I sent e-mails to all of the major audio companies this week, pioneer, alpine and so on. The only response i've got back so far that was not automated was kenwood. Here is what I got back.
Thank you for writing to us at Kenwood USA Corporation.
Unfortunately, there are no current plans to make head units compatible with
General Motor vehicles Driver Info Centers that are in some Factory head units.
If you have any further questions or need help with anything, please feel free
to contact us again.

Being GM is a big manufacture as they are it seems one of these companies would make something compatiable sooner or later. Maybe if we all who are interested in a navigation system/dvd headunit harass these companies more maybe it could speed the process up. If you know people that in cobalt areas put the buzz to them, it may not help, but it's worth the try.
I've thought about getting that double din unit from pionner and chopping up one of those aftermaket DIC units into a little box and maybe velcor it up out of the way and just get it out of the glove box or center console when you want to use it, basically a wired remote DIC. But that's a lot of money to be modding. Then again I need more excuses to justify that dremel i bought. I'm not going to cut the car.
