Like the title says, I took a gamble on a $40 MyLink radio and installed it into my 2012 Impala.

Blast from the past, hi Kevin.

'Sup, man!  It has been a while.  I feel I need to post up a reintroduction!!

Waiting on a reverse wiring harness to harvest the pins from.  Found a PDF online of a '13 Traverse owners manual.  Turns out there's another menu you can access when the radio is set to FM, and contained within there's an option to switch HD radio on or off.  Well wouldn't you know it, my radio had that menu option.  Switched it on and hot damn, I have HD radio!!

Made the connections to the OnStar box today!  This really is a cool radio, especially being that it's plug-n-play.

My next thought is to buy another radio like this, procure a PAC LAN29ON module and try installing it in my 04 Impala.  Would be interesting to see if the LAN29 of the radio would communicate with the Class 2 bus in the 04...
