I did this by running a USB cable (male mini to male A) from the backside of the dash trim (female mini port) to the media hub (female A port). This lets me utilize the factory port for day to day use and if I want to play video from the phone I simply unplug the spare cable from the hub (which I mounted to the upper glove box) and plug in the jlink cable. I wasn't able to utilize the factory cable in the truck but someone else was. I used old USB cables/adaptors I had kicking around from past projects when I tired to keep that cable though so I may have had a bad component somewhere.

When I Installed my OGM-1 I was left with a small gap between the gauge cluster and the trim piece that surrounds the radio (SLE style dash). After trying many different things, I was able to figure out the issue. When installing the radio push the unit to the left, then screw it into place with the four 7mm hex screws. Since the radio houses mounting slots for the dash, it will help re-align the dash piece. My truck might be an isolated case, but I figured I would post this anyway.

Thanks MikeNH my chime volume is now set at a level for those of us who have been around too many jet engines.

 

Watt, I agree that "key in ignition" may present a challenge but the factory radio did it. However, the factory radio may have done it using hardware. From looking at the schematic, I believe 12 volts is still present at the radio after RAP is gone. So maybe they can use that somehow. Thanks for inquiring. For the most part, I really like the radio but there are a few tweaks I would like to see. Is there someplace where we can list those so that the manufacture will get them?

 

 

Factory radio has 12 volts at all time to keep the clock correct. Would not surprise me if GM uses that feed to also power the hardunit when it is shut off, making the chimes work.

has anyone had this problem?:

 

rear seat controls:

1) when rear seat controls powered on, I loose all sound in the main system speakers. I only have sound in the rear seat control head phones. As soon as I power off the rear seat controls, sound returns to the system. I can still switch sources in the head unit, and everything visually works, but no sound as long as the rear is powered up.

 

2) On the rear seat controls source button, I can only switch sources between the FM and DISC. It wont switch to xm, am, or usb/ ipod. I was under the impression that it would switch between all sources (like the OEM unit), but would have no channel control on xm.

 

I am guessing this is some sort of CAN code problem, but I'm curious if anyone else is having this issue.

 

My set up:

2011 GMC Acadia SLT

It's OEM set up was the non NAV CD player w/ USB, rear seat controls (no OEM rear dvd), but ive since added a rear over head monitor.

Ditto on Walt's list as well as aligning the radio slightly to the left for proper trim fitment.

 

THIS UNIT IS AMAZING, VERY PLUG AND PLAY with LOTS OF VERSATILITY AND FEATURES, Here are some INSTALL Notes AND a few kinks to be addressed...

 

-Running all the wires through the same opening as the climate controls allows the unit to sit easily flush.

 

-Removing the trim is a REAL pain, but once removed, I suggest crimping them down a bit with a plier, this will allow easier future removal for any changes or mods & still be plenty snug!

 

-For those without factory bluetooth, opening the sealed grille/vent in the PS of overhead console works as a nice hidden factory like mic mounting point.

 

-The wire can run as Walt has described in the install videos or just as easily without removing the weatherstripping or glove box along the headliner and inside the A-pillar along the windshield and under the same trim as the gps antenna.

 

-for extra cameras you can even add a $50-$200 multiplexer or switcher and have up to 4 camera angles on one screen or alternate views. If you want to get really creative tap into the turn signals to activate different cameras for blind spots and so on. - side cams can mount nice and clean under the side view mirror with 3M. - (have yet to try to find a solid live line for turn signal activation, perhaps at relay)

 

-The splash screens are super easy to make and add using the following link for software: http://www.flyaudio.net/download/Logo%20DIY%20Tool%20English%20Ver.rar

and the following link for instructions: http://www.flyaudio.net/download/LOGO%20DIY.pdf

 

-For those looking to output the ipod to the rear monitors consider tapping the rca or 3.5mm with a splitter and keeping the jlink plugged in for ipod control.

 

- For fun throw in a WDTV and PS2 with wireless controllers

 

-NOTES & KINKS: This unit is VERY close to OEM, BUT: (for those as particular as I am)

 

1. the chimes sound different, the reverse sensors work nice on screen but are much higher pitch & more abnoxious,

2. the turn signals even when adjusted in the DIC and setup for Bose are still loud and louder than the chime levels which from factory are the opposite

3. the chimes are also not as `smooth` as they often skip or bounce a bit

4. it would be great to output the jlink to the rears without re-wiring or splitting

5. fuel gauge chime may not function

6. IMPORTANT - the delayed door lock chime does NOT function, you may easily lock yourself out if you did not know you hit the button!

7. *in OEM the 10 minute or so RAP (retained accessory power) normally cuts off ONLY when the DRIVER Door is opened, the OGM will shutdown when ANY door is opened!*

8. the navigation takes time to load on every trip and is quite slow in address input, it also requires *acceptance* every time you run the vehicle

9. the device is general slower than OEM including but not limited to activation of the RSE (rear seat entertainment) audio controls which create a pause in audio function when activated on or off

10. the usual issues regarding key-in-ignition chime and other quirks mentioned on this site before...

11. Let`s see some Voice Entry Command Navigation for destination and other functions! - address input is SO slow

12. STILL A GREAT PRODUCT and with product support as it is right now, these and other issues will continue to be resolved.

 

EDIT:

We also noticed a change to the night mode - with the OGM-1 it seems to activate even with only the DRL`s once the Fog lamps are turned on

The volume down during reversing is a nice touch! ;)

When using XM and then operating ON Star (which comes from DS only now) and the call is ended, the XM audio may not come back without power cycle.

      I wonder how much carbon is on all those high mileage valves?

      AFM Experience

      By Atlas · Posted

      When I had a Bumper subscription for a few days when I needed to run title histories on cars I was looking at, I decided to look up a few of my old/past vehicles.   My 2015 Silverado was still actively registered and it last sold in 2024 with 160k on the clock. No idea if that's on the original engine but someone's keeping it on the road or the original AFM stuff is still going.   It used 0w20. I remember feeding it Mobil 0w20 AFE for the first 30k of its life on <5k OCI's.     Edit: Just did a nationwide search on Autotrader for 2015-2025 Silverados with 5.3's and sorted by highest mileage first.   357k 352k 292k 291k 290k 277k 271k 268k 266k 259k 256k   High mileage on a modern 5.3 doesn't seem all that uncommon, but that's just searching mostly dealer ads on Autotrader. FB Marketplace has all kinds of high mileage 5.3's going back to 2007

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can't say I have ever heard of someone getting that type of mileage out of a set of tires even though they rotated on a regular basis but without a doubt if the front end gets wear and those tires are no longer able to track straight it scrubs them off, and driving style and road surface make a huge difference as well.    However that is not what prompted me to comment as it was the new tire theme of sitting in storage waiting to be used scenario. I am sure some tires can last for quite a while in storage if its not too warm and out of the sunlight but unfortunately some tires the way they their rubber compound is formulated they can age and dry out even in a reasonably decent storage location. My brother ran into this maybe three years ago when he was looking at the tires that were on his dually truck and a combination of wear on the rear ones and noticing that the front tires had some cracks around the sidewall of the tire not far from the bead but he had replaced only the front ones not long ago with 2 of the remaining 6 he had left from the initial two sets of takeoffs he had all bought at the same time .... 10 years ago ! ( the years fly by, a truck that only gets used a bit to haul a camper during the summer and sits in a shed for a large part of the year ). That second set of 6 tires, two he had put on the front prior like I said and they had very little wear but those cracks were now present. So we go into the shed where the other 4 tires had been stored all this time and every one of them had the same cracks in the sidewalls and so in the end it amounted to throwing away 6 brand new but 10 year old takeoff tires into the dump that he got a deal on at a tire shop because they aged out. They were a Ford factory equipment BFG tire and those tires did not age well compared to some tires I've seen far older then that and did not show that type of aging. True, they always say up here anyway that 7 years is sort of a limit for age by rights, we don't have the intense prolonged heat that many of you have down in the states that just cook tires and depends on where the vehicle sits when not in use. GB, another words maybe had you bought a set of tires to store it would have been fine as long as you used them up fast enough but there are no guarantees when it comes to rubber, tires or of that other type stored in some guys wallets 😆

      Open Door Chimes When Key is Out

      By Head South · Posted

      2020 2500 HD...I had some trouble getting the key into the ignition switch but went in fine after applying some extra effort. Since then, the door chimes when open when the key is out of the ignition. Also, when I lock the doors with the switch on the arm rest, the driver door locks but then unlocks. (I can lock everything fine with the fob) The message on the little screen displays the "Engine Hours"...kinda weird.   I'm guessing something happened to the ignition switch and it thinks the key is still in there. I unplugged the batteries for 20 minutes, no change. There are a number of videos on YouTube but nothing I can find that address this specific issue. Ideas appreciated, thank you.
