This DIY is to backwards integrate a 2013 Cruze MyLink touchscreen system into a 2011 or 2012 Cruze.
What you get- You get voice activated indexing on your USB, your touchscreen. You also get stitcher and Pandora streaming. I did not hook up the rear view camera, so can not tell you if that if functional. The harness does have the connection for it though.
Parts you will need:
Silver Box(Receiver): 22965237
Bezel: 95216932
Display Info Display: 22851302
You will need a harness kit from MVI- that will set you back $249. They are also going to include the twimax and the other required USB Cable. Factory Navigation Systems - Cars n Trucks Best DVD GPS Navi

Also, to know you will need to send your silver box over to GTPrix for programming. He’s a member on here, but this is his site: Welcome to White Auto and Media Services I believe he is charging $199 for that service.
First off, you need to open up the existing system to get the old radio and display unit out.

You don’t need a special tool to get the vent unit out. I used a butter knife.
Once you get it open, go ahead and remove your control panel, receiver and display unit and set them aside.
Harness Connector that goes to your control panel. Add pins 5-8 on the bottom, and pin 3 at the top. It is a locking connector so you can punch out the pin in the middle they become really easy to connect.

Under glove box- You will run the red wire from the center console behind the glove box to the right hand side of the car. There is a connector in the wheel well behind the glove box. It is like 2 inches from the passenger wall. You need to look straight up from below(if possible) but visibility is terrible. I had to feel my way around here to get it hooked up.

Disconnect USB to the PDIM below the shifter. You will need to pull the side panel off the center console. You will connect your USB to directly to the receiver unit using the cable from MVI. The Bluetooth is integrated in the receiver.

Now we can start connecting everything up. You want to put do your connections but don’t bolt anything in until everything is connected otherwise you will run out of room. I ran my harness and twimax around the back of the support of the display unit. I didn’t have enough room to try to get it in front.
Do this connection FIRST in the 44 pin receiver harness. You will need to add pin 43 to this unit. 43 is 2nd to the right at the bottom of the harness.

I put the connector into the back of the Receiver harness, and then add the pin in there afterwards. Do this first otherwise you’re going to run out of room later. Add your other connections to your receiver now(2 antenna pins, voice recognition unit and twimax).

I did the connections to the info display unit next. Now- your old connection to the display unit goes into the harness, and the harness duplicates this connection into the back of your display unit. Your other connection to the back of the display unit is the twimax. Once you’ve connected these two, you are fair to fire up the unit for a test. You should see the myLink screen at this point.

Should you be good, bolt in your receiver and display unit. Run another test with your control panel. If that is good, then put it all back together!

Final disclaimer- The connections were properly fixed after these photos were taken (with quick connects or solder).
