Head unit with GPS
Looking for a head unit with GPS that will retain all my factory sync xm steering wheel controls and backup camera. Can I use a factory unit or do I need to buy aftermarket. If aftermarket what all will I need?

A Maestro compatible Aftermarket HU with gps, will retain oem features. Like Sync, Steering wheel controlls, and mic.
I had a Kenwood 892 HU with garmin Nav, and dvd, in my 12 xlt and loved it. The 892 also had HD Radio, plus 2 extra usb inputs 1 for Apple products, and another for mass usb devices.
Refer to Crutchfield.com, for options you like and what fits your truck!

Pics... If you truck already has Sirius Radio, you can use the oem antenna. But, you need to buy a new XM/Sirius Tuner, theyre like 29.99.
I got all my stuff from crutchfield, which took the guess work out and added all the wiring harnesses, needed to make the HU work how I wanted with Sync and SW Controlls.
I had the Scosche Bezel for the Hu, as it looks the cleanest, vs the Metra bezal.

I went to Crutchfield and configured everything I needed based on their recommendations. I was almost going to buy from them and then priced everything through Amazon and saved $200 by buying the same exact items Crutchfield was going to sell me for $200 more.

So Toddman34 you say I need tuner and they have them for like 20 bucks at crutchfield? Are you talking about the antenna adapter that will let me use my factory xm antenna? But I will still need the xm tuner also correct?

All you need is a xm tuner, if you already have Sirius, the oem antenna connects to the new tuner.
