Scroll down to the 7th product . . . It says it retains Onstar and all the audio controls - sounds promising.

Nice, where can we order from. It's not showing up on their site.

Steve@Subthump · 12-07-2009, 09:42 AM

Nice find. Although metra doesn't show it on their own site yet:(

OUTATIME · 12-07-2009, 09:46 AM

Yea I noticed . . . that sucks. I want a close-up view of how this looks and see exactly how they retained Onstar and "all audio controls" which I hope means lighting options menus and other options etc.

Steve@Subthump · 12-07-2009, 10:25 AM

Usually a dash kit is only part of what is needed. The required harness is typcially sold separate and I don't see a harness or antenanna adapter there. I'd like to know how the harness retains all those functions if the radio is replaced. I would almost think that the radio would need to be re-located to the trunk like in some other cars, but I'm not sure what other functions go thru it.

Description says the interface is included.

True, but how does it work? Where would you put that interface and does it look cheesy? lol I guess that's my concern . . . I would almost guess that to keep the price reasonable they cut corners.

Walter Sobchak · 12-07-2009, 10:47 AM

This would be pretty awesome, they'll probably wait till ces and then release it

If you look closesly at the tiny ass picture it looks like theres push buttons on the bottom and some sort of digital display (probably 2 line) on top. I would assume thats how they do it.

Based on that pic it looks cheesy but it seems like the only cost effective way to go....

oachalon · 12-07-2009, 12:42 PM

maybe by the time i want to change out my aftermarket nav in my aura, the metra setup will be good to go and i can put the old radio in the camaro.

bmwdon · 12-07-2009, 01:54 PM

great info, I emailed the ne distributor for more info and pics. I'm not seeing a/c controls on the list of supported items on this faceplate?

bmwdon · 12-07-2009, 02:06 PM

already got a response, not a whole lotta help either..."sorry, nothing as of yet"....thanks man, how about an expected date or a "I'll check into it and get back to you"....sheesh. And if what ltaudio says is true, $500 is a bit rich for me for a push button setup, hope his comes out a little bit cheaper, at the very least, retain the knobs

FIREWOLFF · 12-07-2009, 03:49 PM

Talked to our rep and still CES release date lookin somewhere around $400.00 retail. Includes the harness and will retain all functions. Although he "thinks" its touch panel ac controls. He wouldn't elaborate.

bmwdon · 12-07-2009, 06:19 PM

good lookin' out. $400 is a bit better pricing, but I'm still iffy on the push button thing, need to see it before I can get off the fence
