We use Google maps on our phones.

Works great.

No issues using Android Auto and pairing with the new car.

Simple, easy.

Let me start by saying I love my truck and know this is pretty much standard across manufacturers to pay for a map updates. For those of you that didn't know, navigation map updates will come at a co

I have the NAV on my truck. Didn't particularly want it, but the truck had everything else I wanted, when I wanted it. Google Maps on a smartphone is a better way to go. She even speaks through the bl

I use that and WAZ on my phone. Rarely get caught in a traffic jam. That’s saying something going East on I-10 from Texas.

Hey guys I've got my first Silverado 2018 . When I bought my truck I was told that the first owner bought a lifetime navigation upgrade. Is this a true upgrade?

You can use google maps or Apple maps by just connecting your phone to the truck.  Always up to date.

Not if you have a 2014-2015.5 truck (at least not without changing out hardware) ....

I get the logic on GMaps and Waze however there are still dead areas in the country for cell service where you will lose GPS. I realize that on some phones you can download the route prior to making the trip but that is for predetermined trips. Another point is that not everyone has opted for the unlimited plan so if you go over your monthly plan it racks up pretty fast. The update is pretty expensive through the GM site, around $160 but I decided to get it for our east coast and west coast trips.

I bought a map update from Here company that claims to have the genuine GM/Chevrolet map updates. I will NEVER buy another update again form this company. The USB deleted my navigation system and never installed the correct map. The Technical assistance line is just a phone operator reading off a bunch of standard trouble shooting tips. I had to take my truck to the dealer and they could not get the map to install either. The HERE company is not helping and from what I can tell they can't help. They have no technical expertise. I spent 145.00 at the dealer plus the cost of the usb. At that price I could almost buy a completely new infotainment system module.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
