Answer
if yuou can find the correct wiring harness and plug that into the 12 pin plug behind the radio it will work
you need a radio that comes with a BAND button and CD/AUX button, radios with am/fm buttons don't work
also the vehicle needs to go to the dealer and the radio flash memory needs to be reprogram
you need to use a gm scan tool for that

also the dvd needs to be from 2003 to 2006 only  2007 and is land-buss
