Is the part labeled 6 in this diagram the HMI module? If it is I think the 84278527 (5 in the diagram) is the correct part number that also needs replaced. I'm also not seeing anyone that is selling it stating that it may need to be updated to a new VIN.

Thanks for coming here and posting. It was getting confusing jumping back and forth between here and youtube. I'll wait to see how your install goes before ordering one for myself. If it needs updated to my VIN I think my local dealership would be willing to help as the guy I deal with there is interested in the Pre-2016 Carplay /Android Auto retrofits himself.

That's what I mean. The part number for the radio module.

Do you happen to know the part number? Drove down to the lake today and found the deal breaker. Someone called me and I couldn't hear them...

Yep. Like I said,, I'll wait for iOS 12 to officially release, see what breaks with that and move forward then. I pretty much expected to replace the whole works. I was pleasantly surprised I got what I did out of it last night.

When I posted that earlier, I was home with my 4 year old daughter and didn't really have a chance to hammer on it and see what worked and what didn't. I was able to take a drive tonight and the only thing that doesn't work is Siri talking to me, there's just no audio. Siri can hear me, and can do what I ask her to do. I asked for directions to the local grocery store, there are three of them, three options popped up and I chose the one I wanted. That said, the only thing I currently don't have is Siri reading my text messages to me. That's probably a deal breaker for most but I don't get many texts, and I really don't care if I can't hear them while I'm driving. I started this to get two things, the apple music interface on my truck stereo, which I got, and apple maps, which I now have. If Siri ever graces me with her voice in my truck, it will be a bonus.

If you have the armrest jump seat, take the rubber insert out of the plastic cupholder piece and take the 4 screws and the plastic piece out. There is a USB plug and a 10 pin plug, the 10 pin is tied off inside pretty short and you wont be able to connect it without removing the cup holders. The rubber piece just pulls out, it doesn't feel like it will, but t does.

Ok, so I received the 13509942 plug today, plugged it in, plugged my phone in and... it worked! (kinda) I have music, I have maps, i have SMS (kinda). Siri is muted. The interface activates and the line squiggles, she can hear me, but she apparently has laryngitis. Here's the disclaimer, I'm running the beta of iOS 12 on my phone. I don't want to revert because I've been on it for a while and I would have to go back to my most recent backup from like 2 months ago. Too much data loss for me. Right now I have what I wanted out of Carplay. I can still listen to music and apple maps shows up on the screen. Once iOS 12 officially releases and the new version of Carplay releases with it, I'll assess the damage then and proceed accordingly. *EDIT* Forgot to add, since Siri is muted, she reads your SMS messages to you, so it all works you just can't hear what she's saying.

Wait this out with me. If I have to go full tilt I will have spent: $115 for the HMI, delivered $24 for the USB, delivered ~$299 for the radio module if I have to go that far. That's far better than the ~$600-700 I would have had to spend to replace it all with aftermarket. I'm into this truck for two or three more years so this is worth it to me.

Read through the YouTube comments. It seems that if your truck is a 2015 or newer your odds are much better. It it does appear the android requires a little more bandwidth than iOS, but the upgraded 2015’ or newer seems to be able to handle it better.

Supposedly, the guy I ordered it from on EBay programmed it to my VIN. If that that ends up not being the case, this forum, YouTube and eBay will know the truth.

I just ordered the USB module. Theoretically it will be here Saturday.

Keep in mind, my truck is a 2014, non-Bose, non-Nav. The people that this has worked for on iOS, from what I’ve seen, are in 2015’s. I’m prepared to ultimately spend whatever I have to to make this work, I’m just trying to logically get to that point as cheap as I can.

Alright, Ladies and Gentlemen. 2.5 HMI module arrived today and I swapped it out. It takes longer to get the glove boxes out than it does to swap the module. The bad news, everything except Apple CarPlay works. It just doesn’t detect the phone. That said, I have not yet upgraded the USB connector in the armrest. That will now be my next purchase to see if that makes it work. If if that doesn’t, the next thing is apparently the radio module and I have been told that is relatively reasonable in price too.

The third party Nav apps coming to iOS is what finally lit the fire under me. Also, don’t pay $600 for just the HMI module. Look in the comments of the YouTube video. There’s a guy listed there selling them for far cheaper than that.

Module arrives Wednesday. Had the truck in the shop on Friday and got the radio software updated to try and alleviate any potential issues there. If I can get the module in Wednesday night I'll definitely update, good or bad. Only roadblocks I see right now is I have the old USB ports in my console (with the SD card slot), some guys have had to upgrade to the new USB ports. That said, the guys that have had issues with the old ports were on android which apparently requires more bandwidth than Carplay. I'm on iOS so I'm hoping for the best.

Thanks for the feedback. I may just have to get them after all.

Are you happy with the quality of the Anzo's? I like the look of them but have seen enough people with issues that I haven't pulled the trigger on them yet.

Yeah, if I'm going to drop that much money I'm going to gut it and replace it with aftermarket. Those guys look like they offer a good service and I know a lot of people here are happy with them but I don't want factory Nav and I won't pay a premium for it. I just want Carplay added.

From what I am seeing it's a little more friendly to iPhones just swapping out the HMI. I'm taking a chance, will just upgrade what I have to to get it to work.

Has anyone tried this yet? I set up an appointment Friday to have the firmware in my stereo updated and will be ordering the 2.5 HMI module tonight to see if this actually works.

Beautiful truck, grapedrinkesha. That's exactly the lift and look I'd like on my truck. Is that a 2.5" front only level lift with 20" rims with a -24 offset and approximately 295/55-20 tires?

You name it, I've done it (except pulling at max GVWR). Bone stock truck, only addition is a Leer Topper that weighs 300 - 400 lbs City driving I average between 15-18 MPG Highway driving at an average speed of 65MPH, I average 21-23 MPG Pulling my pontoon boat that weighs ~3500 lbs, I average 10-13 MPG I'm not one to stand on the throttle and I'm not one to speed so your mileage may vary, but going on 24,000 miles with this truck, these are the MPG's I've seen with it.

All I've done so far is the Leer top and the N-Fab nerf bars. HID headlights and LED courtesy and fog lights are next.

Thanks, Thrasher I really like the look of them. I looked at the RB10's too but I wanted something a little lower profile to the truck. I plan on keeping the topper on so bed access wasn't as important to me. The finish and the construction on them seem really durable.
