Hey Lisa,
I did keep my subscription to Sirius/XM. When I ordered everything from Crutchfield they told me I was not able to use the existing GM XM antenna. I had to install a new one that they I had to purchase sepaerately with the whole package. You do need the SiriusXM tuner/antenna. Make sure you get the ready harness to simplify the install. Works great and it's fantastic!! You won't be sorry! Good luck!
This is what I bought...QTY PRICE
Kenwood Excelon DDX9907XR 1 $899.99 
Metra 95-3304 Dash Kit 1 $6.15 
PAC RP5-GM11 Wiring Interface 1 $73.83 
SiriusXM SXV300V1 Tuner 1 $69.99 
Crutchfield ReadyHarness™ Service 1 $24.99 
Accele RVCLPMBS 1 $79.99 
Bojo Trim Panel Tools 1 $11.99

Where did you place your Sirius antenna? I have soon some on the dash in the corner. Not wild about that idea but if I have to then I have to. Lisa

the more I read on people’s head unit installs the more I am thinking it might not be something I can tackle. Hate to do it but I will probably have to get a professional install it. I am going to do the install and run the wires for a back and front cam myself because I want it done without drilling in my car.
thanks again for the information.
I love all you peeps on here

HUD still works. But like Suplumr said, you lose any head unit related info through the HUD. For me, it was a non-issue and well worth it in exchange for all the other features I gained.

In my case I never used the native NAV or even the radio to be honest (enjoy LS7 soundtrack).
I’m just replacing the head unit to have cameras, Bluetooth and modern NAV.
oh, and the Torque APP

Yes, that’s the one.
I have my head unit (Xmas present to me) but unfortunately it’s not installed yet.
The car is hibernating elsewhere for the winter.
The app can be installed on the head unit (android) and is displayed on the screen.
The head unit came with some accessories including the OBD2 thingy https://www.eonon.com/m-ProductShow....roductNo=V0056
