  1. OK - My rig is now back up to speed - I waited until the part (new antenna) was in Stock, painted to match, and ready to install. Took it in This Morning at 9 AM. It was done by Noon. Just picked it up - and it works fine. Rainy day here in the Pacific Northwest - so we'll see if the part is redesigned to accomodate the water issue - Anyhow - success on mine. Now to grouse with Onstar about extension of their "free Trial" services. Wish me luck. Thanks all for the info and support on these issues.
  2. Mine is a tahoe - but I think the antenna / onstar setup is the same. I am told I have water in the antenna - I have not seen it entering the cab as some have at the headliner / visor points. The initial symptom was a failing GPS unit. I am noticing a bit of condensation on the windshield now at start up.
  3. the thread for the failing antenna onstar module is located here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/168031-compass-gps-nav-and-onstar-all-failing/page-4?do=findComment&comment=1559219
  4. I used this uploader to post to a thread about bad navigation systems in 2015 shark fin antenna
  5. love my new profile picture of my Tahoe skimming amphibiously across the Puget Sound. I cant figure out how to put images on this page - lets see if this works.. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/gallery/image/11165-surfing-tahoe/
  6. Best I can figure from the door pillar sticker is 10/2014 on mine.
  7. there is another thread on this forum site - and its affecting the Tahoe yukon platform as well - most of us have had our onstar and nav systems fail because of this. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/168031-compass-gps-nav-and-onstar-all-failing/ Sounds to me like we all should be in the same chatroom!
  8. Morrislee - sounds like most of us are told either - water entering the antenna housing and causing a short of some sort - or Onstar module is bad. As yet - I have not seen anyone report one or the other has been the official cure - perhaps the smart dealer will order both parts and replace the easy fix first. with Back ordered parts and waiting - Whoever is up and running first with the right fix should try letting the rest of us know what worked or didnt. At the end of the Day - I will also be hassling Onstar or GM - to reset the clock on the free onstar/wifi/XM trial to the date that my unit has a Green OK light on my mirror. That seems fair - as the unit is not 100% functional.
  9. that's the best intel I have heard yet. please let us know if that repair is indeed the cats meow, and you are back up and running. Also if they do the antenna - or any other parts in the same fixit -- Thanks - and good luck.
  10. I have same issue on the 2015 tahoe - including red light of doom on rear view mirror. They told me its going to be the Antenna. I have read that the wiring in the antenna interferes with itself as its dual function and non shielded (gps vs onstar data). Who made the module diagnosis - and is there perhaps a real TSB or other secret recall information your dealer made that diagnosis from?
