Navagation Unit Question

Hi Guys,

 

As some of you might remember, I bought a new 2010 1500 4X4 Silverado Z-71 LTZ CC/SB in Victory Red. My truck came pretty well loaded; Convenience Package, Off Road Suspension Package, LTZ Plus Package, Rear Vision Camera System, Trailer Brake Controller, 18" Wheels, etc.

 

About the only things missing from our new rig is the sunroof, which I didn't want anyway and the Navagation Unit.

 

My question is this: What would it run to have my local Chevy Garage supply and do the install on an OEM Navigation unit?

 

I guess I should mention that my Chevy Garage has a really wonderful service department.

 

Also, my truck has the one-CD player unit. Frankly, I use the UBS thumb memory gizzy for my tunes (can you imagine a 68-year old geezer really LOVING the UBS flash memory thingie?).

 

By the way, I've owned my new truck since last April and it's been frackin' flawless. It's Victory Red and I love everything about it. BUT, I kind would like a Nav Unit.

 

Or maybe the OnStar Turn-By-Turn could work instead of. It's only an extra $100 a year ... Is this a viable option????

 

Thanks for your information and advice in advance.

I think the unit itself is about $2500 plus an hour or so labor. Plus the antena and vss harness. I would rather have the nav system. But that's just me. You need to decide the best solution for you.

I have the factory nav system and don't like it. Some of the info on my new disc is 5 years old. It trys to take you through every town you go by. And it was way over priced. You can get a very nice hand held unit for a whole lot less. The hand held should have a lot more points of interest on it and I think some of them can be updated on the net for free.

Find a unit from a source other than the dealer. When I get "used" (a lot of times 100 miles or less) 2010+ USB units we get about $1200 for them. You can find it cheaper if you wanted to mess around on eBay or the buy / sell forum here or other truck forum. Just make sure to get a VSS wire and make sure that your service department has programmed one before. Even if they're the nicest guys in the world and you buy it directly from them for full price, you can run into a nightmare with the programming if they don't know what they're doing.

      AFM Experience

      By KARNUT · Posted

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
