2010 GS Vert Head Unit Replacement - ???
I have a 2010 GS Vert with the 3LT Package (Bose, etc.) Non-Nav. It has bluetooth, but as many know these older BT systems only transfer phone, not streaming music, etc. Also, the 2010 didn't have the plug for an audio or USB line in.
I am thinking about replacing the head unit but want something with equal or better amplification of the original head unit, and that will also allow for full BT compatibility AND use of my steering wheel controls.
Is there an aftermarket unit that allows for full functionality while maintaining complete use of the steering wheel controls; maybe even offering an added audio or USB line in?

There's many units that can replace your current system, Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood, Sony and others all make real good systems, I'm a Pioneer fan myself, I have the AVIC-8201 NEX system in mine, I can do everything you want and then some. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_130820...age.html?avf=Y Like VetteofSD mentioned you want to get the PAC RP5-GM11 interface module, https://www.crutchfield.com/p_541RP5...e.html?tp=3486 and you'll also want to get a dash kit for it such as this one https://www.crutchfield.com/p_120953...t.html?tp=3121 Installation is pretty easy (if you have experience with such things) Here's a guide showing how to install from this forum. https://www.corvetteforum.com/how-to...igation-368176

I would really like to have CarPlay/Android Auto since my wife's truck has that...it's a great interface! Do any of you think that replacing the head unit would devalue the car (since it's not "original")?

You can just keep the factory system and if you sell the car just pull out your new system and put the factory system back in it, that's what I plan on doing with mine.
