Why not just upgrade to a factory IOS6. They cost about a 1000 but would be sure that it would fit.

That's exactly why not.

 

OP, I've done what you ask. What are your concerns?

I was just wanting to see it done. What my possibilities are and such

You could simply upgrade the base stereo, as stated. There's also an aftermarket kit for that: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROSEN-DB-GMSERIES4-US-2014-15-Chevy-GMC-8-Touchscreen-LCD-Navigation-System-/151690553214

 

I didn't think it was worth it for that much money. In fact, the deck I bought sounds better than the factory one, and it isn't even a big name. With respect to the dash, it looks "factory" enough to me. If you don't care about built in Nav, you can get a really good deck for not much money.

 

I did give up some minor integration, eg. the normally redundant climate control graphics, and some settings accessed through the radio, such as Keyless Entry. You can scroll through the settings in your radio, and see if you care about any of those. There is still no aftermarket interface that can access those (ie. Maestro), but on the base model truck, does it matter?

 

Either single or double-din will fit. Not a lot of space left after a double-din, but still more than enough to fit. Some of the plastic in the radio compartment needs to be cut out before installation, so it may not be possible to re-install the factory radio later.

The quirk it had was the vehicle had factory front sensors which this piece displays via your aftermarket radio display which would show up everytime you put the truck in drive. Whether or not something was in front of you. If you interrupted it by adjusting the hvac it would work normally until the next startup. All in all a very cool piece.

Hey guys just had a Pioneer MVH-1400NEX 6.2 inch Multimedia Receiver installed in my 2014 Silverado single W/T. Install wasn’t bad and it looks factory... about 450 for all parts including radio harnesses backup camera module on tailgate and Sirius XM module..... I don’t have the steering whee controls so a couple things we’re quirky but overall came

out great

      We have now!  2027 GMC Sierra  Early look, but I'm a GMC guy and so far I think I like the looks of the Chevy better.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
