It will let you set programed destination in your address book while driveing with voice commands. Also if you have it displaying poi you can touch them on the screen and it will take you to them. but it will not let you search them. I only tapped one wire (the VSS wire). these are new parts not used from ebay. It is no different than you going to the parts counter and buying an accessory. The dealer actually sells these to upgrade your vehicle.

I finish my install today and I am very pleased with it. Here are the pictures summing it up.

The pictures above show how to remove the bottom of the driver sid dash. There are 2 phillips screws and one 10 millimeter bolt. After the hardware and fuse panel cover have been removed just give it a good tug and the spring clips will release.

The above picture shows the 2 seven milimeter screw and 2 philiips screws that need to be removed for the center piece to be taken out. just give a good tug as well and the clip will release as well.

With the cover removed the VCIM is exposed.

As above plug in the two wire harness into the empty ports to the right in the photo. Then snap the VCIM back in place and route the wire in to the radio cavity. I did not include the disassembly for the radio part as it is discussed in my opening post.

With the radio removed I pulled the harnesses free to access the main harness. My set up has 2 t-harnesses. The first one is for my XM install that done at the dealer as an accessory as my truck did not come with it. The second harness is for my amp that takes place of the bose as my truck did not ship with Bose and I do not feel like upfitting my truck for it. The radio actually has pre outs coming out in place of the speaker wires. With a Bose unit you can solder RCA jacks on the what normally would be your speaker wires and hook up and aftermarket amp with out line converters. As stated before the amp that came with the kit is 10X better sounding than the factory radio.

Above on the main dash harness I pulled the locking clip out of the connector and inserted the black wire in slot 5 and the red wire in slot 4 connecting the navigation unit to the VCIM. once you have fully seated the deuche pins lock push the clip lock back in and plug back into the t-harness or radio depending on what your set up is. BTW the XM accessory kit has all wires passed though as well as the amp harness.

I took a break as it is hot as hell outside in Florida to cut the hole in my upper glove box for the USB port for my AUX. This took about 1.5 hours to cut this as i had to repeativly score the cut with a razor over and over and over and over.... You get the point. I could have used a dremel but they tend to melt the plastic not cut making a mess and possible ruining the part.

I ran the usb cable into the radio cavity and placed though the cut hole in the glove box. With the USB port attached and the radio all hook up I fired it up to verify proper operation. yay it worked!!! so i buttoned it up. The glove box is retained with spring clip and two torx screws (I do not remember the size but I will update when I go out the garage and check). You have to install the glove box prior to pushing the port in as it will interfer with the dash inner structure.

There you go it is all put back together, and I am very happy. At first the voice rec did not work but i believe it was due to the VCIM have to become aware of its new connection. BTW the pink ipod is for my pink 1939 Ford's stereo.

As I have already stated before, I am glad I spent the time to connect the voice harness. Once you get the keywords down it functions flawlessly even with the sound of my exhaust. Here is a demo video I made.

I have read in places that with this body style truck onstar can push nav directions to your unit, but i have yet to try. If anyone has experience with it let me know.

Can I get the contact info for these nav systems? I see people referring to Gregg at CPS audio. Did a google search, but did not come back with much. I really like the look of these nav units, and going factory is definitely what i want to do. thanks!

How's it going hzhardy. Do you happen to know if this is doable on a 2007 NBS Silverado WT? Has definitely sparked my interest.

 

Thanks and nice right up btw.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
