DIY'er looking for guidance with 1st major Stereo Install

Ok. So i've just bought this 05 GMC Envoy XUV. It's got the Bose stero with touch screen DVD based navigation. It sucks. Bad. There is no current Navigation DVD. It's a single disc system, so even if i had a new NAV CD I would have to remove it to listen to a CD. It just sucks. So I want to replace it. I'm looking to go with a double din touchscreen unit. I want one that has bluetooth, USB, Aux, CD/MP3 and is XM ready. Something that will work with my Iphone or my wife's Android. Something that is compatible with the Bose system, keeps my Onstar and my steering wheel controls and that won't interfere with the chime and warning systes. My local installer wants almost $800 bucks to put int a $300 unit. Seems a little steep. So, I want to do it myself. I'm a very capable mechanic and electirician but i've not had alot of experience with stero systems. So what i'm looking for is advice on what type of equipment i should be looking at. Maybe brand or model suggestions. Even a handy dandy how to guide would be nice. So. Any experts out there willing to let me bend their ear?

dash kit: 99-2003 $12.99
harness: GMOS-04 $99.99
antenna adapter: 40-gm10 $10.99
Steering wheel control: ASWC $53.99
TOTAL: $180.96
INDASH DVD LABOR: $99.99
STEERING WHEEL CONTROL LABOR: $59.99
TOTAL W/INSTALLATION: $340.94
add in your 300 dollar radio and you are at $640.94 before tax, saving your $160 compared to your local installer. 
those are the parts that you are looking at to complete that installation without losing any of your safety chimes for your vehicle.  unfortunately since we offer the service here in our stores no-one will be able to give you any information on how to do the installation, or tips/tricks. iour workmanship is covered for the lifetime of the vehicle along with a timely installation taking around 2 hours, and peace of mind knowing that if anything were to go wrong than any best buy in the NATION will be able to assist you.   Hope this helps you out,  if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to let me know! thanks for the question and welcome to the community!

    Hi,
    From your description, you want to achieve the following goal:
    Configure Exchange to filter the attachments if the size is over 10 MB and store it in a public folder, and then forward the email to Salesforce.
    Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid that it can't be achieved. Exchange can filter messages with attachments, but it couldn't store these attachments on public folder automatically. Also, I don't see any transport rule can do it.
    Hope my clarification is helpful.

  • Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).

    Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).
    Problem - SFDC does not create cases from emails that have more than 10 MB of attachments. Our clients will not go-live if their clients cannot send in emails with attachments over 10 MBs
    Potential resolution - Configure MS exchange to strip off the attachments(if over 10 MB) and store it in a public folder, forward the email to Salesforce (so the case gets created or the email
    is associated to an existing case), the client should have some way to know if the attachments were stripped off and should be able to dlownload the attachments and continue with case resolution.
    Any help is appreicated!
    Thanks

  • HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

  • SpaceX is looking for engineers with LabVIEW experience in Hawthorne CA (LA area)

    SpaceX is looking for engineers with LabVIEW programming experience for our Launch group. Our responsibilities include:
    Controlling launch pad equipment via PXI/LabVIEW
    Commanding and monitoring our Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 rockets via a LabVIEW-based Vehicle control system
    Commanding and monitoring our Dragon capsules via a LabVIEW-based Mission Operation system
    Ocean recovery of Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 stages after liftoff and Dragon capsules after splashdown
    Cargo configuration of Dragon capsules going to resupply the International Space Station
    Maintenance of Mission Control Centers with the help of our IT department
    With the exception of the launch pad equipment program, most of our LabVIEW programs do not interact with DAQ hardware (unusual, I know). The Vehicle control and Mission Operations software get their data via Ethernet from 'black boxes' that connect to NASA & Commercial RF ground stations. We also create several utility programs in LabVIEW that also don't interact with hardware. So, this is mostly a software gig, not a hardware/software gig.
    Ideal candidates will have the following qualities:
    CLD-level LabVIEW experience
    A good understanding of basic computer networking (TCP/IP, UPD, firewalls, VPN)
    Must be enthusiastic about space (What year did we land on the moon? How many men walked on the moon? How many Space Shuttles do we currently have? etc.)
    Must be willing to travel. Common destinations include Houston (NASA Johnson Space Center), McGregor TX (test site), Cape Canaveral FL (launch site), Kwajalein Marshall Islands (launch site)
    Must be able to work without supervision. We have a very flat management structure, no one will be telling you what you need to do. If you don’t know, ask. If you do know, get it done.
    About the job:
    Job is located in Hawthorne, CA in the Los Angeles area.
    This is not a 9-5 job. There will be some late nights.
    You won't be LabVIEW only. Everyone chips in as needed. Our group has done Javascript, C++, MATLAB, configuring of TELEX comm systems, cutting of metal with bandsaws, welding, Unigraphics CAD, etc. If we need it and you don't know it, grab a book and learn.
    We are only hiring full time employees. Contractors need not apply.
    To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, SpaceX hires only U.S. citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents.
    Apply at SpaceX.com. Click the Careers button and fill out the general application. Mention this posting in the cover letter field. Don’t reply to this forum. You need to go to SpaceX.com to get your information into our system.

    There is a job posting up now at SpaceX.com. Go to the careers tab and search for LabVIEW.

  • I don't use Photoshop - looking for software with similar functionality to Photoshop's Pixelbender / Oil Painting.  Any suggestions?

    I don't use Photoshop, I'm an Aperture guy.
    I'm looking for software with similar functionality to Photoshop's Pixelbender / Oil Painting. 
    I'm especially interested in the bending of the pixels, along the lines of impressionist paintings - think van Gogh.
    Any suggestions?

    If you are interested in computer simulated drawing and painting effects, have a look at the "ToonIt!" plug-in for Aperture. This will do some of the basic work for you, but you will have to do quite a lot of editing afterwards, to turn the image into a piece of art.
    It might be easier, to do most of the drwing and painting yourself in the first place - ArtRage Deluxe is very versatile, if you have a large trackpad and pen.
    For example: Applying a light ToonIt! effect "Impressionist2": The diagonal
    cross-pattern is due to "Demo" mode - I have not yet bought the plug-in - it is rather expensive:

  • Class not registered. Looking for object with CLSID:

    Hi,
    I had create a custom project system with the help of https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/cc512961.aspx. And which is working fine that I can create a project with extension of .myproj in the VS Experimental Instance window. But when I go for
    the properties in the created project, (Solution Explorer: Right click on the project folder and select properties) it will show an exception that "Class not registered. Looking for object with CLSID:{00000-00-00-000000}" How can I provide Properties
    window for this project system or can I modify the Properties window for any other default VS project system? Please help me.

    Hi mathikp,
    I don't think you did something wrong while creating the project, but instead it could be the issue of environment, I would suggest you to validate following things:
    1, Try to create another blank app to see if the exception still thrown.
    2, Run with an administrator privilege to check if you can get the project work..
    I would not consider its as a coding issue but try to fix Visual Studio probably helps.

  • I can't get Safari to load period. It quits immediately. According to the troubleshooting, I'm to un-install any third party plug ins. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? I don't recall installing anything that wasn't an upgrade.

    I can't get Safari to load period. It quits immediately. According to the troubleshooting, I'm to un-install any third party plug ins. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? I don't recall installing anything that wasn't an upgrade.

    Unplug your iBook from the AC power, shut it down and take the main battery out for about fifteen minutes. Then you can put the battery back in, plug the power back in and restart. This should reset the USB and FireWire ports.
    If that doesn't help, you could reset the Power Management Unit. Follow the instructions in Knowledge Base Article #14449 for resetting your PMU.
    You probably should also startup from your Mac OS X install disk and run the Disk Utility to "repair disk" on your hard drive. This will determine if you've got some kind of file directory/software problems with the files on your hard drive.

  • Can AirPort express be used for AirPlay with my home stereo, and to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via ethernet, simultaneously?

    I am considering buying an airport but I am not sure if it will work how I would like it to.  I need it for two things.  The first would be to use for AirPlay with my home stereo.  The second would be to use as a way to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via the ethernet port.  I would like to do these things simultaneously, rather than constantly changing the configuration and being limited to a single function each time I do so.
    Thanks!

    The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, it would join an existing wireless network and its Ethernet port would be enabled for a wired client, like your Xbox 360. This configuration would also support AirPlay simultaneously.

  • The software for communicating with ipod is not installed correctly..

    Everything used to work fine on my laptop. I'm fairly sure it was after I had uninstalled Zune crap from my laptop when my iTunes started messing up and saying "the software for communicating with ipod is not installed correctly".
    I've searched the whole internet front to back about this error and most things I find are from 2005'ish. I've tried changing the registry permissions, reinstalling itunes, clearing out everything that has to do with itunes, doing all the msconfig things, manually starting the ipodservice.exe.
    I still cannot figure it out and I've had this error for like 3 months. Only thing that I notice that MIGHT be odd is that I'll have ipodservice.exe running (from System) and when I open iTunes another ipodservice.exe will open (from my username) and then close after a few seconds and then I plug my ipod up and bam, the error from above comes up. Anyone have any clue? Like I said everything worked fine at one point!
    Thanks!

    Another thing is that iPod Touch shows up fine...I've tried every other ipod from older 4gig Nanos to 120gb Classics and none of them work..this is really annoying!

    I have even went to the homesite to download the updates and the newest version of ipod manager.
