I recently purchased a 2011 GMC SLT that I thought would come with the rear audio control center when ordered with the Bose system. To my surprise, it did not come with it and found out it is a seperate option UK6.

 

Does anyone know if I purchased GM part #15886911 which shows rear audio for the 2008-10, would it fit my 2011 GMC. Is it a plug and play situation? Plug and play meaning the harness is already there and no programming of any sort required or would I have to purchase the harness too?

I did this upgrade to my '07,No programming is needed,But you will need a new console wiring harness.

This may sound really stupid , but what does the rear audio control center allow you to do exactly? does it only deal with passengers with headphones?

Good question. I HAVE it and am still wondering.. lol.. I know it can control the ceiling-mount DVD player.. when turned on, I think it turns off the rear door speakers too, and came with 2 sets of wireless headphones, and a remote control (I'm assuming for the DVD player?) Clearly, I havent even taken these things out of the box haha

The reason that I ask is because I have it, but I don't have the DVD player. Does it just allow the people in the back to listen to head phones that are plugged into it?

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)

Vehicles with this feature allow the rear seat passengers to listen to and control any of the music sources: radio, CDs, DVDs, or other auxiliary sources. However, the rear seat passengers can only control the music sources the front seat passengers are not listening to (except on some radios where dual control is allowed). For example, rear seat passengers can control and listen to a CD through the headphones, while the driver listens to the radio through the front speakers. The rear seat passengers have control of the volume for each set of headphones.

 

The radio functionality is controlled by both the RSA and the front radio. Only one band can be tuned to at one time. Changing the band on the RSA or the front radio will change the band on the other system, if they are both sourced to the radio.

 

The RSA functions can be used even while the main radio is off. The front audio system will display the headphone icon when the RSA is on, and will disappear from the display when it is off.

 

Audio can be heard through wired headphones (not included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA. If the vehicle has this feature, audio can also be heard on Channel 2 of the wireless headphones.

 

Depending on the audio system, the rear speakers may continue to play when the RSA audio is active through the headphones.

 

To listen to an iPod or portable audio device through the RSA, attach the iPod or portable audio device to the front auxiliary input (if available), located on the front audio system. Turn the iPod on, then choose the front auxiliary input with the RSA SRCE button.

Yes, it allows you to listen to a different source than the other occupants in the cab. If you have the entertainment center, it allows playing the DVD player etc. I have kids that ride back there and they don't want tp listen to my classic rock and I don't want to listen to theirs. I can get the head unit for the back but I didn't know if the one listed for a 2010 would fit in the space with no modifications. I also didn't know if the harness in there to hook it up or if I need to get it also. In the day, I think they would use one harness and you could just purchase the option and the wiring would be there. Today they don't even give you a darn owners manual pouch.

I traded my 08 GMC and I was almost tempted to go to the truck and take the pouch out of it before I left the dealer. But hey, they gave me one of those very expensive zip lock baggies too.

I too was disappointed to find out the SLT didn't have the rear radio controls. You can only get it with the overhead DVD. But... the kids don't miss it that much since they both have Ipods to listen to. :lol:

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
