Thank You !

Correction, it's an iPod not Pad. BTW: last year, @sswails and I spent weeks sharing our decades of speaker and amp expertise, to replace our Poor Sounding Bose Speakers. Every One Of Them !! They were all Bose China mfg. cheapies. As we each have different musical tastes, our speaker choices varied a bit, but the end results were incredibly better than the OEM Bose. Sad to say. Another Sad point is only a Three Band Equlizer in our GM. Take a look at a new Grand Cherokee, has a true Pro=Audio system adjustments I use in my home or pro recording studio. Gm /Bose should do a software re-design of this weak control system we have, and ditch the China Syndrome Speakers.

Hi folks, this is where I have little expertise. Have an older iPad, had in my '16 GMC Denali HD plugged in the USB port and charger. Worked great. Now with the '24 HD and GM Smarter than most of us interfacing, how do I get it to play in the new system ? The USB charger works, but to wireless interface, I don't have a clue.

Saying a prayer for all of us on this Cow Pie Allison issue. I invested so much in customizing my truck for work and mobile office, till retirement. To have it go down for weeks / months as I hear on a back-ordered part will kill my machinery service business. Same as my customers when the metal cutting machinery goes down, no parts to weld and product to deliver. Just did all the "Known" recalls at 12k mi., on my 2500 Duramax and gave my dealer service manager, printed copies of these terrible stories of downtime. Says he has not heard of the Allison issue. Really ?????????????????

I agree. Just wanted to mention to @WV_Crusader, to check part numbers with a vendor, before ordering. As every site I saw, had no listing for the '24. In my case, my new '24 HD Front Ranchos are a bit lacking in control for my liking, compared to the Bill's I put on my '16 HD. With the Bill's in front, the bump stops were rarely hit. My other Big difference was the Max-Trailer option in this '24 rear leaf stack With Overloads. I carry the same weight of tools and equip. as in the '16, but had to add the Firestone Air Bags and anti-sway bar in the '16 to sort it out to handle well. The '24 HD with that spring pak, no bags needed, just added a rear 1.5" Roadmaster anti-sway bar, and good to go. Best Regards, KP.

Search for posts and pix for tweeters. We put a bunch on there with pix for all speakers in our dull sounding Bose system, with another member @sswails. We replaced every Bose speaker, dash, A Pillars, dash corners, front doors rear doors top and bottom, and a Sub.

See my post below, on the Kicker HideAway Sub Kit.

I went with the Kicker Hide Away Sub, 200 watt. Comes with the remote, and adjustable crossover and attenuation on the amp itself. Tap into where the GM kit does, L.F. door speaker. Easy place wire harness feeds from rear passenger carpet door sill cover on my Bose system, possibly non-bose. Also can place it under the rear seat, and not loose storage. KP.

Have been running the Kicker Hide Away Sub 200 watt, a month now. Sits on top the rear seat storage bin, just touches the seat underside, no loss of storage. All the Bass I need. Put the volume control inside the center console, with Velcro. Easy to fine tune level to taste. Choice to tap into signal, is either passenger front door speaker source wires, or the center console sub source. Both pairs of these wires are under the passenger rear scuff door sill plate plastic cover. I'm using the Front Right signal now. Will also try the Bose Sub center console signal at some point , as I think it has a better crossover HZ limit. A lot of mid range comes from the RF speaker signal. I'm out of space to post any more pix.

See my replies also further on. I put outlets inside my center arm rest, ran power to passenger side fuse block, with a 15 amp fuse tap. Also The GM Upfitter Kit said not available for Denali and AT-4 until '25. I'd look at the aftermarket Aux-Panel. Don's Life GM You Tubes did a nice video on it. Easier to install than the OEM kit by far.

Kerry here. I cannot post any more pix, as I seem out of file size to post any more. I put my dual cigar outlet inside the center arm rest. And another out side the rear center console facing rear seat by the floor. Ran power to the passenger side fuse panel to a 15 amp fuse tap, that always powered.

I am out of space to add any pix.....guess I am put on a leash. I added a dual cigar lighter outlet inside my center arm rest. and another on the rear out side of it facing the rear seats. KP.

I have a '24 2500HD with Max Trailer Pkg. that also came with those White Shocks. 7k miles on her. Put Bilsteins on my '16 2500HD, and used the 5600's. Were great , but now know the 5600's are for at least 1.5" Lifted applications. For Stock Ride Height Bilstein says to use the 4600's. Also said no difference in ride quality between these two IF the 5100 is installed at the designed Lifted Ride Height. The 5100 is a Longer Shock than the 4600, but both have same valving / dampening. I cannot add the pic of the Bilstein web page, as I am out of attachment space allotment. FYI: My local 4x4 specialty shop even said the "White Shocks" will move about 20%, before the dampening really kicks in. Which seems plause-able, as I found my new truck is a bit "floaty", compared to my previous Bilstein experience. Can't wait to put the 4600's on. Only part numbers I found are up to a '23 2500HD. Front 24-196437, Rear 24-196444.

@Pryme, Give Crutchfield a call. I got a lot of great tech info from "Hunter", his direct line is : 434.218.6124. I think you have a WT Chev., with base radio, I have no exp. with. But "T" plug in harness adaptors are available for most vehicles, to not have to cut into a head unit wire harness, to add amps etc.. I saw one listing from the company NAV-ZEN. There are a few others, T-Harness.com, and LLJ Custom Stereo. Pre-made harnesses, and even made to order custom. Most improvement in my truck was the "A" Pillar tweeters and Dash Corners speakers, that added clarity and stereo separation. Front door 6x9's do have a full range signal, so a Co-Ax would brighten it up as well. My Denali also has tweeters in the top of the rear doors. I replaced those Bose with Kickers, and now I can hear them.

Look at the Garmin and Auxbeam products for 9L7 capability.

@rjgvt, see my comments added. #193C Upfitter notice on the 9L7 for AT4 & X, Denali & Ult, NOT available till 2025. This would be the difficult final design of the dash switch Cluster, is the hold up. The WT work truck and other standard dashboards, could use existing switch "pods" for the '23 & '24. Not Denali, Denali Ult, and At4, At4X, dash re-fresh designs.

Brent, I just added my comments at the end, just now. I addition, I just checked today 2/6/24, the Gm Upfitter page, for the 9L7 Upfitter Install #3 for At4 & At4X, Denali and Ult. will NOT be available till 2025 units released !

As @kf9yr mentioned, the Garmin kit is much better install in my view, than the GM OEM 9L7, and so is the AuxBeam AR-800. And still there is no Upfitter Update for the AT4/Denali Dash Swithces to be available. Reason....Garmin & Auxbeam...ALL connections are under the Hood for the devices to control, and just one has to go thru the Firewall. The GM 9L7, ALL device connections have to go thru the Firewall to the Relay Box under the dash. A real PITA to pull thru. And these two aftermarket ones have WIFI off your phone as well, the 9L7 does not. I wasted so many brain cells in 9L7 research, and replies from GM Tech, that the Kit "is coming" for At4 and Denali. After seeing how much a PITA it is just to hook up 12v thru the firewall, for a Subwoofer I added, Naaaaa. I'm going with the Auxbeam. They have several units for capacity needed. See a You Tube from "Don's Life", on his AT4 Auxbeam install. That convinced me. It's better organized that the GM 9L7. After so much time in and under the dash, adding cabin foot lighting, and mute sounding Bose speakers etc., I'm done. Time to enjoy this new mortgage payment.

Just find an equivalent non-gas shock...In a few Off-Road specialty sites. Someone posted a brand I can't recall. Even contact Suspension Maxx, ask for a suggested non-gas, non-Rancho, that will work with the kit they have. My '24 HD Denali came with Rancho's, soon to be Bilstein's. I ran those on my '16 HD and loved them.

Just saw this.....The GM Kicker Sub amps without this Bass Remote, CANNOT be updated to the Bass Remote version. I did speak to a Kicker Tech today, with the Amp Only replacement # WITH the Bass Remote. That part is only for Warranty Replacement, and NOT for Retail Sale to update an operational one without it. For the $$, Look at the Kicker #46HS10 "Hide-Away". Has every feature, wirks with OR without a Bose GM system. Vibrates my door mirrors just fine. Use the speaker wire taps everyone has listed. Right Front, or Arm Rest Sub if one is there.

Just saw these posts, a bit late, but another '24 owner and I, with Denali and Bose, replaced the "A" Pillar and Dash corner speakers, with different brands to test. Mine : Kicker Tweeters in "A" Pillars, (left out the 6mfd. Cap crossovers on the stock Bose), and Pioneer Co-Ax A709 2.5" in dash corners ( also did not use a crossover). WOKE it up greatly. Left the center dash as is for now (blends both L&R channels. He, @sswails, used Audio Frog speakers and tweeters in "A" Pillars and dash corners. After our lengthy comparisons, I consider him a very high end car audiophile. NO distortion from these at all. BE Mind-full, to replace with the Lowest Ohm speaker available, for ANY replacement location. Dash OR Doors. This to keep the Bose Amp, at peak performance. My Denali also has Tweeters in the top of the rear doors. Replaced them with Kickers as well. Now can hear those well. Factory GM Kicker rear Sub kits..... (2) versions. Early one had a Remote Bass Control port on the Amp, and Flush White Molex Input Female for harness. Latter ones due to chip shortage ( a Kicker Tech explained), with a Pigtail input harness, does not have remote Bass knob option. This Kicker tech said , new production units, will resume the first version Remote Bass capability. Did not give a date. Due to the GM Kicker Sub new non-Bass Remote, I got a Kicker "Hideaway 10", 46HS10, with built in 180 watt amp. Includes the Bass Remote knob and cable. Extremely compact. Tapped into under rear Passenger scuff rocker plate, next to seat. Easy access to BOTH twisted pair Yel & Yel/BK (goes to Right Front Door), OR the Gn/Bk & Bl/Gy (to Sub in centwe console). I put "T" Taps on all 4 wires to test. So far testing the R.F. is OK. Will do the Ctr. Sub next. So far is great. The Remote Bass control pt is a Huge help, to fine tune it to every type of music. Also this Sub, has a continuously adjustable Crossover, Boost, Level. Has Hi/Low Speaker Source Level input, Phase / 180, Remote Turn On Type. All in $370.00. Enough Bass to vibrate the rear view door mirrors. The "Hideaway"

Forgot to mention, those "Bed Slider" options, are also pictured in on line brochures on the A.R.E., and LEER websites. Not a A.R.E. or LEER product, but I guess they help promote dealer sales, as a package deal.

"rjgvt". You should take a look at a "Bed Slider" product , to mount all these to. This will slide out way past the tailgate for easy access for all items. Mine is a 1500 lb. capacity for tools, but lighter capacity units available. Bad knees , can't crawl into the bed area as I used to.

I had the same issue. Had a A.R.E. 2016 cap I ordered with optional Dual LED Strips on carpeted headliner . Worked great. New 2024 LEER cap, I ordered the same option, Dual LED Strips, as shown in current brochure. Delivered with a small Puck LED at each end of the headliner. Not what I needed to light up for my bed slider & tools. Dealer said, oooooppss. All LEER and A.R.E. offer now, are these pucks. I had a heck of a time getting the Best 3M Double Face Tape, to adhere to the headliner carpet. Would start falling down after a day or two, on a warm day. Resorted to Spotting every 2", Gel Super Glue on the 3M to the carpet. Says put now. FYI, I also put a LED Strip on the Cap Lid Bottom between the catches, to also light up my bed slider tray when it's pulled out. Ran the wire up the lid left side, to the piston, then to the cap 12v. conecton point. Can't post more pix due to a Bose Stereo project I did with "sswails", his '24 GMC, as I must have used up allotted mb of attachment postings.

Upgrade Price it is...... After wanting the Alpine Umber color interior, Rabbit hole into a Denali Ultimate, and to Spend another Almost $4000 for Alloys I find attractive............Nooooooooooooooo. Enough is Enough !!!!! I Painted the Black Center Caps and Black Plastic Spokes a Body color match, to minimize my xxxxxxxxxxxxx off-ness. Insult was the original '24 On-Line Build & Price calculator, shows the upgrade at $970.00. Yea OK I will bend over for that. Ooooooooppppsssss. Dealers said was corrected to $3,890.00.
