Just ordered the following:

Head unit: Kenwood Excelon KDC-X794
Other: Pac Audio ROEM-VET1, GM Antenna adapter, Blank faceplate
Cost: $240

want to eventually replace the speakers but i will get there in time. For now i just REALLY want ipod integration and given the radio was almost the same price as the Pac unit it made no sense to invest in the stock HU.

Do all your OEM controls still function, like Blue-tooth from teh steering wheel, all otehr ?

What doesn't work - HUD w/ nav ?

I'm about to re-think the whole stereo / nav revamp on my 2010 and don't really want to go back-wards on features I alreay have.

You need to start a new thread with questions like this

If you buy the right interface adapters you don't loose much.

Steering wheel buttons can be used if you get a HU that can use an adapter, but bluetooth buttons become more radio control buttons, they can't be used for BT.

HUD integration is lost, but you won't miss it if you get a HU with a sexy voice
