No worries. Glad to help.
Forgot to mention that accessing the satellite antenna isn't hard. You just need to lower the back of the headliner a bit. The two coat hooks are the primary points as I recall. Take them out and it should lower enough to get your hand in there and to see some. I have the sliding glass window. So, that made it easy to get to the antenna from the truck bed.

From my limited research so far, it looks like if I want to take advantage of Bluetooth streaming I would need the 430N or 730N radios. In my case, for my truck (2008), the Low speed version radios, not the high speed.
The 230 series doesn't apparently support Bluetooth streaming, though Infotainment may clear that up in a reply to my support question.
Either way, I'm now more inclined to be saving for a radio upgrade.
Thanks again on the tips for what to expect on the antenna. That is also helpful as it may push me over towards doing the 730N (single antenna connection). Then of course my next issue would be the need to make sure that I get the maps upgraded on the radio.
One last question if anyone happens to have any info here - when I was searching on the radios on eBay, I saw multiple mentions of "security codes" and needing same. What's the deal with that?

The security codes are anti-theft codes. See the attached link for an explanation of when they started to appear. (https://www.infotainment.com/blogs/n...dios-explained)
