The 710, which is what our trucks utilize as factory replacement is what I linked. I don't think anyone got the HDD Centerpoint H-U.......

I understand about the 710. What I am saying is that it depends on your system as to which HU fits. I have an '09 LTZ Tahoe with Centerpoint Bose and the 720 is the correct factory replacement for it. You can tell if you have Centerpoint by looking to see if you have a speaker in the center of your dash or not.

As highlighted above, I returned the unit after a small amount of actual testing. I spoke to Rosen about why I returned (to refresh, primary reasons were (1) that it doesn't integrate the factory backup camera and (2) I couldn't find a way to effectively stuff the added harnesses and boxes from Rosen behind the stereo chassis). Their response was basically that, while they understand my apprehension about the factory backup camera, most of their units are sold to customers who DON'T have navigation from the factory (and thus don't have a factory backup camera, or if they do, it is integrated into the rear-view mirror). Thus, there isn't much motivation for them to figure out how to integrate the video signal from the factory harness into their unit. It's hard for me to know how difficult this task would be, but I just don't see how it is a very big deal.

If the backup camera issue could be resolved (by Rosen or by another aftermarket supplier like PAC), I would try again to figure out a way to get it installed because I really think the features and factory look of the Rosen make it worth the investment.


what was rosens return policy?

OEM Backup Camera Wire Color

This unit refurbished is now $545 through eBay. I bought this unit for the price, brand and features. This is the 2nd generation refurbished unit as it says. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/321020003647?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649)

Can anyone please tell me from the OEM harness (brown connector) which color wire is the video wire? I am installing this unit myself and now running into the issue of the backup camera. So the details through eBay say it needs to be hard-wired into the navigation unit (w/Bose centerpoint unit and harness).

So I assume I need the live video wire(blue in color) and connect this into the blue wire labeled "back" on the new harness that is then connected to the Rosen unit.

I have a 07 Yukon XL Denali (new body) with Bose centerpoint.
