I know its an old car, Is there a way to tap into the back of the Nav Radio in order to utilize the big Nav screen for a back up camera? Or possibly connect to the video input in the rear of the center console? I was looking at lockpick but site says discontinued. Thanks Ernie

I have a couple sources to do what you are wanting to do. Unfortunately neither of them have any solutions for that particular vehicle.

I have an 05 CTS-V and I ended up replacing the LCD screen with a higher resolution unit.

However, I also had to "hack" the video feed as it was using a composite sync method.

I settled on a video game board to interface to the OEM video and turn it into VGA with separate vertical and horizontal sync.

The result gave me a compatible display with the OEM radio plus rear and front cameras and an auxiliary VGA input.

WIN WIN.
