I want to replace the indash 6 disk changer in my 03 tahoe. Anyone out there who has a suggestion on what radio might match up best for this? I'd like something preferably with satellite radio and Nav ready. Any suggestions?

Not sure of your budget, but a double DIN unit such as the Pioneer AVIC D3 would go nice in there. It's a touch screen unit with navigation, DVD, XM and Sirius capability, and will control and charge your Ipod with the optional Ipod cable interface. I just installed this unit into a customer's 03 Yukon the other day. He wanted both XM and Sirius services, Ipod, and a reverse camera installed also. It's a nice unit and is very popular in my area. You can shop around and should be able to find this unit for under $1000.
FYI, you are going to need a Class II Databus interface wiring harness to install any aftermarket radio into your Tahoe (applies to all 03-up GM trucks). These get pricey, especially if you have Bose and/or want to retain your On-Star.

I too wanted the Nav system, I got the Kenwood DNX7100 it is a Garmin based nav system, I went with the Sirius versus XM (Need my NFL Channel). Was able to keep my steering wheel controls, and added the bluetooth feature, and IPod Connection. Only thing I could not talk my wife into was the back up camera. It is pricey but I like it.

How are the steering wheel controls? Do they function the same as before? Do you have the On-Star integrated as well? I have been considering going Kenwood and using PAC accessories to integrate into existing configuration. Any input would be great.:)

The steering wheel controls will function just like before with most aftermatket brand name units as long as you use a steering wheel control interface like the PAC or Peripheral interface.
