Originally using the Metra kit that came from Crutchfield with my 4200NEX...the face of the radio wouldn't open. I then ordered a Scosche unit and mounted the bracket to the radio with the gap between the bottom of the faceplate and bottom of bracket.

Now have enough room for the faceplace to open while mounted.

Sooo many questions about this. OK, so get the scoche kit. What is this idatalink you guys are referring to along with this GM5? I went to Best Buy and they recommended this expensive harness kit for like 129 that gives plug and play for radio and also steering wheel. Its supposed to retain everything. I want to be fully prepared for this. What are these things you guys are using?

The idatalink lets you connect to the odb port and see certain features from the vehicle. Th gm5 is the specific harness needed for the nnbs. For $129, it sounds like they are getting you the harness that retains chimes, steerig wheel controls and on star. The idatalink and gm5 harness retail is about $200 for both, so BB is not providing that.

If you dont care for on-star and dont have bose, there is a cheaper harness.

I definitely dont care about on-star but I do have Bose, just not the one with the speaker in the middle. I'm very curious on the features you can see regarding ODB. I wish someone had a video of all this stuff . Definitely appreciate the feedback

Doors open, check engine codes, you can clear the check engine codes, you can see all the gauges, tb position, speed, intake temp, etc etc, backup sensors on screen, tire pressure, load, all that fun stuff. You cannot see oil pressure. Ill take pictures later if i remember.

That sounds hot! So the GM5 alone allows you to see all this detail?

The idatalink is the brain. The GM5 is the specific harness for the nnbs.

The harness that comes with the idatalink is universal and useless to us, so throw it away. I was very confused when I got it and knew nothing of the GM5.

Basically, all the info you see if you bought a top of the line new vehicle with the TS, like the Fords.

I am guessing these are the 2 harnesses that are needed.
