Going to pick up my 2012 2500hd this week. Its a LT so no nav or dvd so what options are out there. I see there is a factory headrest with 7 inch lcd out there but are there anything better.

 

Its it better to got with a factory head unit and buy the parts to put the factory nav in. I do have a backup cam option in the rear view mirror.

 

I would love on the head unit

Look like it belongs.

Nav of course

Enter the address while moving

Watch dvd while moving

Work with iphone or itouch

I would like to stream pandora to the radio... Even better if I could control it

Bluetooth phone would be nice.

 

 

Head rest match the ebony leather it ok if i need to cut them

Biggest I can get in there

Good picture quality

Able to watch the same dvd on both or watch different dvds.

Wireless headphones

Can be easy to install or hard dont matter to me. Just needs to be clean install look like it should be there.

I would RUN away from factory stuff in your truck!

 

The system you're describing is an Advent OGM-1 and Advent or Rosen 7" replacement headrest DVD's (no cutting involved) - I couldn't have listed the features any better than your checklist! :thumbs:

 

However, if you wanted to save some money, you could go with the Rosen AV-7550 7" headrest monitors only and feed them the DVD output from the Advent navi - in that scenario, you can still listen to something else or watch iPod video up front while the passengers watch the DVD on the rear monitors - they can even control the DVD from the factory rear console controls.

 

 

 

The Rosen monitors have no DVD in either headrest, but both come with a USB and an AUX input so the rear seat passengers could still listen to or watch their own source while the other one is watching DVD. This system is almost as good as having 2 DVD headrests, but it's almost half the price - you can use the money you save to buy an iPad or a couple iPod Touch's!

Interesting i checked out the links. The rosen with no dvd which i love to get way from will it play divx off the usb? Each kid does have their own iptouch but saidly they are 8gb which is not that many shows.

Walt can you give me pricing and options if I give you a call this week?

 

For got to add on the checklist.. On that nav unit can i use my rear camera it is suppose to be in the rearview.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
