2016 Silverado GPS link


Recommended Posts

When I bought the vehicle I was told that there would be a software update in March or April 2016 that would allow me to connect my Garmin into the system and it would be displayed on the infotainment screen. I've checked several times and the dealer says no update for the Silverado. Anyone else able to connect theirs ? Mine did not come with GPS installed. Thanks, Rick

Salesmen, salesmen, salesmen! When will you people learn! They will tell you ANYTHIG to make the sale.

 

 

Ha, I agree. When I bought my Camaro a few years back I asked the salesman if the car had projector headlights (at this time we were in the office and I couldn't remember). He told me it did and I signed all the papers, etc. When I learned it in fact had only reflector housing, I went back to them and said "You told me one thing, and it was another." In the end they did the right thing and installed the projector lights, which I thought was good of them. I realize part of that was on me for not double-checking, but there should also be some level of trust... Not saying you'd get this app installed because this is a little different, but worth a conversation with them if they mislead you to believe this. May be able to get some form of accessory for your truck or something for this mis-information.

MikeNH is correct, my 2500 HD allows me to connect my Android device via USB cord and project via "Android Auto" app to view my GPS on the screen. Bit of a data hog and at times the setup seems buggy when yiu first plug in but all in all not a bad compromise if you don't want to upgrade to the fancy head unit that is available for most new Chevy models. I searched high and low because at first I though I had true navigation until I realized what I had was 'OnStar Illusion' lol. This is the only option I'm aware of and haven't heard anything about actual GPS integration.
