Can you message me how much MVI charges for the phone mirroring module? Would love to run Google maps and movies on the big screen.

I looked at this too but read the GM IO6 wasn't pre-programmed, "had to taken to your dealer for the VIN", that was my problem, my dealer (one of the largest) said they couldn't add the VIN to the IO6 because the factory GM programmers they use can only access by the VIN, and the IO6 was not in the original build by VIN.

 

There are others here or elsewhere that can perform this VIN match by ether the purchase of the IO6 from them already matched, or have a IO6 VIN matched by someone that offers that service.

 

After being educated on this, I decided to not go with the limited IO6, thou it is plug-n-play. Anyway went with a smartphone mirroring system instead. Way more bang for the $.

Thank you for the information. I see in multiple post that no one has been to contact kodiakz. Does anyone know if he is still offering the IO6 HMI module?

Preprogrammed HMI module, gps antenna (can't use splitter as only trucks that come from the factory with nav have the antenna cabling that utilizes the splitter) 15 minutes and you are done! We actually did not need to program the tuner nor the VCIM. all voice commands worked fine. There are aftermarket systems that will work and cost less, just not as well as the oem unit

 

Hi Kodiakz, I've ordered a 2015 gmc sierra with an 8" stereo with no NAV. what's the cost of buying that kit of yours ?

I'm glad they don't show you a day or two later when they realize all of the stuff that doesn't work properly after putting the wrong module for a 14 in. Oh you lost song name display no biggie, oh the frame changes crashed the instrument cluster oh well, oh the media disc player won't play discs anymore too bad. Oh the display text runs off the screen darn! The list goes on and on and on.

I hope it will be a simple swap of modules to get Apple Carplay when it comes out.

It's not. I mean it's not if you want the stuff you already had to work correctly lol

I had looked at them earlier in the year for a Impalla system. At the time I didn't notice a specified system for a Silverado MyLink, but I hadn't purchased a new truck yet.

 

Seeing your post got me thinking (hard to do), the smartphone mirror system I recently installed from MVI/GM-Navigation in my new Silverado, had Cadillac 2015/2016 on the CAN bus and the MyLink interface so perhaps Sintegrate has a Silverado system too.

 

btw- My new smartphone mirror guide is done. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/175444-new-2015-silverado-smartphone-mirroring-guide/

I am interested in kodiakz kit. Please PM me.

 

Thank you!

I think you gents need to start looking for alternative sources for the upgrade.

Gm-navigation.com has a smoking deal on a limited amount of units right now should probably call them asap ;)

I got mine from Anthony @ Gm-navigation.com. Everything was super easy to install, true plug and play. I'm not too mechanically inclined and I installed it with no problem. I got the nav., text, and video in motion. It looks identical to what my buddy's 2015 SLT has who ordered his from the "factory". Kids love the video in motion, took a trip to Beaumont from New Orleans and the system was flawless. Best upgrade to my truck yet!!

    • Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
    • He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
    • Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
    • You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
    • It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.
