Well if it is the antennae cable is that too hard to replace for a DIY? Did the company who said it was the antennae cable have a recommendation on what would be a better cable type/connection to use? If so it may be at least a way to remedy the situation if GM does not feel there needs to be a fix.

If the company will send me a cable or tell me were to buy one I will install it myself.

I think it is a little thicker(more shielding) and has connectors with tighter fit to the cable. You can try calling or e mailing the Ibiquity people. It is their tech they should have a recommendation.

I have sent an e-mail to Ibiquity, I will also contact my dealer tomorrow to see if they can get me a better antenna cable. Thanks for the info.

replacing the antenna would be extremely easy

 

replacing the antenna cable is not that hard but will take a long time, and gm radios have always had cheap antenna wires and had great reception.

 

Has anyone done anything that has improved reception with the intelli-stink radio???

I reset my presets after turning off HD, still lost the signal but it wasn't as bad.

If the shielding issue is just at the connections wrapping aluminum foil around the connection will help. It is crude way of fixing an issue but it worth a shot. I will try to find the cable over the weekend.

I agree with 02SierraZ71 about Black03Yukon, the only one that is wasting their time is you.

If the thread doesn’t affect you, then stop commenting.

Thanks klrrdr for your help.

Have talked at length to service manager about this. received an e-mail from Ibiquity saying thanks for your feedback. Does anyone have a contact name and number for Ibiquity technical support. I would like for them to give me the name and part number of an after market antenna cable I could try. I believe that my dealer will even help with installation.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
