Diagnostics is almost useless, it is just a snapshot of what you get on your dash and in the remotelink

 

I rarely use those pages in remotelink too, I just use the remote functions

I would love to know how you managed the Google Now Auto start of the vehicle. I have a rooted Note 3 (and an unrooted Note 4 (AT&T), which I assume I cannot use), and a Moto 360. I have downloaded all items on your list. A step by step set of instructions would be awesome. I spent all day yesterday researching. I think I figured a few pieces out, but not how to tap buttons on the various screens in the Remote Link app once it is open, or how to enter pin.

 

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

FYI - love the mods on your truck. Pretty awesome. I have a 2013 Escalade ESV. I especially liked the qi charger idea.

 

Regards,

You might need an android device at home to do the automation, siri to run a macro to send a message to trigger the android to run the RemoteLink app on android. iOS is too limited.

I mostly use Remotelink for the Vehicle Status page. I know it's just what you can see on your dash, but it's good for if you need to know some of that info without having to go to the truck. I have used it for the remote start, but really only once, most of the time I'm close enough for the fob to be able to do it. Plus I found out that if you remote start and then cancel it both through the Remotelink app (was seeing how fast it worked and kind of playing with it) that you can't use the fob to start the truck. I guess it's a safety thing where if you use your app it won't let you use the fob unless you put the key in. Once you do that the fob will work again.

Can I second this? I'm really tempted to try playing around with this, even though I'm not extremely keen on rooting my phone...

I will write something up soon, I will also host the scripts needed. (so it does not need too much work to get it up and going)

 

You will need to spend a couple of dollars on the Android Play Store and have a Rooted phone for sure to get everything working.

Hope your home network is locked down, or you just created an easy way for someone to unlock your truck and steal stuff. Not trying to be negative, just seeing additional access points for theft.

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
