#32 of 52 2003 yukon xl, double din bose, help please by benscoobert May 17, 2008 (1:19 pm)
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 Replies to this message: firstclass305 (Sep 24, 2008 7:54 am) fixitrod (Sep 25, 2008 9:19 am)

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.

Replying to: benscoobert (May 17, 2008 1:19 pm) 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
#37 of 52 cd player trouble by brandon119 Oct 09, 2008 (11:47 am)
i have recently been having problems with the yukon's cd player. The message "err" is displayed when I try to play a cd and i havent been able to find out what causes this problem or how to fix it. Any information on this problem would be great.
#38 of 52 Can't listen to DVD audio. by wileyc Oct 14, 2008 (7:13 pm)
2004 GMC Yukon Denali. No nav screen, just single/multiple cd/tape and radio. The manual says that once the DVD is playing there should be a DVD symbol on the radio, then I should select the DVD as audio source by pressing TAPE/DISC until DVD is highlighted, or choose DVD from using the SOURCE button. But the DVD symbol never shows up even while the DVD is playing, and DVD is not an option under SOURCE or TAPE/DISC. Either I'm just doing something wrong, or there is a problem. Also might be after market DVD, with missing head phones. Cannot select DVD audio from rear entertainment center either. Did this model come with a DVD player? If so, how do we listen to it? It plays the movie, but cannot access sound. Please help! Replies to this message: lisayukon (Jul 13, 2009 8:44 pm)
#39 of 52 Re: Rear Audio speakers - No Sound [u2canhave1] by icetrey81 Nov 16, 2008 (7:29 pm)
Replying to: u2canhave1 (Jan 03, 2008 9:35 am) I am having the exact same problem with my 03. Headphones work but no sound through rear speakers. Shows the headphone icon on the front head unit (factory) so I'm thinking it's always trying to play through the headphones instead of the speakers? Anyway to turn the headphones off or what? I have only had the Denali a week or so and it would be nice to have some sound coming from the back as well! If you figure out a fix be sure to let me know and I'll do the same!

What do I need in order to play an iPod in a 2007 Yukon? Replies to this message: ahightower (Dec 02, 2008 5:01 pm)

Replying to: Yetti (Dec 01, 2008 6:44 pm) Headphones.   (Just kidding! )   Things may have changed with the new 2007 head unit, but I looked into this for my 2005, and there is an adapter for sale that will work with the factory system. Apparently you connect this thing to the back of the factory radio, and when you push the CD/AUX button it will switch between those inputs. Total cost, installed, was about $150 at a little cell phone/car audio shop I just happened to visit. They would run the USB cable through the dash somewhere, they said most likely into the glove box, but I suppose they could put in in the center console or anywhere else. Again, it may be different for 2007+ models. If any of the buttons in your radio say Aux or CD/Aux, you'd probably be in luck. Just swing by some stereo shop and ask for their recommendation.
