Talk to Dennis at double d mods he will point you in the right direction. Ever since I changed my head unit I no longer have"chimes"

I swapped out the 6 CD changer radio(standard on 3lt in 2009) and put in a Pioneer Z130 nav unit. My chimes sound just terrible, not sure why, but I can live with it. All of the features of the radio work as advertised, the backup camera is nice, but the blue tooth with my HTC phone is terrible. People cannot hear me on the other end and they say it just sounds like static. It is really uselesseddie

Well, you'll need to purchase an interface module (PAC OS-2C Bose, for example) to retain your OnStar, factory chimes and RAP. You'll also need to include a GM antenna adapter and an interface module to retain (or add) steering wheel audio controls, if you want to use those. You'll need a SiriusXM tuner if your new unit is satellite radio capable and you want to subscribe. You'll need a dash kit (Metra has one that is a good match to the factory bezel) and an iPod cable is a nice addition, and you already have the back-up camera. That should about cover it, I think.

If you have a '09 or later model, you will lose your factory bluetooth. And the nav integration with the HUD will be lost for all models. Your aftermarket unit probably is bluetooth capable, so you'll get that back. (I have a Kenwood nav/audio unit in my '08 and the bluetooth works great).

Yea,it has all the interface stuff already since I needed it for the other cars but not sure I want to install it now after reading all this.

nothing to be worried about
as long as you have the correct items to install and its wired correctly it will be much better than stock.

The chimes can be adjusted on the module for volume

What module? What chimes? If I lock the keys in the car you mean?

Just do it, you will not regret it. I have an Alpine in mine with nav. So much better than the Bose and with more accessories.

If I remove the stock NAV unit in my 2LT WHAT HAPPENS?

You don't get lost.

A chime sounds to alert you to DIC messages, warns when doors are open. And I think the turn signal and hazard flashers work through the factory radio so those are lost without a chime module.

I replaced the stock nav unit in my 06 with a Pioneer unit and loved it. I just traded for a 2013 and I'm having it put in the new car. The HUD integration didn't work but that was a non issue for me. Bluetooth worked great. It's a shame these factory units are so bad.

if you have HUD you will lose the Nav feature.

hope it doesn't morph into a Delorian
