Installed my nav unit today...

[Danzigman]

It was a pretty straight forward install. I now have to go to the dealer to get them to clear the old vin and relearn the new one. Has anyone done this? What do they usually charge for this and do they give you any hassle?


Here is the link I used for reference.

do an OEM nav?

 

[Danzigman]

Yes. I put an 05 unit in it. Got a good deal on ebay. Now I just have to visit the dealer to reset the vin.

Re Radio

I am planning on doing the same thing. I would like to know how much the dealer charged you. Thanks in advanced.

I did this in my avalanche and the dealership charged me $100 to re-program the factory nav unit.

I called around the Houston area, the cheapest I found was $98.50. They were able to work me in Monday. I sat around for 2 hours for them to do the 15 minute procedure. Several of the dealerships acted like they had done this several times before while other seem confused about it so I guess it depend on who you call. Anyway mine is up and running. I have a total investment of $373.50 in the conversion. $210 for the radio (eBay), $65 for the new antenna (amazon) and $98.50 for the reprogram. The seller included two GM nav disks in factory boxes. Version 3 and 4. I know that these are a few years old. What number is the newest version? Also, does anything change besides the map when you get an update disk? Looks like they cost $200. That seems a bit steep to me.

curious..without the vin re-program does the radio not work at all or just certain features?
