Will you tell us, or post a link to that other forum discussing the different NAV unit?
"I tried to remove XM categories too, but they never go away. Asked the dealer to look at it and they couldn't find anything to fix it or even to be able to say that it's a problem. In my opinion these nav units are a piece of crap for the money they charge for them. I've also read on another forum that they started to put a different model of nav units in the newer built Tahoes that fix some of the many software issues that they can't seem to fix on the old ones. GM should find a way to fix the older units or replace them all. "

I found this post #1722 and had the same thing happen to me yesterday. 20,000 miles it. I had 1st and 2nd gear left after that metal parts fell to the bottom of the transfer case. That's what it sounded like.
Dealer said it was a total transmission failure and that the forward crankcase, I believe, was not installed correctly at the factory. They are putting in a brand new transmission.
Really sucks. Got a small '08 Impala as a rental. I miss my large Tahoe.

I agree on the replacement. I read an outline of the newer ones and the interface is a little more sexier (software GUI lingo). I am wondering if we fight hard enough that it could be replaced. I have 28K miles on it........... better do it before it turns 36K and hit the warrenty experation date.

Are you saying the dealer did not GIVE you a loaner on your transmission fix?

I've tried to have mine fixed/replaced, but they say there is nothing wrong with it. Does anyone with a newer Tahoe have these same issues?

I purchased my 2007 Z71 in March 2007 (Vehicle manufactured in Feb 2007) and like I said in previous posts, the nav system display is really sucks, compared to a TomTom or Garmin Nav systems displays. Is this what you are all talking about?? Do the new versions on the GM Nav systems have a better display?? Will the yearly map software updates update the display maybe??? Since I will be eligible for my first update in March 2008, I'm hoping that will change things. I hope they just maybe gave me an old (old) software disc because it is really out of date (many newer roads missing, old POI's, etc.).

Thanks for letting us know what website. I don't think anyone would complain if you put a post link, but if you don't want to I understand. At least would you give us the post subject so we easily search for the post.

Oh no, the '08 Impala was my loaner. Got my Tahoe back today already. Only 2 days for the new tranny. Runs great so far. Time will tell. Love my dealership though. Great customer service.

Just curious. If you disliked the Nav display so much, why did you get it? Why not just get a Garmin?
BTW, GM is discontinuing the two free nav disk updates with the 2008s.
