Does that price include the cell phone on screen app?

 

We have come up with a new program that makes this a little easier to get this done. You can send the module in to be programmed if you'd like...however your vehicle will basically be out of commission while the work is being done. If you would like to send it in we can do the service for $299.00 plus shipping back to you, which cost would depend on where you live and how quick you want it. Turnaround time once we receive the module would be a min. of 24 hrs to get it back out the door to you…it will not go back out the same day we receive the package.

Option 2 is a lot more popular; we can send you out a preprogrammed module to swap out for $349.00 plus shipping. This is normally $399.00 but we discounted it for forum members. We will be sending you out an $800.00 piece of equipment so there will be a core form that will need to be filled out and sent back to have on file. There will be no additional charge upfront, but the form is just to guarantee that we get your old locked module back to use in new condition.

Either option you go with the unlock will give you NAV Entry In-Motion (as long as your vehicle is equipped with factory navigation), Video In-Motion from your DVD/Blue Ray (If equipped with the factory overhead entertainment system), along with USB/SD MP4 & DIVIX In Motion as well as allowing for the viewing of the text messages in motion and not just having to listen to them which doesn’t always come out right.

Two questions ..... how well is your software ? And how does it work? Do you plug a computer into the module and just add the video in motion ? Or do you guy completely rewrite the software. Second question ... is if I'm driving threw town would someone be able to stop by and have the video in motion added ? Possibly for a cheaper price ?

We are not set up to drive through the town for this service. We are doing 3-4 of these a day and we do all custom programing on a bench. If you want to get this service done; we have to follow a very strict procedure so we don’t get modules mixed up with other customers vehicles. This programming service is extremely custom and is not offered by anyone else in the country. The only way to get this done is to choose from the 2 options noted in the previous post.

If the vehicle is serviced by a dealer, is there any risk of your coding being over written? What about during nav data updates?

Sub'd. Just bought a leftover 2014 Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71. I'd love to have the SMS feature. I'll have to get this at some point.... once I adjust to my new payments!

Currently the way they perform the updates, we are unaffected. Nav updates will not affect us either. Now…can they get crazy and over write what we have done, sure. We have yet to have that happen, but if it does we would just ask that you provide us a copy of an RO showing it was in for service and we would be happy to redo it…there would just be some freight costs involved.

Cell phone imaging onto the screen is completely separate piece…external modules that get added to the system

It has been awhile since anyone posted to this topic, are these options still being offered? If so, what are the current or possible future ramifications with regards to the stance that Chevy has taken on ownership of vehicle software? Will you still offer reprogramming if for some reason there is some kind of overwrite?

I have an Android phone with navigation on it (blue arrow). I love it because you can view in satellite and see actual buildings etc. Is there a way to get that to play on the screen in my 2014 GMC Denali screen with nav?

So I see on the web site that Smartphone Display/Navigation can be added. Does this upgrade include the 2013-2015 GM Video In Motion and Navigation Unlock too or would I have to buy both features?

Hey all,

So where can I get this and how much is it? Also does anyone know how I can enable video while moving? I just need to run some ads while the vehicle is moving for my passengers.

Hi, I just bought a new Chevy Blazer 2019 and it doesn't have the text app in Chevy Mylink. Is there anyway that I can install it??

Thanks! 

That app no longer exists as it was replaced by car play and android auto default_smile.png

 

There have been talks of possibly putting it back in the app shop for people who want it so keep your eyes peeled.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
