Car Play and Android Auto Suspension

From GM:

Due to supply issues, it is necessary to build a certain quantity of 2016MY Silverado 1500 and HD trucks without Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The only radio impacted is the 8” color touch screen radio (IO5) that is standard on LT and LTZ models.

 

The affected trucks will be built with the 2.0 HMI module which was previously used on 2015MY Silverado 1500 and HD trucks. This substitution will begin approximately mid-May and is expected to last approximately a month and a half. The exact duration is yet to be determined and will vary by plant.

 

Below are the four ways in which you can identify the affected trucks:

 

1. The window label will display a line in the optional equipment section indicating that a credit of $200 has been applied for the deletion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility (see attachment).

2. The Vehicle Invoice will contain the RPO code “CPO” (letter O) and the $200 credit.

3. The main menu screen of the radio will not have the “projection” icon (see attachment).

4. The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label in the glove box will contain the RPO code “CPO” in addition to the RPO code “IO5.”

Wow. $200 credit? I'd avoid those models for sure! It would cost $1300+ to add the option later via 3rd party.

 

If I ordered a truck and it came in minus the Carplay / Android Auto, I would be livid!

Its around 6-700 to add carplay/AA to 15s. 1000-1200 if you add NAV as well. 200.00 seems a little light lol. I would not have bought this '16 I just picked up without NAV if carplay/AA wasn't available.

 

My guess is if GM cant get the new modules the aftermarket guys wont be able to get them for a while either.

So order IO6 and be sure to get it, it only effects IO5

Can anyone confirm whether this will be affecting the GMC's? The message says Silverado LT and LTZ, is it safe to assume the Sierra's will suffer the same?

 

Also, I contacted GM Customer Service and they weren't aware of this restriction. Where did this information come from?

So here is the whole thing, not that it really matters.

 

Reference Number: 201605100001

Dear Chevrolet Dealer,

Due to supply issues, it is necessary to build a certain quantity of 2016MY Silverado 1500 and HD trucks without Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The only radio impacted is the 8” color touch screen radio (IO5) that is standard on LT and LTZ models.

The affected trucks will be built with the 2.0 HMI module which was previously used on 2015MY Silverado 1500 and HD trucks.

3. The main menu screen of the radio will not have the “projection” icon (see attachment).

4. The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label in the glove box will contain the RPO code “CPO” in addition to the RPO code “IO5.”

 

Where we can, we are working to modify references to the availability of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility on these vehicles within relevant advertising and marketing materials. Please be aware, however, that some materials such as printed catalogs, brochures and showroom displays will not reflect the product changes described in this message. It is therefore, very important that you counsel with each customer individually about the content, functionality and price of the truck in which they are interested.

 

We will send further communication when this issue is resolved.

 

Best regards,

Chevy Truck Marketing

Yes, I also received a bulletin from GM regarding Sierra

I ordered a truck and it has a build date for the week of June 6th. Right in the middle of this suspension. I just got off the phone with Chevrolet and and I can confirm jamesonjc was right with his previous post. This suspension will only effect trucks ordered without navigation. Trucks with navigation are not effected.

 

Thank God I ordered the nav.

Could be that too many people were forgoing the optional $500 Nav heads ($2K+ if linked to a rear entertainment system package) in favor of the non-Nav heads that could handle auto android and effectively use Google map app and function as a Nav.

 

What would I do? Easy.... no bucks for a Nav, then no auto android to simulate a Nav and you'd have to spend the $200 reduction for a plug in Nav anyway! So, only sell auto android capable Nav units forcing those that want a built-in Nav and those who must have auto android capability, to spend the extra bucks for the Nav head..........helps to reduce excess '15 inventory stock and '16 Nav inventory to prepare for the '17s changes.

 

But what do I know, just being paranoid.

I wouldn't take a truck without the option. Not for a 200 dollar credit. I wonder what the 17 head unit will be like. I am waiting for that one to come out to upgrade my 14 unit. Which is okay but slow.

I would say you're dead on there. I've been told (and mentioned here) that the IO6 was not affected. Myself and a few others ordered the IO5 for the very reason you mentioned. *Fingers Crossed*

Well, I am new here. Seeking some advice as I am sure I am not the only one experiencing this. I have been caught unfortunately in this "suspension". Just picked up my truck today, the salesman had to break the news to me... NO Car Play or Android Auto on my 2016 LTZ. I as others opted out of NAV, planned on using a phone for this requirement, as well as other features I was expecting to be able to use. So, what is everybody else doing? I don't plan on accepting this, my order was placed May 2 for this truck,, before the letter came out. Anybody else have advice on how to tackle "fighting" it out with these guys?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      My office is slowly filling with Blazer parts. Getting ready to do the big bang of repairs. Intake (second time), water pump, radiator, hoses, and I'm going to re-seal the timing cover where someone went hog wild with silicone. Might as well, because I don't think that's done right.   There's a local tow yard that I didn't realize also has quite the inventory of junk vehicles. This is an old school junkyard. No waivers. Cash only, you were never here if anyone asks. Don't piss off the owner, or you'll end up in the back of one of those cars, headed for the shredder. And if you see something, don't snitch. Cars stacked double high, wasps nests, trip hazards and junk everywhere. I found a few little odds/ends for my Blazer. The $20 I spent was worth the experience alone. But I was never there. What yard?   I officially love/hate this truck. It's so out of my wheelhouse, roughest vehicle I've ever owned. Every. single. repair. -is so hard-fought, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Currently in a hate phase, and kind of wish I was closer to sending it down the road with a lucky new owner, to be honest. Preparing for the day when I tear into this thing...lots of pre-funk with Ibuprofen.   Rock Auto sent me a bad reman rear wiper motor. It was a bear to install. The tailgate in these things has about eleventy-billion fastners and pieces and things that need to be uninstalled/moved just to access the shoddy rear wiper motor. The casing on mine was cracked clean through, btw. Nice, GM, nice. SO I got this new motor installed, hit the switch, I see it wig-wag (without the arm installed) and think I'm golden. Reassemble everything. With the wiper arm installed I gave it one final test. Time to clean up and take the other half out to dinner, collect a paycheck, right?   Nope. I hear the plastic worm gear stripping as the arm hung up. Just like my broken motor. Weak/old and shredding itself internally. I can assist the arm and the range of motion is normal, and it parks correctly. It just doesn't have the poop to actually sweep the arm with a blade on it. Oh, hell. Turned the key off and shut the shop door behind me. I get to do that over again, too.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
