Good Morning Fellow Silverado owners,
I have a pretty involved question for the masses. I recently purchased a 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Duramax. This replaced my beloved 2016 that was absolutely destroyed by an idiotic driver! The new truck was one that came from the factory without Apple Carplay. It has the CPO code, meaning it was a factory credit because it does not have Carplay. There was a shortage in these modules when this truck was being built. The new truck is also IO5. The former Silverado is IO6 and DID have Carplay. Long story short, I have the behind-the-screen (Radio Control) module in my possession. However, my local Chevy dealer believes that it will not work as I do not have the HMI module as well. They also are not even sure that the HMI and Radio Control Module with Carplay can be programmed into the IO5 build since it is coming from an IO6 build. IF anyone has any thoughts on this, I would really appreciate it. I currently have the turn-by-turn NAV, but that trial runs out in July. I know that I can go old school and just get the phone holder and use that. We do lots of traveling, and having the Carplay interface is important. Thoughts??
