Does this unit fit the "LT / SLE" dash style, or only the "SLT / LTZ" dash? Pictures on the site only show the LTZ/SLT dash. I'm not sure if the two styles have identical opening and mounts?

The dash openings are identical - one radio fits all trucks!

You can see photos of this unit in both style dashes in our Installation Photo Database

This method should work with the new firmware version: I've been told that the reverse trigger input (Green/White REVERSE + lead in Advent harness) will still be live and will turn on the camera input whenever it sees 12v. I've not yet tested this, but we should be able to get the camera on while driving feature now by simply toggling 12v to that reverse signal lead on the deck. So, standard operation will be that the camera will trigger as normal in reverse (triggered via the LAN), but when you want to see your camera while driving, wire the camera to ACC 12v, then toggle ACC 12v to the reverse input (for almost all NBS trucks, you can get this from pin 8 at X14 on left I/P Junction Block) and you should have camera view. If anyone tries this, please post your experience to see if it works as outlined.

 

 

Hey Walt,

I got mine yesterday, and I'm a little confused about powering/triggering the camera based on what you said above. You say pin 8 at X14 is the reverse trigger, but on the diagram it says pin 8 on X10. I just want to make sure I'm on the right pin. Also, just to clarify, I just need to run a wire from that pin through a switch to the green/white wire on the deck to trigger the camera whenever I want, right?

Also, I want to echo what everyone else has said about you. Top notch customer service, great job!

Scott,

 

The method I outlined above to trigger the camera while driving WILL NOT WORK with the new firmware (10/28/11). They have put that feature on hold and since this firmware revision removed the ability to trigger the camera input simply by supplying a video signal on that wire, we really have no way of activating it while driving now.

 

The reverse wire I called out was where we used to have to get the reverse trigger for the deck to turn on the camera input. Now you don't have to make any connections to trigger the camera - it gets the trigger via data through the LAN, so all you have to do is plug it in and tell the deck you have a camera ("Menu" - "Settings" - Rear Camera "on").

 

As far as hooking the camera to accessory power, use this diagram and use PIN 8 on port X14 for camera accessory power (red wire on camera), and use PIN 1 for camera ground (black wire) - you DO NOT need to use the reverse wire - I just added it for reference.

 

PLEASE NOTE: THE DIAGRAM REFERENCED IN THE (November 1, 2011 7:42 AM) POST ABOVE WAS IN ERROR & WAS REMOVED FROM OUR SERVER - THIS IS THE CORRECT DIAGRAM FOR ALL POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS AT X14 & X10:

Is there any news if there will be anymore firmware updates anytime soon?

 

 

Talked to engineers yesterday and the rep today, but there's no firm timetable yet. So far they've released them every 2-3 months (updates so far: April-May-July-October), but as the bugs get squashed and features start to get filled in, my guess is they'll come a little slower. Having said that, we have a few feature requests in the queue that I hope we'll see sooner than later.

 

I'll see if I can get anything more definitive and post what I know...

 

Hey Walt,

Is there somewhere we can post feature requests so that Advent can see exactly what users are looking for? I'm liking it so far, but there are some things that would make it excellent.

Already done - Just got off the phone with my contact at Advent and I'll be starting a new thread asking for feedback and feature requests...

Walt can you put a bigger clock in navigation system or change it side?

 

 

It's already in the list, Serge! We'll see what the options are after our meeting in Vegas...

It really is impressive. I spent far more installing a Pioneer unit in my HHR and there was only one firmware update after I bought it before they quit developing it. Good luck ever getting Pioneer or anyone else for that matter to listen to the wishes of the consumers. Its nice to know that you can still buy a piece of technology this day in age that isn't a "dead" technology a few months after you buy it. It's a great unit already and can't wait to see how much better it gets!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.

      Howdy! New to the forum of course! My name is Casey, just picked up a 2024 high country midnight edition. First “new” truck in 24 years for me. Driving a 1998 Z71 since 2002. Have been on the GMT400 forum with lots of good info and help there. Nervous about driving these newer trucks and all their electronics…. Did a lot of work on the Z71 myself over the years. New truck is definitely a nice upgrade after 24 years. Photo of the old and new, still keeping the Z71 - has 320,000 miles on her and still running well!
