OEM Nav Help

[Boysen]

Hi there new to the forum. I bought off of someone here on the forum a Nav GM Part Number 15882766. Got the Nav antenna and the disk had it all installed took it to the gm dealer in my area for them to unlock with the Tech 2 and it would fail.

Did I get the wrong Nav for my 2007 Yukon Denali? I have the codes UQA and Y91 in the glove box.

If I did get the wrong one it is up for sale. I paid 450 for it and got the disk for 50 so all will go for 500 plus shipping!

Any help would be good!

Thanks Brad

There's two kinds of factory nav. One that plays DVD's and one that doesn't. If you have RSE (rear seat entertainment), you have to install the one that does play DVD's. If you don't have it then you have to get the one that does NOT play DVD's. You can identify the two different ones bc the one that does play DVD's will have a little white DVD symbol in the bottom left corner of your factory nav screen.

I do have the RSE and the Nav I got has the dvd logo on the bottom left corner of the head unit face. Here is the Nav that I bought http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32852

I'm not sure about this Felix...I don't have RSE and I put a nav that has DVD/RSE in and it works fine. I think you can put which ever Nav you want in there based on if you have bose or dont have bose, RSE or not it doesnt matter

Do I need to get the VSS Kit for my Kon? I do not know if that would make a difference or not?

 

[ranorris2]

You will need the vss kit regardless of what you have kon/tahoe...the kon uses the black and red wires on the brown connector, which I don't know where they go or what they do. You will have to ask someone that has made the swap in their kon.
You may try a different dealership to program your nav, or get the same one to redo it. Even without the VSS kit it should work, i.e. radio, dvd, etc...i think the guy programming it doesnt know what he is doing, but I guess there is a possibility that yours is broke...

I think that you hit the nail right on the head with that one. I have read before just do not remember where that you can install the head unit put the key in ACC and then disconnect the batt for 5 sec and then reconect the batt and it will let you use the head unit as long as the key stays in the acc. I do not know if this is true.

I can try a different dealership but just dont want to be out any more money if this head unit is bad!

Thanks for all the help!

Y91? Is that not the premium amp? Is there a different part number for the unit compatible with this? Maybe someone can clarify this? Hmm....

You can put either system in a vehicle without RSE. Obviously, you cannot do the opposite as the DVD player would essentially become useless without a DVD capable navigation unit.

Do I need to get the VSS Kit for my Kon? I do not know if that would make a difference or not?

Yes, you need a VSS kit like the one HERE. Ryan explained a little bit about this, and I can explain more if you need me to. Basically, you run the wires from the back of the navigation unit down to the wiring box under the dash, next to the left kick panel, by the emergency brake pedal.

I think that you hit the nail right on the head with that one. I have read before just do not remember where that you can install the head unit put the key in ACC and then disconnect the batt for 5 sec and then reconect the batt and it will let you use the head unit as long as the key stays in the acc.

I am pretty sure that this is true. I cannot point to any source that clarifies this, but I have heard this too. It is a way of making sure the system you have is actually working before taking it to the dealer. Either way, unless you have a bad/non-working system, then maybe the guy programming it just does not have a clue. It doesn't hurt to ask someone else

Really? I was told something different (and wrong too!)... I was under the assumption you had to put the corresponding one in because when I bought mine I was asked if I had RSE or not because it would only work with one's with RSE... this news is good news for people upgrading from non-nav vehicles

My Avalanche LTZ had bose/RSE but not nav so I upgraded. I had the VSS kit pre-installed from the factory in my vehicle though... I -thought- I had to buy it but when I did a little digging I found out that I already had it.

Where did you find the vss harness already in your tahoe? Was it visible or did you actually have to feel around for it?

So I was looking on line at eBay and they were selling the same gm nav part number that I got and it says that you have to have it programmed for the lux Bose amp. Is this true I just thought that I would need to have it unlocked. Now I have also read and this is where I fall short but that you have to hook up the tech2 download the vehicle info then unplug and use TIS or some thing like that to make the changes and then upload back to the tech2 then on to the vehicle. Am I right or did I miss something. This is all based on what I have read. Please help.

Man I don't remember it being this hard. I had my nav unit put in my Yukon without Bose or RSE and it programmed like a champ in about a half hour. (not at the stealership) although I have not found out how to install the vss harness. Any help on that?

VSS wire is on the back of the left I/P junction block (big covered block to the left of the brake pedal). Pop off the cover, squeeze the clips and swing the whole assembly out, then turn it around.

Looking from top to bottom, you'll have two large plugs (from top: "X1" & "X2") and two small ones at the bottom ("X3" & "X4"). The VSS lead is the green/white wire in pin H1 of plug "X2" which is the second large plug down from the top. This is almost dead center on the bottom row of this plug.

Connect this to pin 5 on the brown connector (X4) of the GM navi...

Well just got back from another trip to the dealer that makes 3 this one was about 60 miles away and no go! I do not know what the hell is going on. I did see there was a service bulletin out on the radio not being able to lean the new vin and that is where mine will fail. I told the tech doing it and the service manager and they looked at me like I was stupid. So I just call my audio guy and going to go aftermarket. Now with that being said I tryed to post it for sale and it will not let me. Any help there?
