There is one on ebay, but it is not cheap, 1500.00. Just so you know the 2012's have different wiring plugs and you cannot use one from 2011 or older from what I am told.

A better option is to get an aftermarket nav (Garmin based). Probably won't cost any more and will work a helluva lot better.

I have an 08 Tahoe with an after market pioneer radio.... Every couple days the whole radio powers off and the only way to get it back on is to pop the hood and pull the fuse to reset the whole thing. I had it installed by the dealer.... Is this a problem with the radio, truck or wireing???? Just really annoying please help if you have heard of this before! Thanks

I recently purchased a used 2010 Tahoe w/ bose and nav from my local Chevy Dealership. I feel that the dealership is jerking me around regarding the bluetooth feature not working. Here is the play by play on what I have going on.

--------------------

Dealership gave instructions on setting up bluetooth. When I hold the phone button it beeps and I say Bluetooth, and the system responds with "No Speech Detected".

Brought it back to the dealership 3 sales guys tried to help for about an hour with no luck. They had me bring it in to have the service team look at it.

When I showed up to pickup my car the sales manager informed me that there is nothing they can do to fix the bluetooth. He claimed that the Tahoe didn't come from the factory with the navigation and could have come out of any chevy. I did confirm his claims that the car didn't come with navigation originally when looking at the original window sticker.

However, I still have trouble believing that they can't get the GM nav to communicate with they system to enable to bluetooth. I am trying to get this escalated above the sales managers head. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Am I correct to assume that this should work?

Who installed the navigation system? Are you sure it was connected correctly? Since it is responding with "No Speech Detected", I suspect there is an issue with the mic connection.

You may want to have a certified technician look it over.

Keep us posted.

jstickle: Welcome to the forum.

It's not your fault that they sold you a truck that has a non-original Nav. They should take whatever measures it takes to fix it. It's not like it worked when you bought it so it's on their dime.
