AVIC-D3 questions

[mightbstock]

I just got rid of my 04 silverado which had the bose system. I had a Pioneer Avic D3 installed, and had the adapters which kept the factory steering wheel controls, onstar, the bose system, and the door chimes. I now have an 07 sierra denali classic. I removed the AVIC from my old truck in hopes of re-installing it in the Denali. My questions are: 1. With the AVIC, will i be able to keep the rear radio setup that the denali has. Its a crew cab, so the rear seat passengers have control over the radio and A/C, what is required. 2. The 07 has a 6-disc built in to the center console. Can I hook this up to my AVIC through the changer controls on the back? I know this was extremely long, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I used to be a Tech Support rep at Pioneer so I'll try and help. The AVIC-D3 has an external remote input. "PERIPHERAL" makes an adapter that will allow you to use your steering wheel controls with the AVIC-D3 or you could used that same adapter to use the rear controls on the AVIC-D3. You can't however, use both at the same time because you have to program the adapter to one set of controls. Pioneer does not make an adapter that will allow you to use the factory 6-disc changer on the unit. However, companies like SoundGate and PERIPHERAL specialize in these types of adapters. I would suggest you look on these companies' web sites and see if they make something that will apply to your application.
