It'd be too hard for me to watch my driving with all those screens.

i'm considering this operation as well, but have been told by 2/4 places that Onstar service will be lost. the other 2 said there are kits and the like to keep the Onstar service.

did you guys successfully keep onstar while adding full-frontal movie capacity?
