So, I had just purchased a brand new head unit for my '03 before I upgraded to a '13 Avalanche (wasn't planning on upgrading so soon, but that's how it goes sometimes). Anyhow, before letting go of the old truck I put the factory radio back in it and took my new aftermarket HU out. I now want to put this HU in my '13 since its better than the one in it as well. I like the Android Auto interface.
Have some questions for those that have upgraded the LT (non nav) HU in the newer Avalanches:
I now have the following parts:
1) Pioneer AVH-4200NEX (this is the heart of the system to be re-used)
2) PAC RP5-GM11 Radio Replacement Interface With Built-In OnStar Retention/Steering Wheel Control Retention/Navigation
Outputs for Select GM Class II Vehicles (hmmm... probably need to upgrade this to a different one, but not sure what to get?)
3) SiriusXM SXV300v1 Connect Vehicle Tuner Kit for Satellite Radio (I would guess this will be re-used as aftermarket radios aren't compatible with the GM XM tuner which used to be behind the glove box?)
4) Premium 7? Inches Rearview Car LCD Monitor By Pyle (I was using this for the rear seat LCD-- I can reuse this to play kids videos in the back again as it hooks directly to the pioneer)
5) Esky EC170-08 Waterproof Night Vision HD CMOS 170?Viewing Field Car Rear View Backup Camera (don't need this as I already have factory backup cam and projection in the the rear view mirror)
Interested in what others have done here (especially when it comes to the PAC interface in #2).
Also, a bit miffed by something else I see in the new truck. I would have assumed that a '13 LT Z71 with the non-nav HU should NOT have Bose speakers or the amplifier-- but the speakers in my A-pillar say Bose on them? I'm confused about this... If I pull out the center console cup holder bezel/tray, I can see a bunch of electronics down there (similar to my old '03 z71 which had a bose amplifier)... but, the door speakers don't all say bose on them... can a non-nav HU have bose?
