(More customer reviews)I installed this unit in my 2010 Yukon SLT last night and I am very happy with what the unit offers. I removed a real GM Nav Radio and replaced it with this Rosen and like it way more than the GM original. For one thing the GPS is much nicer, the factory only worked with a North up orientation, which I hate, when your going south you will end up turning the wrong way. This unit has a nice 3D screen, more radio presets and a DVD player (which I will most likely never use). The GPS screen is not the most colorful I have ever seen, but that is of no real importance to me, although I know that some people may not think it is "cool" enough for them. It does have IPOD controls and hooked right up to my XM without any problem at all.
As far as the install, well, I did it in less than an hour. All you have to do is use a putty knife to pull the trim piece around the radio off, a 7mm nut driver to remove a total of 8 screws from the radio bracket and your heater controls underneath the radio, and one 7mm screw on the drivers side trim piece between the door and windshield where the tweeter is mounted. The new radio has interface cables that plug directly into the factory cables (takes less than 3 minutes for that part) and hook the GPS antenna to radio, plug in your AM/FM antenna and you are ready to mount the unit back into the dash. The radio will have more wires because of the wiring harness, so you have to tuck the harness back into the small opening behind the radio. Put the temperature control units back in place before you put the radio in place and then tighten up the 8 screws, put your trim piece back on and all you have left is mounting your GPS antenna. I ran the wire underneath the dash, through the fuse box and under the trim piece that holds the tweeter and let the antenna peek put the trim in the very front of the window next to the VIN plate. At that point you just put back the screw holding the side post trim piece and you are all done. It hardly takes any longer than it took me to write this review. You do not have to cut and splice one single wire. The best part was when I turned the unit on, everything worked perfectly.
