Well, my '09 has the 8 airbags, AA5 body, but didn't have the auto dim mirror or the USB radio. It had the 3.5mm input plug that works for my iPhone (same as for iPod). I upgraded to a USB/3.5mm radio and a auto dim mirror. I have full OnStar, but no bluetooth. Only SS models have that (I think). I had the vinyl steering wheel, upgraded to leather with full control buttons. It would be nice to be able to get it all factory installed before I got it, but not so lucky.
Going to keep your email and address info in my databank JUST IN CASE I have to see someone in Court. You did all the footwork for the rest of us. Great job, Pathfinder!
BTW, regarding the mirror. It's a straight plug-n-play operation. A no-brainer.

just a few things to clear up all the misconceptions about options: 1) The usb port, if it has it. Is on the radio not in the compartment. It will be on the right side of the radio (where aux normally is) and aux will be on the left. The usb is nice because you can control the ipod through the steering wheel buttons and it charges it. (usb is a $100 optional upgrade) 2) Bluetooth is available w/ the leather wheel. Needs leather heated seats upgrade (for 1lt), unless it is the 2lt or ss model. 3) side airbags are standard.
Click here to see the difference (have to type in zip then select 2009 chevy ect.) in ls vs 1lt vs 2lt. Personally I would make sure it is at least a 2lt if they did not specify. 1lt pretty much only adds the body colored mirrors. 2lt adds chrome package, running boards, bluetooth, leather wheel w/ buttons, leather shift knob boot, 2.4 liter engine, chrome exhaust tip, fog lamps, sport suspenion, auto dimming inside rearview mirror, 7 speaker pioneer system, aluminum wheels instead of hub caps. That pretty much covers it and all that would be worth findng a 2lt. If you are going to upgrade on GM's dime, might as well go as big as you can. Then the only thing you might be missing are usb, sunroof, and rails but hey I am sure you can find a 2lt w/ most of those anyways. Even if you have to take 2nd or 3rd choice of color to get all the options would be worth it IMO.
Good luck and sorry for the long post. Though it is filled w/ info
