You don't need a big drive. 4gb should hold a few movies. Plug the card into the slot and MYLINK should recognize it. I forget exactly how to find it in MYLINK. There is an icon on some screen for videos.

There is an android app TubeMate from the internet (not the google play app store) that is super easy, jut go to a youtube video you want and when you push the play triangle on the video, it asks what

Will the mylink radio play HD video files? What is the max resolution it will play? I got it to play low quality video files basically 480P but it won't recognize any higher resolution that that.

A little help needed for a non tech guy. How do I convert videos(tv shows) on I tunes to a format that I can put on an SD card and play in my truck. Thanks

I think its illegal to have any video playing on the display while in drive since it can distract the driver, but on my 08 I installed a Pac Tr7 toggle switch with my Alpine headunit to trick it into playing videos while the truck is in drive. Not sure if that switch only works with Alpine headunits though.

Here is a link to the switch on amazon.

The manual says something about playing dvd's. I tried it but it didn't work for me. It just tried to read the dvd as a cd. Maybe you need a certain model radio? I didn't try using the E brake though.

I tried playing videos on mine as well with no success. When my daughter is in the back seat and the wife is taking just much time to finish shopping, I'd like the options of having a couple of her movies on a stick and playing them on the dash.

It's not worth it for video. I tested several videos of various sizes and file types. For the ones that did work, the playback was choppy and out of sync with the audio.

You can watch video with the truck in Park. If you put truck into gear, the video playback stops but the audio will continue.

Certain formats will play smooth as silk.

I agree with MotoMedic, the video playback is really not worth it. The video is pixelated, the audio is out of sync, and as far as I can tell, you can't fast forward, rewind or pause. But I did get it work and I'll share what I know.

 

I used a Transcend 32 GB class 10 SDHC flash memory card I got from Amazon, about 20 bucks.

 

I used a program called "Handbrake" that you can download for free from Source Forge to convert and compress video files. For instance I ripped a DVD of "Battle: Los Angeles" with a program called Nero (not free, but you can find free DVD rippers with no trouble) Then I used Handbrake to convert those DVD files to it's "iPad" preset, this converts it to an MP4 file and shrinks it to less than one Gig.

Here is a YouTube video of a company that has figured out a way to use video in motion.

this looks interesting. wonder if this could work with a modern game system? I have a spare xbox one just sitting here waiting to be used for something

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.

 

 

You think with the amount of money these trucks cost they would have not been so cheap on the SD Card readers...

A Xbox would definitely work!! The guy in the video tells you that you can use any DVD or Game Console player to play video with!!

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 files on the SD card so I researched best I could using information from this site and others to experiment with formats and resolved.

 

This may be basic information for some but I'm old and not as familiar with some of the new tech so I had to figure it out. Hopefully there are others like me that it may help. (ignore bad grammar and spelling)!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
