IO5 to IO6 Upgrade


Recommended Posts

Posted

So after a few days with my new 16' Canyon Duramax, I noticed that the only nav I have is the onstar turn by turn crap...stupid me for thinking that new $45k truck would have a navigation that actually had maps...So after doing a google search I find out that I should be able to do a I05 (which only has the onstar Nav) to a IO6 upgrade. Has anyone else done this? Looks like it is around $1k to do it. It looks easy enough to do the swap, I am just looking for some opinions.

Those OE module upgrades are easy to do, but if you haven't seen this yet: http://www.adcmobile.com/advent-gmcnav2/take a look since it is about 25% less than the price you tossed out and it gives you an HDMI input so you can mirror your phone on the display for maps, apps, video, etc.

Call me confused.... I have a 2016 Canyon. The factory Navigation was an option. You won't have it if you didn't request it as an option in your truck. I have the factory Nav.

 

You have CarPlay & Android Auto (if the updates were done)...Hook up your cell phone via USB port and use the Navigation thru your phone.

 

I guess I wasn't exactly sure what you were asking - OR - not sure what an upgrade would do for you...?? And/or curious to know what this upgrade would do FOR ME also?

    • Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!
    • I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

    • Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
