yes, there is a GM LAN interface controller, 119 bucks, but retains all functions, OnStar still mutes radio and plays through front speakers. If it were not for this, i would not have gone aftermarket. And then yes, the steering wheels controls are a different interface box as well. Like in my SS the steering wheel control interface had an IR transmitter which worked as a regular remote, but on this one, the interface plugs right into a port on the radio so glare/sunlight in a convertible will not affect it.

And, even with solid state, seems max is 127GB and must be formatted in FAT32. ill def be looking into it in the future. For this though, someone that knows more about computers, drives, formats, etc would be helpful. i read that the 127GB max is due to the headunits ability to load a "table" off the drive so its able just to find stuff, any larger that 127 and it wont load the device at all.
