Rosen OEM-like Navigation & Bluetooth

[Z71Texas06]

Well damn. I was looking at this unit. I may end up going with it as I do not have the factory backup camera. Ive heard good reviews on the enclave forums.

I would go for it if you don't already have the factory backup camera. The install issue will be challenging, but worth the effort to get the upgrades IMO

oem backup cam interface

Metra makes a harness for the rearview camera that converts the wiring into a rca connector that will allow your oem camera to work with any nav system

"Uhm Crutchfield, this is Z71Texas06, can you please send back to me that radio and this metra adapter?"

Haha, no kidding. Thanks very much for the reference to the video adapter. I want to track down the manual for it to make sure the harness will be friendly with each other, but definitely looks promising.

Where can you get this part? I googled it and did not find anyone that sells it. I am interested in the Rosen also for a '09 Tahoe. (I hate the OEM GPS and no Ipod interface)

According to Crutchfield, neither the GM0720-N11 nor the GM0710-N11 fits my 2009 Chevy Tahoe. They also say that the new -N11 (2010) versions do not fix the backup cam incompatibility of the -M11 and that a new backup cam would be need to be installed. They are not aware of a problem with the rear seat controls and could not comment.
I sent an email to Rosen asking for that information and have not gotten a response after two days. Rosen does not take calls from consumers.
I will update if I hear anything new.

hey, I stumbled on this site because I sell a lot of these systems and was trying to find where people were getting their information from.

If anyone has any specific questions on the unit I would be more than willing to help.

Is your radio now non-bose, bose, or bose with centerpoint?

There are 3 different Rosen model numbers that will correspond to your vehicle based on the answer to that question.

Synthmode,
This is not the only forum that you can get feedback on the Rosen units.
To answer your question, i have a '09 Tahoe with factory nav, factory backupcam and bose centerpoint. Thanks but I finally found a place to get the metra part.
IMO the problem with the Rosen unit is that it does not integrate with the oem backup cam and you lose some of the rear seat entertainment function. The metra harness brings out the oem backup cam but with the adapter you cannot plug the factory harness into the Rosen. I don't know what else is on that harness but seems it would be lost. One forum member on gm-trucks dot com said the -N11 version fixed the oem backup cam and the RSE issues but when I asked him to verify he did not respond.
I also sent an email to Rosen directly asking them about the -N11 and they did not respond.

I found when doing all my original research that I had to call their number (not on their own website, but through business listings search...it is 951-898-9808) to get detail directly from Rosen.

If there is a new release / version of the unit that fixed the backup cam and RSE, PLEASE let me know as that would change the game!

the n11 model supports RSE as far as the overhead monitor, but if you are referring to rear seat audio controls, then no it does not.

It also will not support the OEM camera without the metra part and you will also have to buy the dp-1010 harness separately as they no longer are shipping the extra harnesses with the unit.
