So let me give some clarification on our system " VAIS Tech" model #GSR-GM03 On most of the vehicles in this post your truck most likely has (2) USB ports. One is USB-A and the other is USB-C. Depending on what type phone you have, iPhone or Android should determine which of these two ports to use. If your phone has a USB-A to charge, then you can get an adapter and use the USB-C port for our device. If you have a newer Android, which uses the USB-C to charge, then you can use the opposite port for Sat Radio. Our device also allows a plug in/add-on USB-A port which is high speed charging/fast charging. Most vehicle USB ports don't have this high of charging capacity. Most know this because if you're using Maps on your phone and plugged into the factory USB, the phone doesn't charge and barely maintains the battery. Our unit would allow Maps and will charge at the same time.
Again, both devices whether you use ours or the other one, still must have an antenna added, either the magnetic one that comes with the SiriusXM model #SXV300 or you need to purchase the antenna from GM parts to get the factory one. We've had some of our installers get creative and put the magnetic antenna in the same housing as the factory antenna, so you won't see it.
The other factor with our unit is it is software driven as we use the same hardware for all brands, so in the event you get another vehicle that might not have Sat radio, our unit can be software updated to all other brands.
Doesn't look like the problem is changing anytime soon and I truly understand, but we make solutions to help and will continue to attempt to make our solution better if the radio configuration allows. Our latest device which won a SEMA award for the best mobile electronics device is where we're putting all of our engineering efforts. Another solution called SEER that we believe people will enjoy. If I can ever be of service, please feel free to contact me. I roll an 18 Silverado High Country and 18 Suburban, along with a 69 and 67 Chevy, I'm a Chevy fan!!!!
