howdy!
I have been reading this forum for the past 4 days trying to get some ideas on how to install a oem Nav and backup camera into my wife's 08 tahoe. It is a 1lt with out bose but has everything else. After reading many many pages from everyone I wanted to post and see if I have come up with the right idea!
I know i need to get a 08 nav unit and will need to purchas the oem camera (well i guess not the oem but i need a camera). After this it get a little fuzzy. I saw lots of people talking about the lockpick and the JPcustoms harness. I am thinking that i will get the GMX320 lockpick. Do i still need the JPcustoms harness? What about the voice rec. Hows does that tie in? Or in a 08 does it just work?
Thanks for the help and any suggestions are welcome!!

Gene,
Thanks for the doc's they helped a ton!! Couple questions for you. What JP harness did you buy? I see one for a nav kit is that the one? Also why do you need to hook wires between the onstar box and the Nav unit?
Thanks!!

Ok so I think I have everything figured out except now I talked to someone at JP Customs and they informed me that the NAV radio will not power my speakers since I am a non bose tahoe. He said that I will need to add a amp to the mix with a adapter they supply to get enought power to my speakers. Does this sound correct to people? If so has anyone done this and had sucess with any amp? I am thinking a 4ch 40watt amp should work well. Does anyone have any other suggestions.
