Aftermarket radio
My truck has all the options for the radio except for the touchscreen nav. I'm wanting to put in a aftermarket that will have touchscreen nav, and Bluetooth but Im having trouble telling which if any will play nice with my factory sub, satellite, and rear entertainment center. I don't want to lose my rear entertainment, or sub. Anybody on here have the same setup as me and found an aftermarket that will play nice with everything? If so which one? Ebay has OEM nav radios but they're about $550 and Im not willing to spend that much.

For those who were watching this short thread and Summers in particular, I have found an aftermarket that will play nice with factory sub. XM will require a separate module as our factory ones are built in? So you would have to buy a module and transfer service to it. I have not found any that will play nice with rear entertainment system but I tested yesterday and if you unplug the Aux/premium sound plug from the radio the RES still works on its own but you cant listen through the truck speakers, headphones only. Which is fine with me because I cant see it anyways! So long answer short this HU is nearly as plug and play as you can get. You will possibly need an antenna adapter for the radio antenna depending on which plug yours has. Also the factory antenna has a powered signal booster which will not be powered through this HU so I recommend you use the blue amp trigger wire to power that. Other than that steering wheel controls, factory sub, ect "should" as I have read and been told by their customer service reps be plug and play! When I can get the money rounded up I will be buying one of these and will do a write up about the install. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016UL0WU0...I3Q2I5W7FA6A46
