"iworkforGM" (My brother retired from GM and my nephew currently works for GM) Ok I have 2 questions for you, I did my own 2020 upfitters switch install as shown in earlier pictures in this posting. Could you send me a name of a upfitters shop in Utah as I understand there is none per my dealer in Las Vegas / Nevada. I would like to set up the upfitter work when my truck arrives. 1) When will the 193 upfitters option “9L7" for these upfitters switches be released. It seems it is not even on the option list on new truck orders. Is it constrained? Yesterday I ordered my 24 Ultimate D, and dealer said I could add it if there is time and before production, he was able to select the option "9L7"? There were 2 other options that are also on constraint which baffles me. It’s the "PDL" cargo package, and "SOM" the illumination package. Sorry as I know these do not pertain to these discussions. 2) On the new data sheet (#193) for the '24, U Denali, it appears one has to remove the driver’s side left knee bolster? In the earlier 2020 model one had to remove the entire dash above the console as well as the entire top of the console. The reason was to loosen and remove 2 screws so the new bolster could be fastened across the driver’s dash. Is it the same for this updated #193 knee bolster replacement? also how much problem will it to remove the center stack glass screen to remove and replace the plastic bolster panels? Chuck K

After a few searches I answered my own question. Its not a color problem. Its the relocation of the toggle switches on the dash center stack. The Ultimate Denali has all the toggle switches at the bottom below the AC controls. The only alternative is to put it into the same location as the 2020 thru 2023 models. This would provide the alternativfe switch placements and allow the outfitters switches. So I am thinking I can do it but am I willing to cut my own knee bolster panel below the hood level? Well I'll wait till I order my truck.

So if someone with a 2024 Ultimate Denali can snap several photos of the dash center stack! Then take a couple of the passengers fuse panel under the hood over the fender.

Ok this IS the same switches as the 2020 thru 23 models! The only difference is the oval trim around the switches. I installed my 2020 upfitters. NOW the real question is someone who has a "ultimate Denali" take a photo of the same location on the dash center stack! Anyone can do that? I am willing to say the upfitters only come in black? I wonder what is the Ultimate dash color?

Can someone take a couple of photos of the actual 24 switchbank on the console. I canno figure out why the Ultimate D will not be sold with the switch package? I can and have done the 2020 switch install myself. A bity of a challenge but it took time. Also those owner that have the Ultimate D can you take the passenger fuse box plasstic lid off to see the fust buss etc. I want to compate with the older fuse boxes. Thanks Chuck K

Yes there are 2 modules. The thin one with a clip on each end is for the keyless entry. The larger rectangular one is the TMPS trailer system. I did orient the module under my trailer so it faces the 3 axle tires, under the trailer. I am no more than 12 feet from the box to the furthest tire. I am not finished yet but maybe this weekend. I also did orient the module to face. The same way it was on the truck in case it had a internal antenna.

I may suggest if your in progress. If you pull thru a 90 elbow (electrical elboe) get some clear wire lube. Lube it generously and it will have resistance but should go thru. Good Luck Chuck

Ok a little ketchup, I ran a 18 gauge pair of red / black cable. I intercepted the 22 gauge cable about 6 inches from the ends. I also verified the cable was getting power to the end. It now powers up the TMPS and it was recognized the TMPS receiver. I had the receiver on the ground adjacent to the wall of the trailer. I got 1 tire to see in the truck. The others I was not able to get the truck to see it. I stopped and put things away for now. I am waiting for a Deusch military bulk head connector to use in the bed of the truck next to the trailer / cam plugs. When I get that I will put it all together. I'll take the trailer for a rid to wake up all the tire sensors. Then again try to get the truck to recognize the tire sensor. Chuck On a second note, I understand someone had a problem that the tire blew out before the TMPS monitor in the truck responded. A passerby flagged down the driver as the tire was shredded and nothing was left but rim? Any one check how long or the response time from a tire problem to the dash display?

Mike I just tried to relocate my module. I made up a cable 22 gauge twisted shielded. I made up the ends and ran it under my trailer. I had the module 16 feet away from the furthest tire. I ran 22 gauge 2 pair twisted shielded about 53 feet long. I tried to relocated the module under the trailer and the truck didn't seem to recognize a receiver was present. I rang out the cable and its all good. I also put the receiver back on the truck and it recognizes it? I ran out of time so next week I plan on taking a voltage reading as the only thing different is you had 20 gauge power wire. I might try that also. I'll let everyone know what's happening. Chuck K

Yes they did in that earlier photo link I added some photos of the install. I also added some descriptions of each photo. What I first did was remove the camera plastic ball housing with the 2 screws. Then I removed the cable from the camera. I then plugged in the new 20 foot cable and connected the original cable end. I took everything to my truck and plugged it in like I would for a trailer hook up. I started the truck and while in the cab I had the camera all plugged in and was able to field check it was all good prior to reassembly. Looked fine you will find it will also be fine. Remember I had the trailer adapter also plugged in to simulate I had the trailer plugged in and I got the mirror cameras to work showing the split screens. Chuck

GM took a radical turn in the last months and removed the wireless compatibility for our trucks. We were told to utilize a hard wire connection. There was a announcement from GM on 11-30-2020 a flier called GM Authority looked into the apple car play and the android phones if GM was going to get back and reset the ability to cell uses. The response was and I quote "This does not mean the job can not be done. It simply means that The General does not appear to be interested in doing it. Producers of several aftermarket solutions claim that they can offer wireless Android Auto or Apple Car-Play on GM models which do not have the new cable-free functionality," Now a company comes forward called "White Automotive and Media services". They offer a radio upgrade. I am wondering I have a fully loaded 2020 Denali with 360 cameras but the phone is NOT wireless and no texting ability's. I am wondering they say its just like the factory, BUT does this modification also have texting ability like my old 2016? Who here has made the modification and what did you fully get. I know its pricy BUT I am willing to pay for it and if it does what I need. Yes I did email them but I did not get answers I was looking for. So no better than ask in here if anyone has done it. Thanks in Advance Chuck

Yes it shows it in that link, it has trailer pics of the back ramp. Chuck

Ok I found this on the web and credit the original poster. But this is a detailed on how to remove the console it takes time BUT makes all life easier. You will need those plastic tools to remove interior panels. The hardest part was removing the dash trim around the radio assembly. The second hardest part was putting together the side panel and making sure it slipped into the slot. You WILL NEED Microsoft Office / word to view this. It will down load to you computer.

Good morning Mike. I was wondering did you or will you use a twisted shielded cable for the TMPS signal conductor. If you used a shielded wire normally its grounded at the supply / source end. Are you grounding the shielded wire or are you just using twisted shielded cable. Thanks Chuck

Ok this is great info. I will be moving my trailer TMPS receiver very soon. Thanks Chuck
