My technician sold his Sierra All-terrain this week. So he pulled all of his mods. One of them was his aftermarket NAV unit. He's has only had the unit since the end of last year and offered it to me.
I have the factory navigation and I am very pleased with it, but there are a few things that were not offered in 07 that I wanted (Bluetooth and iPhone/iPod support mainly).
I have had it less than a week, so I am still learning. There are a ton of options on this thing. Initial impressions are very good. There are a few functions on the factory unit I like better, but none of which are deal breakers and if I did not have them on the factory unit for so long I wouldn't even notice.
Stereo
Sound is very good. Much better than factory and a lot more tunable with the equalizer settings. It does have a xm tuner.
iPhone/iPod/Zune/etc
Pretty much any mp3 player can be played. Including videos from your iPhone and streaming video (Netflix) can be played.
NAV
I'm liking the NAV more and more as I play with it. If I would have posted this a few days ago I would not have been as positive. Now I do really like it and on have one minor compliant. You cannot do a split screen like factory. Half NAV half radio. This is not a big deal because I can count on one hand the times I actually used this with the factory unit but the fact that it's not there makes me want to do it all the time.
On initial start up it takes a few seconds for the map to load. From then on its instant when navigating between other screens.
Backup cam/sensors
The backup cam comes up very quickly. Even with initial start up before the splash screen has loaded even. Another feature that I really like is the backup sensor display. It puts a picture of a truck on the screen and shows you what sensor is picking up an object.
To sum up. I'm happy with the purchase. I think it's a worthwhile upgrade. I highly recommend it for those without NAV and want to add it. Those with NAV, I still think its a good upgrade. If you have factory NAV, with Bluetooth and iPod connectivity then I still think its a sound upgrade and a lot more customizable.
I'm more than happy to take pics/videos of functions if anyone is interested.
Here is a great FAQ page.

There are a ton of splash screen to choose from. This is the one I picked for now. Only takes about 10 min to change.
