I've found with the LUX amp. I have a Sierra Denali and I am fortunate enough to have the LUX amp. Should be a plug and play with the GPS antenna.

Posting Some Pics SOON!

Sorry drew, I thought I answered

basically, like said. You need the bose sound system. Then, either buy a non-lux nav, or lux amp and nav, and use the DP install instructions

in a nutshell

[Dedic761]

Well I called one dealer and they said they didnt know how to unlock it because its not from my truck... I'm off to another one tonight that should be able to unlock it. Also experementing with the nav disc's as well. Anyone else had problems with the dealer's unlock procedure???

[Dedic761]

Also I plugged in the TNR and thurned the key to acc... and it says "theftlock activated"....Then i unplugged it with the key still on and plugged it back in...then the radio worked and it sounds just like it did before or better. Everything works great and it even plays the audio from the rear dvd player. I am excited to get this in and completed! Next will be and i pod integration and maybe a lock pick to access the nav while driving.

I can access my nav while driving, I didn't hook up the vss wire to the speedo and mine works fine.

You can do what I did, and that was get the 15800000 which is the non-lux premium bose amp, and it will work just fine. Just get the gps antenna and map disc and you will good to go. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[Dedic761]

Yes, I installed the Unit and it works flawless. I have to hook up the antenna that just came in the gmpartsdirect.com but other than that im good to go. And I also got the newest maps version 7.3 for the unit. Part # 25956245. I couldnt be happier with the install. Now im am going to do the same install for our 08 Sierra. Thanks for all the help!
