The Yukon and Suburban are the same, but the Denali is one step up in capability and performance. Apparently, it's the one that has the volume issue.

Yes.
 
Was it as easy to install?
 
Yes, once panel is removed. I used tape covered putty knife. The clips hold very well, but they do break loose. The bottom center is the hardest.
 
Did you do the nav overide?
 
No, but I understand it works well. When in override, the screen will flash every 10-15 seconds so the GPS can catch-up.
  
Any problems?
 
See my other posts related to volume control. This may be only on Denali units with NAV and/or rear DVD

Yes, they are hard to get hold of via phone. They respond pretty well via email. If you see my other posts, I finally was able to speak to one of the principles related to actual operation and some of the problems inherent to working with new car electrical systems.

I just finished the install of the Coastal E-Tech on my 07 GMC Yukon XL. It was very easy and only took me about 20 minutes to complete. The bypass for the DVD was a 5 minute job. The bypass for Nav system was another 10 minutes. However, I would caution you on one thing. After you install the wire taps on the green/white wire, you need to plug the brown connecter back into the unit. They do not tell you this in the instructions! I used a pocket knife to carefully remove plastic shroud. It works great!

Wiper Blades (Winter) 2007 Tahoe by junglegeorge

Anyone else notice that GM has totally changed the mounting bracket on the 07 wipers. No more running to your local department store for spare or winter blades, looks like GM has the monopoly on this mount, at least for now. If you know where I can purchase winter blades for the 07 Tahoe, I would love to here from you, they come in real handy here in the north east. GM does not have a part number for winter blades, yet. thanks George

Ahightower,
FYI, Motor Trend does a comparison between the Suburban and Expedition EL in the November issue. Unfortunately, for us GM owners the test drivers chose the Expedition in a split decision over the Suburban. Yet,in the buying guide portion of the same issue the Suburban (and Tahoe) rated 4.5 stars,the Expedition 4 stars, the Yukon, Yukon XL 5 stars, and the Escalade 4 stars. For whatever its worth. FYI

You asked about a more expensive option...I had already ordered one from a truck detail shop. They got it f
from "NAV TV" I can find the internet site but it does not talk openly about it as does Coastaletch. My device only allows the DVD to run. You have to add an external switch, which was placed neatly under the dash easily accessible. It does not allow for XM Scolling or NAV input once up to speed. I originally didn't think of this option until reading about the device from Coastaletch. The one from Nav TV works fine you just click the switch and the video is on. The volume controls all operate normally. This option was 750 installed. It is not a plug in type there are a few wires to isolate. www.navtv.com

Does anyone else have trouble reading the gages in the daylight? I find myself constantly turning on the fog lights to illuminate the gage package, any suggestions. Thanks George.
