IO5 to IO6 Upgrade

ChrisInUtah · April 5, 2016

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?
