Chrisfox, yes that helps tremendously! I am looking to get a factory look and feel of the usb/smart card reader inside the box if possible and have it work with Apple play… unlike the usb in the back not sure why gm decided to make that a power port only. Hopefully this will work. I have also be following Adam’s threads who seems to be trying to do the same thing without much luck. This is why I suggested the radio upgrade from https://www.infotainment.com with the hope that this is where the USB and card read finally terminates. It is an expensive upgrade but for me it’s worth it since it does come with the HD radio. I am going to contact Infotainmnet and see what they suggest to see if it is possible. Thanks all I’ll keep the thread updated.

Chris, I like that idea. Are you using the factory part that goes under the lid in the center console to give the factory look? By the way does anyone have that part number for it? Number 6 in the image Adam, with your set up where you able to get at least the AUX or the SD card to work for the radio? I am thinking because of the chip shortage they did not add these features to the radio itself so setting it up like Chris said would be the only option unless you replace whatever all these things connect to which I would think be the radio. I did find an upgraded radio for $700 since I was upset to find out they removed the HD radio. I have not purchased this but I am considering it. It may help out in Adam’s situation, just not sure. https://www.infotainment.com/products/2019-2020-chevrolet-silverado-mylink-iou-gps-navigation-hd-radio-upgrade?variant=39621705302052 Thank you everyone for all the information so far on this issue/upgrade.
