SIMPLE 2007 Yukon Radio questions by neicey59

When we purchased our 2007 Yukon SLT it supposidly came with XM, each time we push the button it tells us it's not there. Some say we need to activate XM, some say we need to have XM installed as the vehicle is only XM ready". The Dealership says "XM ready, and wants to sell us $1,000 in components in order for us to have XM.
 
Help - which is right?

I could be wrong, but I would press that blue OnStar button and ask them to tell you what you have as far as if your SLT is XM ready, or if you need additional equipment... From there, assuming that your SLT is XM Ready, the OnStar Customer Support can even help you to set-up/activate the XM account; yeah, they will likely need your credit card number...

2003 yukon xl, double din bose, help please by benscoobert

New member here, HI
 
I just decided to treat myself to a 2003 Yukon XL SLT, very rare here in the UK
I am prepared to order from the US for my install, but obviously I want to get it right 1st time
 
Mine is a 2003 SLT, I am told it has a BOSE system, the speakers say BOSE on them but the headunit doesn't. The headunit has Delco part No. 15184935 on the side, is that BOSE?
 
OK, here is my plan, the way I see it I have 2 options.
Preferred Option 1:
Below the regular headunit in the centre console there is a space which has a single DIN opening which tapers off towards the back. I thought I could add a DVD 7 inch flip up screen here and feed the audio to the aux of the headunit.
Upon looking at the rear of the headunit today I see I will need an adapter like this maybe http://www.logjamelectronics.com/pacaaigm24.html
 
Option 2:
I replace the headunit for a double DIN in dash screen.
This brings up a whole load of issues with the BOSE amp and speakers already installed and also the onboard bongs etc.
Also the wife doesnt like the way the headunit points towards the driver and she cant see the screen properly, to I guess if I did it this way it might need a 2nd screen anyway
 
Soooo, can anyone advise the best route here, am I missing something which make this job easier or harder?
Thanks in advance
Ben

You can add a new head unit to a bose system. They make loads of adapters... www.bestkits.com It should not be a big deal.

Truly the Bose system you have is one of the "sickest" factory systems out there ala limited. Your factory head is a Bose BTW.The easy way would be to use GMOS-04 and aftermarket HU to retain warning chimes etc, and/or Onstar(is that available in UK?). If you are a discriminating listener like me you will find some limitations to the speakers and output with any capable aftermarket HU and in time will get tired of it.
  My plan at this point is to do a total install of amps, Speakers and subs with complete rewiring so you have total control over outcome. Many installers have stated some problems tying into factory wiring. If you go with a screen HU the angle is not going to change so put a visor mount for the wife or TOmTOm so she can navigate. Also my wife has an iphone and the nav functions are pretty good...you choose. Good luck
