Didn't you look over the order before they placed it? I have ordered a few new trucks and they always send me the GM Global Connect shopping cart printout for my review before they click send.
Several threads specifically for adding tow mirrors to these trucks. Depends on which stock mirrors you started with, DL8 or DL3. Do a search and you will find pages and pages and pages of great info that can answer literally any question you could possibly have.
For a 2014, you need the RZY jumper harness and a new door harness in each door.
The white LEDs are not designed as reverse lights or to come on with key fob like the puddle lights do on the smaller mirrors unless you were to do some complicated custom wiring job. From the factory they are wired as cargo lights, so you have to push the button in your truck and it will turn on the mirror LEDs and your other cargo lights in the back. That is how they are designed to work. If you push the button they work perfectly in reverse, and shut off when you put it in D. This is assuming you wire it with the OEM door harnesses like most do.
Amber lights will work perfectly as running lights if you use OEM door harnesses.
I've seen it talked about in threads, but couldn't find any info in the audio forum or a dedicated thread.
I have a Denali with 6.2 and active noise cancellation. I want to add the stand-alone kicker sub, but it's not technically for the 6.2 as I guess the ANC is tuned for the built in sub but not the aftermarket.
I've read that you can disconnect the rear microphone and everything works.
Has anyone done this and had any issues? Will the front mics still pick up the bass and attempt to cancel it out? Is there a more elegant solution than snipping the mic wire, like unplugging it from the harness? Is there any feedback or distortion or anything else with this route?
Thanks.
Starting May 1st, 2016 the new law will phase in that makes a backup camera mandatory on all new vehicles sold in the USA. They have until 2018 to be 100% compliant with a camera on every single new vehicle sold.
That sucks. Mine has sat for four days and started up just like it was one. Nothing should die after just one week or even two. You have a defect.

Is it even possible to kill the battery in these newer vehicles with all the rundown protections?
I keep jumper cables to use for other people, I don't expect to need them in a six-month old truck.
With this new a truck you probably don't need much if it's under warranty. You can get it towed to a dealership and fixed in the unlikely event something happens.
This is what I have in my truck permanently under the rear seat. I have used nearly everything in there at one point or another in the first five months of owning the truck, except the tow strap. It's just nice to have anything I need when I need it.
Built-in nav is worthless for actually programming a destination and following it, but great for just generally getting a bearing of where you are, what roads are ahead, possible shortcuts, side roads, etc.
Google Maps is definitely the go-to. Could always order the truck without nav, then pay that company on here like $600 to have your Intellilink screen mirror your phone. Voila, for barely more money you have Google maps displayed on your head unit.
From what I am reading the clean side separator isn't really needed with a wet sump system like the trucks have. Definitely needed on the Corvettes with the dry sump.
Have you noticed any residue in the clean side separator? $100 doesn't bother me if it will help, but if it's negligible then I won't bother.
When you say "catch can and clean air oil separator" that is all the same unit right? I ordered the EE catch can and want to make sure I don't need anything else.
Totally 100% agree with you.
I do see a brand new kit for $75 bid or $100 buy it now, so a little lower that going to GM.
I think you would be pretty dumb to update it every year, that is stupid expensive. You would need to live in an area that changes a lot and rely on your nav for everything. But $75 every 3 years doesn't seem as bad.
Should be free for lifetime of the vehicle of course.
