I was at my dealership asking today picking up stock manifold gaskets for my silly leak i found. Then I remembered myLink and started asking questions to the parts guy, he said talk to service. I walked my happy butt down to service and she looked at me like i was a whale then I started asking about myLink.... Then said something really silly and I walked out the door laughing at her out loud and said how'd u get a job here.... I dont think she appreciated it, but wow... I think she absolutely knows nothing about a car other than how to turn a key over and make it noisy...


Needless to say, I'm friggin' subscribed yo.....

That's messed up. She works in service, all she does is type up your paperwork. And even if she did know about cars, she wouldn't know everything there is to know about every Chevy model. Can you tell me everything about a Sonic or a Malibu? Karma's a bitch man, and they know who you are. May want to put a tape recorder in your car next time you take it in.

Not messed up. Last time I took it in for oil change she tried to charge me 200 bucks! Promptly submitted a complaint to the dealership....

I'm buying one of these kits (+ heated seats + nav) as soon as 2SSRS makes it available for purchase!

If the head unit and faceplate approach $2,500, that would match other pricing. (The integrated MTX-powered subwoofer retails for over a grand.)

I'd consider the upgrade, provided I knew the items and steps needed to do it. Afterward, I'd probably offer my 2013's non-nav MyLink faceplate/head unit for sale at a deep discount. Maybe 2SSRS would offer some kind of trade-in? One can hope . . .

Hey I'm new to the forum but have been following your work on this nav swap.. Great job so far btw!!! I am very interested and want to purchase the kit after you have it all put together for my 2012 2SS/RS! If I could get a 13 rear view mirror that would be pretty sweet too ?!?!

I find in dash GPS to be a waste these days. Get a tablet or a phone even, with a decent data plan and a good nav. app. It's cheaper than upgrading your car to a nav. system and it stays up to date, looks better resolution wise, and you can do so many other things with it. At first I wanted this, but the more I think about it. My phone works just great, and I plan to get a tablet someday.

I agree, I don't care about the NAV features, but I just want the MyLink only.

The MyLink features are pretty nice. That's why I had also considered this mod in the first place. It will be nice once the car's DIY is even higher res and is more customizable. Or a full Multi colored HUD would be nice too.

Either way I applaud Ofer for digging into this mod, pretty awesome regardless of whether you want it or not.

The price will come down I'm sure....Ofer will put together yet another awesome combo for the conversion too I'd bet.

This will be wicked

I just find it second nature to always have a rolling map as I drive. My old car had it and I miss it. I have a couple smartphones, an Android tablet and an iPad, so I don't necessarily NEED an in-dash solution. But I WANT it. :-)

I all ready have the my link, the GPS would be killer, and yes I have several apps on my phone along wi portable GPS and on star as well. Oh yes I have unlimited plan as well grandfathered......come on now..really, you think I don't know about these things, heck I could buy an after market unit cheaper and better, but the factory NAV with my link is the sizzzzznits.

BTW, Ofer did a killer job with the dash ABL and the back up camera retrofit, so I am sure he will do the best possible with this system.
