Sounds like your brother is getting lazy.

One thing missing is a good hands free bluetooth feature. Yes, I know I can use the hands-free mobile service offered through OnStar (which uses a separate mobile number), but it's not the greatest considering there is no caller ID, no voice mail, etc. It's only natural that anyone would want to continue using their existing cell phone, rather than have another (separate) number.
I'm hoping there's someone out there that has developed a great Bluetooth kit that integrates with the Denali's NAV system, audio, and the steering wheel phone controls, for a fully integrated experience. That would be a great experience.
Has anyone come across anything like that?

For now, it looks like my choices are something like Parrot or Raytel Tellphone, which require their own separate displays to be installed.

If you happen to have Verizon wireless service, they will integrate your existing wireless plan into the built-in phone service on the Denali. In other words, it will just take minutes off your existing number's plan whenever you use the phone in the truck.

We also just recently bought an 06 Denali and were chasing the camera thing as well to make it easier for me when hooking up the boat.
Check out JP Customs...they have a nice selection of cameras and the interface that switches your nav screen to the camera image when in reverse.

I believe on your truck the Onstar buttons are located right below the air vent that is to the right of the radio, correct? If so, then you could hook up a small color LCD screen in that location so that you can use it for a rear camera video feed (or some other video of your choosing)...
My main concern is the factory CD changer that is now useless. It was suggested that I mount a center channel speaker there like in home surround systems but I'd really rather put some kind of storage pocket. Another idea is some gauges that I've seen in magazines. I think it's 3 circular gauges that would fit perfectly in that space. If I did that I'd have to hook them up to something...nitrous maybe?
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks.
Dunno what to tell you about the drain plug, though...I'm sure someone more knowledgable will swing by to answer that.
Best of luck
Since I fish a lot of bass tournaments I need to hook-up my trailer in the dark, usually in the rain (live in Seattle area), so I'm wondering if I will have enough light with my backup lights for this? Any additional info would be helpful on likes/dislikes.
Thanks,
Marc

I can't seem to figure out how to change the background colors on the Nav screen ('05 Denali). The background color is black, no matter what I do. I've tried to set the colors to day/night auto, normal, 1, 2, 3, or 4 yet the background color is still dark. Roads appear to be white.
Can someone help?
Thanks!
Have not dropped the money yet...with all the hooking up to the boat I do alone, sure would be nice.
There is another model camera.,..mounts in the same location, but without the cover plate..for $200ish less.
Let me know if you go with this, I think I will, but may be a month or so.
Where is the model that is $200 less?

The lower mounting location of the aftermarket version may be better for lining up your hitch, but I wonder if the low angle decreases your rear view when backing down a ramp (or improves it?), and I also wonder if this location is smart in that if you aren't paying attention could the hitch on the trailer tongue hit the camera lens and break it? Any thoughts (we really need someone who has a rear camera chime in here with some first hand experience)!
ciao,
Marc
Did you ever get this problem fixed? If yes, what was it? I have the same problem with my 2003 Denali. I've traced it to the rear airconditioning fan which is never turning off. It runs very slowly once the vehicle is cut off. This draws ~1 amp, which kills the battery in a day of sitting without being started. I believe the problem is a relay that is not turning power off when the truck is off. Any help would be appreciated.

The Crossterrain SUV doesn't have an aggressive pattern which would contribute to road noise. Actually, it was rated superior in ride comfort and noise comfort.

The other camera is also at JP Customs...it is the piece that comes with a round billet aluminum mount (can be painted black) and mounts in the same location, just not with the bracket cover which is a cleaner look.
As far as the view, if you get on their website, you can find a pic of a monitor mounted up near the rearview that is a picture of the view you get with this lower location. It appears to be wide-angle enough to work just fine.
I thought about a higher mounting location, but do not want to drill out my rear door, and the other alternative was the license plate frame cams you can get. Concern there was it is more visible and potentially more likely to be swiped by someone.
I think the lower mount is where to start, if that does not work, I will likely drill out on the left side of the license plate as you are looking at the rear of the vehicle. There is already the key cover for the spare on the right, this may balance it out a bit.
Still have not committed to the $$$ though, but hooked up the boat the other day and got in and out of the truck at least 9x trying to make sure I did not mess up my rear bumper...has to be a better way!
IMHO--if you're more concerned about lining up the trailer tongue w/ the hitch receiver, the lower mounting angle would be your best bet...and to avoid the possibility of damaging the camera, you could always mount the camera inside the little "receptacle" right above the hitch receiver opening (I'm talking about the factory hitch receiver).
