I have a 2004 GMC Yukon XL Denali and I would like to upgrade the factory radio to an after market touchscreen with navigation. I would like to have a cd player but, not a game changer. Navigation is a priority whether its Android or iPhone compatible. Thanks for your help.

First, establish your budget. Otherwise, you are just on a fishing expedition.

Then, go to Crutchfield.com and look at the head units available within your budget. You will also need an interface unit to seamlessly connect your new head unit to your truck while maintaining steering wheel controls and other interior integrations, without cutting any wires. These interface units are also available at Crutchfield and will cost around $100-$150. If you have additional questions, call the Crutchfield Techs on the phone to get answers. Even if you end up buying elsewhere (Crutchfield is very competitive pricewise), you can get all of the information required for you to make your decision using Crutchfield as an information source.

I used crutchfield.com and got an Apple Carplay head unit and they even wired it up so it was plug-n-play. i was even able to keep my Bose as well as steering wheel controls. All in all was around $400, of course I went with an entry-level unit, you can go as fancy as you'd like. I definitely recommend them.

03 Denali so mine is the same as yours...

I got a Kenwood 376BT, but it doesn't have NAV. The 374BT does, but doesn't have modern google/apple integration. See if there's a newer DDX model, maybe? Crutchfield is a good place to start and has a search where you can specify features and ensure compatibility.
