Way back, there was indeed talk of the kit being offered with various levels of the electronics packages; but they changed that.
The KTX-CMO is the only version, and it includes everything (incl. SWC interface) but the OnStar module.

And $349 seems to be a good intro price; it's what I've been doing for the local chapter C5'ers.

Not bad price for a touch screen controls and steering wheel control hook up

Looks like its bye bye to Onstar...Cellphone and AAA is good enough. Plus with good head unit you'll have NAv...

OK I Am really leaning towards this kit with the new price...so question...what doesnt the kit provide...I have an SS fully loaded, i dont mind losing on star..matter of fact thats a plus, however I do mind losing anything else !

I'm curious if we'll lose our back up sensors...

My local dealer ordered my kit without the on-star harness. said mid-november as well. If any of you other Arkansas people want the Alpine set up, call 501-329-6308...DeBoard Electronics. Ask for Chip.

I do have to agree that the Alpine and Scosch kits look better than the metra. But just an FYI the metra kit DOES include SWC and Onstar interface. I will be installing one once by backup Cam comes in from Amazon. I just looked over everything for preinstall and there is a module and 3 wiring harnesses that attach to the OEM harnesses in the dash, we'll see how well they actually do in a few days.

No disrespect, but is this a serious question.

ROB's 2011 2SS · 10-30-2011, 01:31 PM

Yes it is a serious question. I drive 60 miles to and 60 miles from work every day and sometimes my back starts to hurt due to me having back troubles ever since I was in kindergarden. It feels nice to have a massage every now in then. I already have a heated massage kit installed and I want to put in a double din stereo.
