No. If you open the link I've posted (twice), you will see this option is an add on module. No swap, no reprogram.

 

Ah, got it now. I didn't watch the video the first time.

 

When I ordered the CarPlay upgrade and video unlock, the new HMI module came with the video unlock programming (which is a different service than what you're looking at). I assumed that the link was pointing the the unlock programming service (which they also offer separately). The video clearly shows them installing a bypass module :thumbs: .

 

I can't speak to that module directly, but the customer service I've had from MVI has been excellent! Anthony is very good at answering specific questions both pre- and post- sale. He responds best to text messages, so hit him up. His cell is 919-995-9523 .

 

If you get it, I'd like to hear back how you like it.

I've emailed them and have a very detailed response, just a couple more clarifications and I'm covered from a technical side.

 

Why I'm looking at the module is:

-Being in Canada adds another element to the shipping exchange. If the module is lost or delayed in shipping, I'm SOL until a replacement is available.

-The exchange option ends up being almost double the price by the time shipping is added in. Also as I work out of town, the 48 hour turnaround for me to install and ship back might not be doable adding another element to it.

 

That said, I am still leaning towards the exchange option at the moment. But being a brand new (less than 50 kms currently) 2016, I'm apprehensive of possibly putting in someone else's old unit and need some clarifications on possible warranty.

Want your stuff to work 100% correctly in an OEM fashion? Get the HMI Swap.

 

ESPECIALLY on 2016's as it can actually disable factory features on those models as well as any Carplay/Android Auto Retrofits.

 

We will work with you on the shipping time that shouldn't be problem at all. As far as the core swaps go it has yet to be an issue and we check each one of them as they come in and go back out (with the latest software), also really isnt a warranty issue as they aren't serialized. If it were to fail dealer would replace it and with a copy of the repair order you'd get your programming again!

Well I guess that solves that. Lol. Thanks for the answers!

 

I know there is a week to couple week delay due to demand right now, is the delay on the 2016's the same or longer?

Got my new smart phone module 2.0 in today. Install was pretty straight forward. Had a couple of questions and texted MVI for an immediate response to help me trouble shoot. The module is great. HD crystal clear image. Everything functions while vehicle in motion and maintains all the factory controls. Their new module will also allow you to add additional cameras to the truck and additional avi input. Overall I'm satisfied.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
