2008 Armada Radio Upgrade Options?

[Cmbasu]

Just purchased a used 08 Armada. Love it! One thing I realize now though is how hard it is to replace the radio deck. Interested in getting something with XM and will allow for hands free calling, Bluetooth, and iPod/IPhone connections. Would love to still use the steering wheel controls as well. I know...I know.. I'm asking for a lot bu I'm sure others have faced similar problems with this SUV

I have the SE version. Came with the 6 disc changer. No Bose and no NAV.
Any suggestions??? Please.

I have a Pioneer Z100BT, and have full use of my steering wheel controls.

Thank you for the info don. What happens with the display that's in my car now? The display sits above the six disc changer/radio currently.

I did not have the Display. Here is what my dash looks like:

That looks great. My problem is that mine comes with the built in display

Last I heard is that the 08 and up haven't figured out how to replace the unit as the hvac controls and display are integrated into the unit cause I have the same problem with ours. I have seen someone add another headunit to it though.

Thank you for the reply.. That is the same problem that I have. Ahhh.. Its so frustrating. Just want to be able to have an updated deck that can get XM, and Bluetooth.

Just add another headunit in the cubby at the bottom of the dash. I think that's probably the only way your going to get it. And the one I saw didn't look bad and it'll get You what u want.
