Need navigation bluetooth/onstar help
I have a 2011 Grand Sport 2Lt and want to add a navigation, looking at the Kenwood DNX7190 or the Pioneer z140.
my main issue is I dont want to lose the factory onstar phone feature and not sure how to save that when adding this unit and the steering wheel control module. I had a pioneer z1 in my 08 and i thought the phone feature sucked which is why i want to maintain the factory phone feature.
any help would be appreciated and advice on preferences for these 2 units would also be welcomed.
thanks everyone.

For a 2011 if you want to keep onstar you'll need the GMOS-04.
OEM BT is gone, you'll be using BT that comes with new HU.
Steering wheel button adapter model depends on which brand HU you get. SWI-PS for Pioneer, SWI-Jack for Kenwood.
I must admit that Kenwood Nav is much better, but I personally prefer everything else on Pioneer. Check out both at a local shop if you can.
