Slightly different when you have to design for a billion hardware combinations VS 3 LOL

This system has been in Cadillac vehicles since 2017. You've only seen 3 on your specific truck; the radio family has seen a metric ton and as I said this was both internal and external releases thats kind of how you get to version 805.1 ? No new math I promise!

Dealer can do the update if the OTA doesnt push (as its about 50/50 on that it seems).

I honestly cannot believe how bad that system is. Its WELL over the 100th release for software (internal and external) and its still buggy as all get out and people want to put them into the old trucks?

Short version is if you have the IOS radio you have the ability to upgrade to Navigation

Damn I really like the look of that, I'll have to enable that on my wifes phone!

Hey Rog, Sorry about that! I think this may have been answered in the other thread that kind of was going in parallel so my apologies! At any rate K2 development has been frozen for some time as all resources are obviously on T1's now. That said short of a safety recall that involves the BCM it would be highly unlikely unless you are getting the BCM physically replaced that it would be overwritten. If something like that were to happen you'd simply provide a copy of the work order and we'd redo your unit at no charge just like the rest of our services. The good news is we've only had to do that a handful of times over thousands of different modules and platforms so you might have better odds winning the lottery from our perspective

Correct. We try to make the whole thing as factory correct as possible which is part of our agreement. Racer wanted the Denali theme and this would be the appropriate icon set for that for his year. You can mix and match whatever you want.

It can or we just do whatever you want; no biggie.

We do them either way, whatever coloring you prefer but generally we make them match whatever you had from the factory.

So in the past (for dealers) we have always set them up as IOT so that if you had an IOS system and upgraded or an IOR and went full on crazy and redid it all you wouldn't have to send the cluster back. We have reversed that for consumers as it was a bit annoying with IOR to have menus that didnt do anything so unless you EXPLICITLY say (which reminds me we need to add that to the website!) you want to upgrade later we are programming them exactly for your AS BUILT config so everything matches and you dont have unused menus.

I always knew I wanted it, I just dont want to do the work hehehe

I haven't tested this in a long time BUT the anti lockout feature would likely not allow this LOL

Drop us a line from our website we may be able to work something out to help you with that No, the older acadias were not Global A however we do have a service for them the only thing is that BCM is not nearly as powerful so many things do not apply. If you want to get into specifics just drop us a line from our website and we can go over that.

Great question! So the plan is on these is once the order is placed to start building everything on our end so that when the unit arrives we can turn it as fast as possible so we are aiming for next day. If we had a later UPS pickup I'd say we could do same day. If someone is REALLY time crunch conscious and we plan it together same day may be possible but again all parties have to be on the same page.

Good question! So part of this service is to make sure you have the absolute latest updated available software and calibrations for your build. That being said K2 development has been frozen for some time so unless something REALLY big happens (like a recall for example) the chances in this are very very slim; you'd be more likely to have a BCM go bad and be replaced. I can honestly say this happens so infrequently its not even a statistic with the thousands of various modules out there that we service. If something like that were to happen we would redo your unit on the house.

So... if work arounds aren't you're thing... you can do it the OEM way now ;)

Hes getting more new goodies ;)

If you’ve emailed us about custom BCM work in the past it was likely, that at the time we just simply couldn’t take it. These units take an immense amount of time to build just a single unit for one vehicle and in the case of the truck platforms there could literally be thousands of build combinations we would have to account AND the big one… TEST FOR. Even with our recent efficiency upgrades full custom units still require a ton of dedicated time and it was hard to price them at a rate that was appropriate but still palpable. A few years ago we started compiling a list of the most common modifications we were getting requests for and we noticed a pattern; a lot of people were asking for variations of the same things. On top of that most customers seemed to be OK when asked if other certain features were included as well for a lower price point would they mind? The resounding answer was no they wouldn’t mind and when can we order it? It’s taken a few years to get there; but we are finally here now. Announcing our new WAMS Spec BCM programming! WAMS Spec BCM’s include our most requested modifications in one convenient, easy to order package and at a significantly lower price point; all with our new proprietary plug and play method that ELIMINATES the required trip to a dealer (or a high end scan tool) for a brake pedal position relearn after reinstallation! We think every K2 owner will really enjoy this but those of you with lighter content trucks are really going to love it. So enough with the build up, here are the included features for this item: · Remote Start Enabled (Customer will still need a remote start key fob to utilize it) · Remote Start Cycle time extended to 20 minutes per cycle · Factory Alarm/Theft Deterrent Added to base model trucks · Factory Heated seat support added for trucks that don’t have it (wiring required obviously) · Turn signal “Hyper Flash” Deleted · Turn Signal Bulb Outage Detection Deleted · Fog lamps remain on with High Beam · Fog lamps no longer disable Intellibeam · Fog lamps remain on with Intellibeam/Auto High Beam enabled (if equipped) · Tap to pass (turn signal activation) bumped up from 3 to 4 flashes · Windows down from key fob added (For 2014-2015) · Windows down from key fob changed to Driver and Passenger front Windows only · Window down from key fob changed to allow “Vent” setting (release key fob to stop window motion prior to complete lowering) · Driver (and passenger on utilities) window UP from key fob (hold lock to raise). Express up windows are required to make this work and currently the K2 Pickups only have one on the driver’s side. · Trucks with a 98MPH speed limiter the limiter is raised slightly to allow a stock truck (a Denali for example) to run a full quarter mile without hitting the speed limiter before the end of the quarter. Here you can see our final beta test on a complete base 2016 LS I apologize for the vertical video was just really happy to finally get done with the last combination for testing! Please also check out Phil Gamboa’s (@pgamboa) phenomenally detailed review here: So in closing all of you who have been asking when it would be ready… It’s here LOL Also BIG Thank you to everyone who participated in early alpha and beta testing this with us. In addition to purchasing several vehicles for this (the latest our 2018 Denali) we tested this on over 20 trucks/SUV’s of different build combinations before we were comfortable enough to start offering this to the public.

Yup you are 100% correct, I think i'm going to tweak the display for that to only show up with used clusters. Apparently the description for the two main options didnt carry over from the old website; my apologies!

So I woke up this morning to an email asking about our service relative to some questions that were raised early this morning. Rather than thread crap I figured here was the best place to address them head on. Some background first: We have been doing this for almost 20 years at this point and Global A Secure clusters since the first platform launched in 2010 for Dealerships and numerous customers worldwide both commercial and individual. So to get to it some of the questions that have come up: 1. Pricing - If you haven't checked our all new website since I posted the operation efficiency update; you should. I think you'll find some statements being made elsewhere interesting when you look at that especially when you see we are now selling brand new clusters at barely over dealer cost (when you factor in shipping and sales tax on our end to get them). 2. Differences in cluster model years - the notion that we've been just saying you have to use the proper model year for the heck of it. Well thats simply not the case, not sure the logic behind that statement but GM doesn't like to make part number changes if it doesn't have to; this costs everyone in the supply chain money and complicates things for everyone. They would much rather build one part number for 2016-2018 for example with minor revisions if it were possible and not 3-6 each year; if there is a part number change there is a change somewhere. It may be a base software change it may be hardware but the push to keep the proper part number for your year is for YOUR benefit as you'll see below. Another giveaway on this is check the additional options made available between model years....We will do it 100% OEM perfectly or we wont do it at all, even simple things like text running off the screen or a missing icon/asset; we wont do it. We test on a minimum of around 5-6 types of vehicle prior to releasing anything including full and no content vehicles. 3. The notion that we don't do metic clusters. We most certainly do; for trucks that have metric clusters to begin with lol But the bulk of our business is as you would guess US based so we put the list together for those. We generally do not participate in putting metric clusters in US spec trucks as it has caused customers issues with one of our big selling points UNLESS its an export. 4. There are some added features that I believe we may be the only place that offer such as some of the features we've recently posted in here such as odometer lock removal, engine hours etc. 5. Extra menus - Yup we've been doing those for what 8-9 years now? (check our youtube channel LOL) If they work and are valuable they are there. 6. What we alluded to above: Our biggest customers are dealers and in case you forgot we are GMDN and because of this there are NO WARRANTY IMPLICATIONS. This is why we do things the way we do, we have a strict set of guidelines to adhere to. So thats our stance on this, not to knock anyone in the least but we dont suggest anyone simply race to the bottom so to speak on something that can have warranty and potential legal implications for the end user; we run a tight ship for a reason and if you've read most of or even some of this thread you know why. Thank you all for your support over the years; we greatly appreciate it!

Please use the contact us form from our website including all of the fields and put that part number in there we will check it against your vin

Soon

Keep your eyes peeled ;)

You’ll want to get the matching radio for your audio RPO and both of them programmed.
