I just bought a '16 Denali and was surprised that it still had a composite video input. Then I saw online that the '17s are finally coming with HDMI. Does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the input on the '16 model without replacing the entire head unit?

i have a 16 as well looks like you can just buy that piece and swap it out most likely

I'm sure the parts would physically swap. But I think you would need to convert the digital signal from the HDMI to an analog signal that the head unit can decipher. I'm not sure if this is converted at the console input, or if it's a different head unit that accepts the digital input.

I guess I'm hoping somebody else wants to step up and be the guinea pig
