2012 Oem Nav Unit Swap To 2010 Possible?


Recommended Posts

Posted

It may be too early to ask, but there are plenty of good GM Techs on here that may be able to answer this.

 

GM has finally updated the factory NAV system to be similar to the one found in my wife's 2010 Terrain with harddrive based info and better graphics and integration. Does anyone know if this unit can be retrofit into a 2010 Avalanche? The new NAV systems also feature NAV traffic and weather. Would these two features also be available after the swap? Is the XM radio ID and functionality built into the NAV units or is is separate? I currently have NAV traffic on my 2010 and don't really have any need for NAV weather, but I don't want to lose NAV traffic either.

 

I would assume a reprogram / flash / configure would be required after the install?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I also see the LTZ Avalanches now get heated steering wheels. It looks like GM is emptying the parts bin before the refresh in 2014.

I also noticed at least in Canada the cost of the NAV system was cut from $3200 to $1495 for 2012. For that price I would have ordered it.

    • Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!
    • I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

    • Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
