We went to a SoCal High School Football game last night. We had to park a distance from the stadium - it was supposed to be a big game. When we returned to the parking lot, we were part of a group of parents that had every GM Truck/SUV with a Navigation device burglarized. All the scumbags took were the Navigation/Radio units and the 3rd seat benches from the SUVs. I have to say they were very neat about how they took the units out and did not cut wires, steal head units or personal info. BTW, I never put private addresses in my GPS.
I was surprised they were able to bypass the factory alarm and get in so easily. My Silverado 2500 started right up and we went home - it turned out I could have the local Sheriff dept do what is called a courtesy police report so we did not have to stay as it was nearly midight. My 12 year old was furious and in the end the biggest lesson was an education for the kids. Ironically, I was not as upset as I thought I would have been. I'll file a claim on Monday.
What would an aftermarket recommendation be to replace the OEM unit. Looking for the following features:
Better Sound
Easy to use GPS without being locked out from address entry while driving
Watch DVDs while driving
Back and optional Front cameras - Front cameras are cool when I off-road.
XM & OnStar support
Bluetooth and enhanced Hands Free Telephone
Theft tracking if available
Android App Interface - No Apple interfaces (start flaming)
MicroSD
Any other suggestions
BTW, the wire harness is intact, they did not cut any of the wires.
