I installed this into a 2013 Tahoe and all stock features worked as advertised, using provided cabling. Looks seamlessly stock, but has better features than Stock GM Navigation system. I had to splice into my factory rear camera at the rear-view mirror connector (Pins 6-white and 7-Blue) to use the Head Unit's RCA REAR-VIEW camera connection. You can also purchase a USB adapter to connect the New Navigation USB to the Truck USB cable for $3 on Amazon which will allow the USB connection in the console to communicate to your new Navigation unit for playing video/audio media. Maps were updated through May-2012 and can be updated through a micro-SD slot in the front. The menus are very simple to use and response between all Input/Outputs Navigation/XM-radio/DVD/Aux is extremely fast. I would highly recommend this system to anyone not wanted to shell out what the dealer is wanting you to pay for the GM Navigation System.
Update to others: The Unit comes very with little instructions, but there is a Forum at Simplesoft that will answer most installation related questions, as well as the owners manual for download. This Unit is known as the 80xx-II Model. xx in the model# determines what car it is fit for, but the software is the same for all. Simplesoft's forum link [Google search will find it by searching "Simplesoft Navigation"
Tips:
This $2 adaptor will allow you to connect the Nav's USB cable to the factory GM cable, so that the console USB port will connect to the Nav unit for playing your music in the DVD/USB mode. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FCDRR4/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
The cabling harness comes with 2 pairs of RCA connections which need to be connected together for the XM radio to have sound. There are several RCA cables, but look for the ones with XM on them.
If you have factory Bluetooth, I wouldn't bother with the Bluetooth offered with this Nav Unit. If you don't have Bluetooth, the Nav unit comes with the Mic that you can install to take advantage of the Bluetooth function.
Maps can be updated through Naviextras.com for about $70(This Nav Unit is listed on Naviextras as (Flyaudio USA 80-II). You would need to download the Naviextras Toolbox software, then it should recognize the Nav's MicroSD card on your PC....same as any other mobil navigation device. The MicroSD for the Navigation is location on the front panel of the Nav Unit.
