Just about to pull the trigger on a OGM-1 from Walt. I just want to confirm/question that the factory BT will continue to work as it does now once the OGM has been installed. Also, it does come with a cable to control my ipod classic right?

Many Thanks!

Yes to both questions. I have the OGM-1 and use the factory Bluetooth in my truck. Works just like it did with the stock radio. I have the OGM-1 Bluetooth mic ran and mounted in case I decide to start using, I just keep it turned off on the radio.

I like the fact that it shuts down the hvac as well as the music. Does the ogm do that? If so then I will switch to the parrot system.

I find the factory system to be more friendly. I know the phone numbers I want to call, and just press the button, say dial, then say the number. Hands never leave the wheel, eyes never leave the road. The OGM-1 does however have some nice features on the bluetooth. You can scroll through call logs for one.

The factory one does not adjust the HVAC on non-auto HVAC though.

My take on the OGM-1 blutooth vs factory

Factory retains stearing wheel controls of calls. Which I prefer to the screen. The downside is that the OGM-1 amplifier does not come on as quickly as the factory. So if you are on a call and get into the truck the factory used to take over fairly seamlessly. Now with the OGM-1 the factory bluetooth takes the call before the OGM-1 amplifier is on..... Not a good thing. Also when you exit the truck and are on a call, as soon as you open ANY door the radio goes off and so does the amplifier, but the factory still has control of the call... Also not good.

 

If you utilize OGM-1 bluetooth then the unit works much better as it does not take control until the amplifier (itself) is ready. But you loose steering wheel controls. It also looses HVAC control.

 

You can leave them both on, but the handoff from one to the other during a call is not often smooth. Again the issues when you are on a call when you start the truck.

 

I wish OGM-1 would utilize the same amplifier controls as factory, including RAP until the DRIVER opens the door.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
