Ok so let me start out that I have hated Alpine since before I quit peeing my pants. I opened my mailbox today to find a Crutchfield catalog, haven't bought anything from them in years but they keep sending them, and notice Alpine has an 8" DD screen pictured in a NNBS dash. It peaked my interest so I started reading a bit about it and though pricey it appears to me that Alpine stepped up their game which is saying a lot coming from me.

The unit is only available for select units one being a NNBS.

Just thought it might be a look see for anyone willing to spend the chedda, not me, but I would like to see one in a NNBS.

this is the newest one that came out? I almost bought the ina 910. Id love to get a system with all the goodies but its a nice chuck to drop on a stereo.

Interesting ... I used their fitment guide on a bose non nav Yukon and it added these components:

Installation Details for your 2010 GMC Yukon Sport Utility with Bose system; without Navigation system

This item fits your vehicle
This integration package is used in conjunction with an Alpine navigation receiver to create a plug-and-play setup that requires no additional wiring. This package includes a dash adapter, as well as a wiring interface that plugs directly from the Alpine to your vehicle.
Please Note: Because your vehicle is factory-equipped with a special sound system, Crutchfield recommends a bypass adapter that we provide. Not using this adapter could make it necessary to replace the entire factory sound system, including the speakers.

Alpine KTX-GM8-0 Alpine integration package $399.99
Metra GMOS-100 $249.99
GM OnstarGMOS-LAN-02 $149.99


Pricey indeed!

Yes I forgot to add that when I was reading you get a new trim piece that goes around radio and all that stuff. I am glad that they did this as other brands will soon follow suit.

Outside the dash piece one only needs one of those two harnesses depending on the audio system the car is equipped with.

Looks pretty clean but I wonder how well the navigation works on it... it doesn't have any pics of the navigation part of the HU operating.

I don't like the way the H/U and trim piece curves it looks very weird to me for some reason.

The first pic I seen of it wasn't as noticeable.

I have never been impressed with integrated nav in HU's.

it has 3d mapping pretty cool and helpful. The thing is, cell phone navi and portable navi are much easier to keep current and less expensive to keep current. In dash HU usually have to get a update disc which can be expensive. Few years down the road, New streets and roads that are new wont be recognized by the outdated navi. Portable just do an update and its good to go

x2 what Sumo said. I don't care for having Navi in my rides cuz I already have it in my phone and I don't have to pay nothing for it to be updated. :shrug:
