You should call Gregg at CPS Audio/Video at 707-588-9300, he would be the best person to talk to about them, very friendly person to talk to, he answered all of the questions I asked.

Just curious, what is different about the new gm nav radios compared to the one I could have gotten in my 2011 duramax? I have an advent ogm1 installed and really like it but factory is always nice if it provides all the features I need.

For one it has an internal hard drive to store the map data on and for you to also store mp3's on as well. It now has XM weather feature and a cleaner easier to use user interface compared to my brothers 07 GMC Acadia.

Good to know. Does it have the capability of controlling Pandora right from the head unit like the OGM-1 and the MyLink in other Chevy vehicles? Also is it capable of playing DVD's on the head unit while driving and/or outputting video signal to headrest monitors?

It does not play pandora but yes it does play DVDs and yes with the purchase of the video harness from Gregg at CPS audio video you can output dvd to external monitors and also input from external dvd players if you want too. As for viewing DVD's in motion you can only do it with the external monitors, you can't watch them on its own screen while you drive without a lockpick device.

is it compatible with the on star remote link app? so you can remote start it from your iPhone? or is that a model year issue?

Unfortunately it has nothing to do with the remote link from onstar, that is a complete separate system from the Navigation radio.

Aaron do you have much experience with the Advent OGM-1? Still kind of thinking about switching to the 2012 Nav unit. Just wondering what your thoughts were on comparing the two. Something to be said for being factory. About the only function I would lose would be my Pandora control. I assume the Pandora on the 2012 Nav unit will display song info and stuff from Pandora, and let you change tracks with the steering wheel controls. Just have to use the phone to change playlists, thumbs up, thumbs down, ect.

I have no experience with the Advent unit, I have never had the chance to play with one yet, I just wanted it all OEM in my truck. The 2012 GM OEM Nav unit will not interact at all with Pandora, you will have to use the aux input jack and control Pandora completely through the phone.

Hey Guys,

 

Has anyone attempted to upgrade their 07-11 GM Truck and install the 2012 GM Hard Drive Navigation Unit? I have my 2011 Sierra Denali and would really like to learn more, or possibly pursue this upgrade to receive the added features of this unit.

 

My 2011 Sierra Denali appears to have different plugs on the back of the radio, compared to the new 2012 units. I am assuming maybe there is a different audio harness which ties into the actual dash harness, as all the other electronics in the dash appears to be the same, except for the radio.

 

I'm all ears, and wouldn't mind learning about what it takes to make this happen!

 

Does anyone have any input??

 

 

Will you be installing yourself? I know it's a bit difficult, but definitely do-able. I recently helped a family member do this exact same upgrade & it took a little expertise to get it up and running. You will need a wire harness conversion kit. I got all everything from www.oempartsco.com. Radio can be pre-programmed as well, but that's extra, yet convenient. The conversion kit came with all the necessary wire harnesses and installing the gps antenna wasn't too difficult. Here's their email if you want to contact them yourself: [email protected]. They were very helpful and worked with us on the price for everything also, which was a big plus in my book.

Brand new to this forum and new to GM.

 

I just bought a 2012 Yukon Denali and getting familiar with the Navigation system with Hard Drive. This seems pretty useless for music as most will have an iPhone or ipod to connect and run libraries from or connect to pandora etc... I did think it would be sweet to load all the kids DVD's from so they aren't all rolling around in the console. Is there a way to rip DVD's and have them played on the infotainment system?

 

Thanks for any advice,

 

Matt.

Does anyone have, or been able to find a video of the navigation in use? I'm looking at adding the hdd navigation but would like to see the unit in use, giving directions to see if I even like the software before investing the money..


Only thing that comes up in searches is the older models and not many showing in use other then flips between menus

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
