That sounds like a ridiculous amount of work to get video on the screen. There has to be an easier way. For example, on my G8 GT, which comes in only white/red display, has no navigation, was bulit in OZ, BUT has an LCD screen and a rear aux input can display video, there's a VIM (vehicle in motion cord/adapter) that you buy to bypass the video playing other than in park, and you just get a cable and connect to the aux input and VOILA - video.

 

With a truck that already is much more advanced in that dept. it has to be easier.

I resolved the issue I was experiencing with playing videos and put together a how to for those that are having issues with the system recognizing their videos. My system would not recognize the file

Just put a video file on a USB stick or SD card and plug it into the truck, why are you doing this on your phone?


I had video play from day 1, although only certain file types work. I believe I had .mpg and .wmv work so far, and they play choppy at best. And yes only in park.


Would be nice to find a solution to have them play smooth though!

The .3gp is smooth as a baby's butt. Did it on my phone because it's simple to download movies and tv shows.

If my truck ever gets here I'll gladly build you all a step by step for getting movies from dvd (or any other source) and onto your trucks screen. In the mean time I can explain my opinion why you are having quality issues. The SD reader they opted for in the GMC is slow (unlike the standards for the last 4 years). It only supports throughput of Class 4 cards and this is where the choppy is coming in. 3GP is a standard that is based on the Mpeg-4 format but designed for small screen and mobile utilization. Because this is designed for small screen (cell honest mainly) it'll play but you have some serious resolution reduction (which may be good enough). The first thing I will test is a mp4 formatted movie. This will likely play smooth compared to a mpg and most definitely compared to wmv.

 

Going on week 6 since I ordered my truck. I have a garage full of accessories just waiting to be installed.

Haha, I was going to say - the first week I had my truck I did the same thing. Just plopped my usb into the truck and watched some videos.

You will have to by-pass the video part with an adapter from an aftermarket place. I'm sure one is out if not they will release one soon..I haven't research it but I'm sure someone will stumble on it. If someone do please post up!

 

Also, the only way to play a video is through USB or SD cards? Can't do it through a DVD? I have a silverado btw...

Would be nice to have Air-Play but I guess it would be asking too much - Apple like to take it s l o w with releasing new features into their products or allowing other manufacturers to include support for Apple's products.

 

Sorry for going a little off topic here but it was a great surprise to find that my Denon receiver have Air-Play.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
