![]() I'm also pretty cutting edge by having a brand new CarPlay/Android Auto-ready headunit. in the four days it took to do this task by myself, working hard in a hot garage! But the result is fantastic. The Good: I couldn't have done this install as smoothly as it went without the weeks of researching this forum and all the hard work so many people have done documenting and troubleshooting their own installs.

I knew if I was going to do this, I was going to do it right. So, I spend a few weeks planning and ordering parts. I do remember being satisfied when I had it on my first Solstice 10 years ago. If I had the Monsoon, I may never have upgraded. On the other hand, I now had the need and motivation to do a proper upgrade. On one hand, I had to deal with crappy sound for three months. It ended up being a blessing and a curse. Couldn't believe someone would order this car loaded and skimp out on the premium sound. I bought an '09 GXP in April and it had every option I wanted.
