We still get this question it seems at least once a week so we decided to use the same content from our Facebook post and put into more of a blog style so that people can digest this a bit better. https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/2026/01/06/why-hmi-2-5-to-hmi-3-upgrade-is-not-possible/

If you have a 2019-2020 and want to go the factory route (and add navigation) this is another alternative and with the age of these trucks and the radio failure rate increasing its only about $100 more than a replacement radio (CSM) module. https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/silverado-sierra-wireless-car-play-android-auto-navigation-and-hd-radio-upgrade/

We are seeing an uptick in purchases for both of those and thankfully we still do have stock of both but tariffs and inflation have really driven up the prices in the last year. https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/replacement-gm-hmi/ https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/sierra-silverado-replacement-8-infotainment-screen/

Hey gang, in order to facilitate these upgrades we now carry the proper retrofit steering wheels for these applications and at a price cheaper than the dealer to boot! You can find all three variants available here: https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/refresh-steering-wheel-upgrade-kit/

Thanks for the kind words gang! We have been working as hard as humanly possible to keep these affordable in the midst of multiple tariffs and inflation. We have still managed to keep the price below what most places are selling refurbished/used parts for while offering brand new fresh modules in our kit. The CarPlay retrofit for ALL GM HMI Based Vehicles can be found here: https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/car-play-upgrade-retrofit-kit/ The CarPlay Upgrade for 2016's Built without it can be found here: https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/2016-apple-carplay-android-auto-upgrade/ Replacement HMI's with full GM warranty can be found here: https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/replacement-gm-hmi/ We also sell new Infotainment Screens, Radio modules etc under the replacement parts category on the site

Ok so it's a T1 SUV but we can still play; right? We added another T1 Escalade to the development fleet this time an LM2 Diesel since after 2024 you can no longer get an Escalade with a Diesel. We added a hybrid V cluster layout to this one that still retains all of the specific Diesel gauges and warnings for DEF. The only thing that isnt "perfect" is the tach scaling but given this is an auto thats really not an issue. The best part is you end up with not only a better looking dash but also a coolant gauge; absent from the factory layout. We also added our upcoming Adaptive Headlamp Kit to this one as well; if you've ever been in a vehicle with these you know they are flat out amazing!

There are 8" IOR Variants out there as well just to muddy the waters even further. Unfortunately the IOR doesnt have any provisions for extra cameras sadly.

Man thats great news thank you so much for letting me know!! Those corners are the ones mentioned in the description; was the best case scenario for not having to retool it for a bazillion dollars hahaha

Great Rich hope you're doing well!

Now theres a name I haven't heard in awhile

You're welcome! Oddly enough this is exactly what I mean when I say typo's happen You are correct on his actual VIN though; it's a refresh.

You’re welcome but I was referring to the product description and faq of the item you ordered that has detailed instructions on how to tell if you have a refresh truck using the vin. As far as your other reply goes given you signed off not only did you not have a refresh truck under the item itself but also that you read and understood the entire description and faq at checkout we assumed you made a typo in the vin hence the note on your account requesting the proper vin (it happens occasionally). No one was going to send the wrong cluster but again based on the amount of checks we provide for that item figured it was just a typo. So this is what you ordered https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/denali-high-country-cluster-upgrade-t1/ “Q: Will this work in my new 2022.5+ 1500 or 2024+ 2500/3500 “Refresh” truck? A: No this product is specifically for the 2019-2022 T1 trucks ONLY. If you have a 2022.5+ this is not the product for that application. If you have a 2022 and aren’t sure if you have a 2022.5 you can verify you verify by simply checking your RPO’s for “J22” or even easier if the last 8 of your vin starts with “NG5” or “NZ5” or higher for example “NG6” or “NZ6” and so on if you meet any of those requirements its a 2022.5 and not compatible. While there are some lower trim level 2022.5 Trucks that appear to have the previous generation interior/electronics this is not the case as everything electrical subsystem wise is completely different and not compatible. This also WILL NOT work on 2023+ 1500 or 2024+ 2500/3500 trucks as mentioned previously in the description. The product for the refresh trucks can be found by clicking HERE.” This is what you actually need https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/t1-refresh-cluster-upgrade/ Please drop us a line from the contact us page tomorrow and we will figure this out.

Yes it did with a completely different set of hardware and transceiver specs etc. The major issue was lack of single wire CAN (LSCAN) transceivers for the camera. The switch to Global B and dual wire CAN and more plentiful transceivers on the market as most other manufacturers were using dual wire CAN made this doable.

COVID happened Took until 2022.5 and an entire bus/architecture change with different chipsets to make it happen.

Well considering on 2022.1 the rate of GF2 Silverados with FCA is 5% meaning 95% don't have it where as 100% of refresh trucks do have it I'd say thats pretty true.

If you have FCA it's HIGHLY likely you have a refresh. Please check the instructions in the FAQ to determine by VIN just in case. Refresh is Global B architecture prior is Global A; they are not interchangeable in any way including the steering wheels unfortunately

Just to update this old thread with relevant information https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/t1-refresh-cluster-upgrade/

Yeah that can happen when you ask someone the same question over and over and keep pushing people; crazy right?

One of the ongoing projects we've had on our "to do" list for years now has been to develop steering wheel audio control support for the IOB Radio. We believe that we likely have all of this sorted out but no longer have easy access to an IOB equipped truck. If you have one of our Denali Cluster upgrades (or even a UDD!) in your IOB equipped truck with steering wheel controls and are interested in testing support for Audio Controls please drop us a line ASAP from the link below! https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/contact-us/ Thank you!

On the 2022.5+ 1500 and 2024+ 2500/3500 this is fed by the cached Google Maps download. You'll probably notice when it's downloading the offline maps you can go into the settings and expire the maps and pull a new copy and hopefully its corrected.
