Just bought a 05 Armada LE. Any suggestions on any aftermarket systems/sites for sat. radio and navigation? I was told that it has the wiring for XM installed but the dash isn't setup for the factory nav system. Is it possible to change the center console or is that an expensive option? Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks for visiting NICOclub! Glad to have you here in the Armada/QX56 Forum!

Yes, your Armada is pre-wired for satellite radio. Either XM or Sirius (which is not bascially the same company). Yes, it would be extremely expensive to add in the factory Nav system, you would be better off going aftermarket or finding an Armada with the Nav on it. Cheers and glad to have you here!

Thanks for the confirmation. Any reccomendations on an aftermarket nav system. Have read up on Garmin a little.

I know a few people with the Garmin, and they love it.
