Not worth it. Get an Alpine, Pioneer, or some other aftermarket system with NAV. Better sound and NAV for less.

So You say. Doesn't make it true however. The factory tech package is EXCELLENT! I'm sure those systems you mention are fine system, but they cannot touch the factory system for overall quality and integration. Having the stereo, dvd, hvac, system monitoring, NAV, and rear-view camera all integrated into a seamless package would be very, very difficult to beat with an aftermarket system. Fact is, the rear-view camera is absolutely an awesome feature; with a large vehicle like the Armada having a camera is just sweet, hooking-up a trailer....SWEET, backing up an empty trailer down the boat ramp......SWEET!

So cheaper? Yes. Better? NO WAY!

I have the stock system. I've been a professional installer at a shop similar to Unique whips. The only difference was we didn't do the body stuff, only the electronics: stereo, alarm, phone, video, etc. It isn't worth the cost and effort to add the stock system to an SE. It would almost just be better selling the SE and buying a used LE with one in already. I like the setup, don't get me wrong. But you need to integrate all kinds of things, all of which need to be wired to work with it. It would truly be an expensive PITA and you could achieve similar results with aftermarket stuff for far less cost.

If you want to pursue it, here's what you do. Go to a dealer, ask how much the parts are, and how much installed. Take that amount and go to a quality aftermarket dealer and ask what they can do with the amount.
