Default Thinking of Upgrading the Audio System in my Silverado

I am considering an upgrade to the stock audio system in my 2008 Silverado. I currently have the higher end option with GPS Navigation, Bose speakers and rear seat DVD Player. Looked on Best Buy and saw the Pioneer AVIC-X850BT on sale for $499, regular price is $799. Reviews are pretty good. I want BlueTooth and the ability to add a backup camera which this Pioneer unit has.

Anyone have experience with this unit?

What do you all have experience with and like/dislike?

Dave

You might have an issue with the Bose system speakers working. Call Crutchfield and see what they say.

Looks like you can use this back up cam with your existing radio in your truck

And this module will use the onstar equipment already in your truck plug and play

Let me know what you do and how you like it, I was contemplating the same upgrade for my 08 sierra denali I just got.
