OEM Nav replacement

[lskipper]

I have a 2010 Denali with the Bose Center Point sound, rear entertaiment and back up camera. Also I have the hands free bluetooth and Onstar.

The issue I am having is that I just don't care for the actual nav portion of the system. I have a $75.00 Tom Tom gps that provides more information than the OEM unit. I get more data direction, ETA, time to next turn, etc.

I am looking at replacing the unit with a Rosen (centerpoint) unit. Since this is the only one that I have found that will work with everything that I have and I do want to keep all the other features in place and I want to keep that factory look.

Am I just asking too much from the OEM unit or could someone provide something else that would work? I thought about buying the update disc but I believe it will only update the maps and not the "form factor" of the nav unit itself. I don't have to go with the Rosen unit, but I dont want to give anything up either.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I bought the new map update and to my surprise, the display actually did change. With the latest update, it now shows which lane to be in when exiting the highway.

A good alternative would be a Kenwood unit since it has Garmin Nav built in. It does get a little pricey to keep the onstar/door chimes etc. that's with any aftermarket option though.

I would rather spend $200.00 for the update disc than 1200+ for a new unit. What year update to you have??

This years update.

I have the same vehicle (with center point)

I replaced my with the 2012 unit with the hard drive. I am very happy with it.

I tried aftermarket, but I got a mosquito noise with both PAC and Axxess units with centerpoint. So I really like staying with OEM.

You also get the guidelines with the reverse camera.

Can I ask about you got in the OEM unit. I figured GM would be very proud of it... it is going to cost me around 1200-1300 for the Rosen unit and install.

Thank you...

I'd like to know as well!

We've been using the PAC OS4 data module with the Advent OGM1 and it works great with the Centerpoint system. The only issue we know of is that since the chimes are built into BOTH the OGM1 and the factory amp, you'll get a subtle "dual chime" at bootup.

Other than that, everything works as it should...

I got my 2012 GM OEM Nav unit from Greg at CPS audio Video (707) 588-9300 for 1550.00, which includes the wiring conversion harness, XM antenna extension, usb adapter, gps antenna, and I opted for the video harness so I can supply video to my headrest monitors. Also he preprograms the units so they are almost plug and play, I just had to tap into my camera wiring and vss wire.

Hot damn! That's a deal. Was that for the hard drive unit?
