Felix's Black on Black Esky and Black on Tan Avalanche
Yes it sure does but it doesn't just work plug and play to an oem secondary screen.

That seems odd Felix 
why would it not be plug in play to a secondary screen? Even my buddies cheapo DVD head unit just plugs into a headliner DVD unit.

Because it a factory overhead LCD drop down. I'm guessing your friend went from aftermarket radio to aftermarket secondary screen? I'm going from aftermarket radio to oem secondary screen. The guy that helps me do all my Audio crap tried to do it and said I specifically would need a third party interface to make it work.

Interesting! And you're right. My buddy was going from aftermarket to aftermarket.

Yep I figured that. And if I had an aftermarket overhead secondary screen it'd be hooked up by now... So basically I'm trying to figure out everything I need to get it to work like it did when I had my oem factory nav radio. I also read you need this extra module/interface for the infrared feature so the oem wireless headphones and remote will work too.

I know! He and another friend of his that works at our local audio installer around town tried for a while to get it to work to no avail. Then after some googling I found the PAC GMRVD interface cable made specifically for what I need. But after reading the description I'm confused as to if this works as a standalone or if its mandatory to be used with the PAC OS-3 which I don't have...
I have the OS-4 and have no idea if I can use that in place of the os3 it supposedly requires. Or if its required at all... I read the OS 3 description and it sounds like its exactly what my OS 4 does. Basically I'm confused as to what I need bc I can't find any forum threads about this exact situation.

Just ordered the PAC GMRVD harness for my avalanche. It's the interface needed to use the factory rear drop down LCD monitor with an aftermarket screen. I also ordered the Airaid Jr. 200-796 CAI kit for the Esky. The Esky will finally be getting the much needed BB Tune after the CAI is installed!!!
