No. Brought it to the dealer. The said they re-programmed and updated the HMI and radio. I have my doubts they re-programmed or updated anything, but they did at least re-flash it because they took the nav option off. When I got home from the dealer, I put my factory original HMI back in and fired the truck up. Everything works like a charm....except the lack of navigation....for now!

No worries :D ...thanks for the call on Friday. You are in the right hands now...the number one thing that sets us apart from the rest, is this simple fact.....we don't stop until its right and works the way its supposed to. We'll get you working properly!!

A few people said it didn't matter what HMI I used as long as the programming was correct. I'm not too savvy on vehicle electronics so I don't know. I just want to make sure what I put in my truck works. Like I said to kodiak....I'm in the Army and don't have time to deal with these issues. I just wanted something that works.

Yup those are the people you DONT want to listen to because they literally have no clue about what they are doing, what else changed to accommodate the change in the HMI IE the rest of the stuff on the most bus LOL The only company that can actually do REAL custom programming is MVI, I've seen time and time again an yukon calibration in a Sierra from other places. The good news is it appears you've gotten ahold of MVI which means you'll be set in no time :)

I gave up trying to get in touch with kodiakz. I had my dealer install the IO6 HMI module this week. They did the VIN programming but not the XM change or OnStar. It took me about 15 minutes to get it thru to the customer service rep that my radio would now support traffic and weather. I have not contacted OnStar yet as I can manually enter a destination by typing it in or thru voice recognition. I can also pull an address from my phones contact list. Eventually I will get around to calling OnStar to deal with them. Pretty happy with it so far. The weather and traffic functions are pretty cool as well.

If you would like some tips on getting this going with On-Star Text/Call and I'll give you some advise. It can be rather frustrating getting this done...so knowing the ropes can make it a little easier.

Thanks Sir!! Definitely not trying to toot our own horn here....but we do take this stuff VERY seriously. We do it full time day in and day out and its all we do. Not just something we attempt to do on the side just to make a quick buck and run or give up when it doesn't work like its supposed to. Way to much to keep up with to just paly around with it!!

JKief...Thank You for all you do for our country and for making our freedom serious business as well :flag:

I asked my dealer about doing that and they said it can't be done, very interesting!

 

 

 

I mirrored my phone for less than half that price, with many many more options now than what you are getting.

 

Also your truck will not be original with the io6 mod installed, but a mirroring system is not a mod or hack and (depending on the brand chosen) is it plug-n-play so just unplug before you trade.

 

The system I installed I added a mounted HDMI/USB port but that was my choice, it can all be concealed if one so decides.

 

Give this a read; http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/175444-new-2015-silverado-smartphone-mirroring-guide/

 

 

Jesus, that could buy premium aftermarket navigation/head units for that much.

 

The sad part is, a smartphone made in the last ~4 years and google maps/waze and any one of a thousand weather apps does all that for free. It's literally even cheaper to buy a 2nd hand smartphone, buy it it's own data plan on your cell service for almost 5 years and literally just leave it in the vehicle in a nav mount.

 

The purpose of the rant, though, is that $1,200 extra is just too much after the original cost of the vehicle.

Pretty normal to hear from the dealer that it can't be done. We get that phone call at least 5 times a day. It totally can be done, done correctly and for less than $1200.00 if you are doing it yourself. We make it pretty easy to do yourself, so definitely call if you have some interest.

Shadetree1 did an AMAZING job doing a write up on the A/V module and smartphone interface in the other thread. He also has mastered how to make this work using voice recognition as well....so there are definitely some pretty cool options available utilizing your smartphone. That will be the next thread I jump in and have some fun with...putting together a pretty cool new video as we speak showing this being added without intruding on anything at all :D

Found this for $682.50 but you have to have a dealer burn your VIN into it.....

IMO, thats a high price for just adding the limited GM NAV system.

 

BTW- didn't mention what version of 2015 or 2015.5 MyLink it is able to work with or anything about the GPS antenna interface to the shark fin.

IO6 is IO6. Only works on 2015 with IO5. It's not limited, you're getting an IO6. Just gotta call on star and xm for the upgrades.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
