I went for a Kenwood 9980HD and would greatly recommend it if you are willing to spend the money. The audio controls and settings as well as the ridiculous amount of inputs and things it can do is absolutely insane. Full speech controls, blue tooth, garmin nav, dual ipod inputs, dual usb inputs (I have an external HDD connected to one and leave one for random stuff) as well as a full 13 frequency equalizer for each of the three channels (front, center and rear). I have owned a lot of different head units and have never seen anything that comes close to the 9980HD. Honestly if you have the money to spend I can't recommend it enough.

I think most of the non-oem looking ones like that (kenwood, pioneer, alpine, etc.) have better interfaces overall then the advent. Of course they usually do not integrate as well or as easily. Not to mention that kenwood is more money, no? But the thing I hate the most is they tend to look so out of place. In all of my previous cars I have always gone with the aftermarket head units (non oem-looking types) and it never looks right.

 

Got any pics of your install?

I just purchased the Advent OGM-1 nav unit from ADC Mobile after reading this thread and others like it. The OGM-1 was the best way to get the features that were important to me in a radio/nav. The installation was easy and straight forward. I did have to make a couple of calls to Walt at ADC Mobile for support and he was a big help. I really like the fit, just like factory with none of the spacers and adapter bezels that make the installation look amateurish or crudely done. I didn't get the backup camera with the initial purchase but I'll be adding that option soon! The OMG-1 is a good value for the dollar.

WHERE DID YOU GUYS BUY YOUR ADVENT 0GM1? I CANT FIND ANY LOCAL STORES THAT HAVE THEM

Old thread, but yes, most of us got our units from Walt ad ADC Mobile. Great guy. Great support.

I am very happy with my OGM-1. If you decide to go that route, then Walt is your man. Go ahead and give him a call. He will answer all of your questions

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
