For anyone that has installed this unit... how does it work? Does it charge the ipod? (I heard earlier versions put out the wrong voltage for the older ipod devices) and after install, did you need a Tech II reprogram??

I have one.

 

I use it with my iPhone. It basically intercepts xm (both can be accessed). After the iOS 4.0 update the charging voltage wouldn't agree with it. I found an extension cable that reduced the voltage to 5.0v so that works now. No programming needed, very simple install.

Excellent. I had heard it needed a tech II programming to get the XM working again after the install. Good news that you don't, I'll do the install myself now.

 

 

 

It's the GM oem unit

It's strictly a iPod unit, allowing control from the stereo buttons or steering wheel controls, with song info displayed on the stereo readout. The stereo control the iPod functions.

How much does it cost? My iSimple wont upgrade and wont work on my 4th gen Ipod so I would like to get it back and I didnt like the way that it worked with the XM (it took a little while to be able to change the channel on XM and it cut out a couple times at start up. Is this unit better in that respect?

 

Is there a link to this product? Sorry for all the questions!

It's about $150 from the dealer. Can read up on it on the GM accessories site. Not sure the address off-hand.

Make sure you double check your radio. it says it works with Us8 i think but it doesnt. you have to have a radio that has an XM modual for that to work. if not go with the i simple. i have it and it works great on all my ipods/iphones. it isnt as good as the factory system but it works well enough. i havent found it to skip or cut out.

Ended up getting it.... works like a charm. Takes a bit to navigate around using the buttons ont he radio, but once you get the hang of it, piece of cake. Charges my new iPhone fine. Ran the cable into the center console of my SLT.

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
