I saw this on Vise Grip Garage, Derek install one in his truck. I liked the look and the install looked easy.
I ordered one on the jungle website, received it the next day. When I looked at the instructions, I saw all these wires and RCA connectors, I was thinking Oh no, what did I get myself into !!
After a few minutes, I realized, Oh this is going to be easy. I removed the stock radio last night.
I had the new unit hooked up and playing in like 10 minutes.
In 1st video I didn't know how to work it, the 2nd video show more.
The GPS worked great.
This is what it looked like with the dash put back in place.

Nice, did you use an adapter? I have been looking for a replacement for my Mustang, see several that will support the subs I have but haven't pulled the trigger.

It's nice when something actually ISN'T a PITA and goes smoothly.
Enjoy the upgrade!

The adaptor comes with the unit. You take the cable that was connected to the stock radio, and plug it into the adaptor that is hooked into the new touch screen unit. It's plug & play. .
When you order one, you simply select make & model & year of your vehicle. They send a unit with the correct connector and programming to match your cars features. If the steering wheel has radio controls, the touch screen can use those. It has a bunch of options you can program.

Boy, you said it, I didn't think it would be that easy, but it was. I'm still learning the system, trying out a casting app that lets you mirror your phone screen to the touch screen. That lets you access the music stored on the phone and what ever else you want.

Yes it's loud enough. It does give you the option to adjust the volume output. The Suburban has a separate factory amp that is still hooked up with the factory wiring. So yes, it's loud enough !

Nice fit. I just finished installing this Sony XAV100 in my car, picked it up for $80. I have the same radio in my Saab that I bought new back in 2017 or 2018. I really like the controls and the volume knob. Unfortunately it's quite rare to fit a radio with a knob nowadays.
