Do they work with Bose/NAV?

It’s damn close…. And definitely has me nervous…
This is much lower in height position than I’d prefer and seems to be the most in the way:

These are a bit higher where I’d prefer it. But it looks like it’d pretty damn close while shifted into drive:

Then here is the big 11” Alpine Halo unit. Not convinced that there isn’t some slight blockage of the center HVAC vents with this one and concerns with the shifter:

You need some Aerosmith playing.
Yeah, the Escalade radio is VERY limiting. There is no depth unless you move the radio down to where the buttons are on the stock radio and you need a shallow radio to put it up top (which is nice those are commonly available now since everyone streams), but neither give you the room for a floating screen radio without the shifting hitting the screen [in drive] from the research I did. You also have to downgrade from the factory 8” screen to a 7.”
I have to stop looking at these tings
Look at these tings then….

Yes, my truck is an '08 Burb LTZ with Bose and was a factory Nav.
Which brand is that one? I almost like those but the no name brands all make me very nervous about sound quality and, I’m sure, there will be zero support for any issues.

Here is a link to the Escalade version...

They have different processor options for different prices.
I will say that my only real complaint is they advertise the one for my truck as a 13" screen and it is actually an 11.8" according to the sticker that came on it, and when I asked if they sent the wrong one they said "No, we went back to the 11.8" due to quality issues with the 13"."
To which I asked, why not just advertise it as an 11.8" or even a 12"? And they said well it is still a 13" screen... I said well you may as well just advertise it as a 15" screen with that kind of logic... lol
There are other companies out there that offer similar headunits but this company is the only one I have ever dealt with.

Isn’t there a version that keeps the stock HVAC control? I feel like I’ve seen that in some pictures. I’d rather have that version. I don’t see it on their site. Do you still have to cannibalize the factory radio to make those work? Any adapters/harnesses needed like the Maestro RR?

I'm not sure if this was directed at me or someone else.
With the one I posted you simply take the automatic climate control panel out, remove the front panel and unplug the wiring harness from the original front panel and plug that harness into the back of the new headunit. The original control board is still used by doing this and you just screw it to the back of the new unit and plug your factory harnesses back into it.
No Maestro required, and I'm not sure about any version that keeps the factory A/C controls in place. The screen would have to be much smaller obviously.
I like it a lot.
The larger one that kbuskill has cost more than i was willing to spend.

You’re really raining on my radio parade…
Not sure if I want to go with this type:
The good ones like this are just as expensive as the floating screen style.
I know. That’s what stopped me from doing it. The only reason I started thinking about it again is I just can’t stand the second screen I added for CarPlay. It functions fine but the look is just not what I want and two screens is so bright at night. I did find this radio that has pretty much all the features I want and is pretty reasonably priced, but all the adapters and crap to make it work is almost as much as the radio.

I don't care about a big distracting screen. I just want something that works withy factory Bose/Nav, and doesn't cost 1/10th of what my car is worth.
A stereo should be $300 if I can get an 60" TV with Wifi and Bluetooth that controls my entire house with voice commands for the same price.
There are plenty of $300 radios but they don’t have much more additional features and you do still need some sort of adapter harness. The Maestro RR seems to be the best quality one, but, obviously, at a cost.
