You've been asking and we've been listening, I'm proud to announce that we have native in unit support now for not only rear camera in motion but also the ability to now add a switchable front camera in motion as well; all utilizing factory hardware!

 

This was the plan from the beginning however we had originally intended to make an interface box to make all of this happen but were able to work around that to the point it was no longer necessary. Front camera will obviously still require the addition of a camera and wiring etc but it is now possible without any sort of aftermarket interface to worry about. Those of you with fifth wheels may choose to make this a bed camera as well, the options really are endless here.

 

We also added a new set of guidelines as well, so now you have three options:

1. No Guidelines

2. Traditional Moving Boxed Guidelines

3. Minimalist single moving guideline

 

Switching between the two modes can be done on the camera screen using the icons at the bottom.

 

This feature will be included on all future 2016 unlock orders as well as any CarPlay upgrades that opt for the unlock.

 

So not only do you get our famous unlock that removes the in motion locks from the HMI vehicle side controls for video in motion from USB/SD, additional movie formats as well as video in motion from DVD/BluRay and nav entry etc etc but you also get factory camera control as an additional bonus!

 

Those of you who have already purchased the unlock for your 2016 or have purchased a CarPlay with the unlock will need to work out the best way to upgrade your system with Anthony as this is a completely different setup software wise.

 

For more information please TEXT Anthony at 919-995-9523

so does this mean it wont work on the 2014 models? and is there an ability to record the video?

Per MVI, it needs the 2016 hardware to work.

 

So as of now, this is for those with 2016s, or those that upgraded their 2014/2015 hardware to the 2016 hardware for the added Android/Apple functionality.

Great work you guys.

Too bad GM didn't give us this option until the fords got them.

GM is usually playing catch up anyway.

So does the factory HMI have an input for an additional camera? Haven't pulled mine out but if it does are the connectors RCA? Kind of wishing I would have gotten the unlock instead of the AV Module. Had the AV module for a few weeks but it just isn't working out as smoothly as I had hoped. Nothing wrong with the unit itself. Just my ideas for using it aren't working out. Thinking about the unlock now.

Just wanted to follow up with GTP's post on the Rear Camera In-Motion feature we can now add. Hopefully I can clear up some details that I'm sure everyone will be wondering about:

1. This is currently only going to be available for the 2016 vehicle's and the coming 2017's. We have looked at the ability of adding this into 2014-2015 vehicles and the bottom line is that the hardware wont support it.

2. If you have a 2014-2015 vehicle and have upgraded or are considering upgrading to the CarPlay/Android Auto system...this feature can be added with the custom unlock service.

3. If you have a 2014-2015 vehicle and would like this feature, but really don't want to upgrade to CarPlay/Android Auto, we can still help accommodate you with our new AV Module setup. (There is a thread on that piece in here and you can get info from our site as well. http://gm-navigation.com/added-accessories/navigation-unlock/video-input-module.html )

4. This piece will NOT allow for video recording...you'll need some type of DVR setup for that...which I can probably help with. They are becoming more popular.

 

This is important to note: This WILL require some rewiring at the back of the truck in order for this to function. I will provide the details on this as we get things documented a little further (hopefully this week). In the mean time...feel free to TEXT me for details.

 

I was able to update the site with more details on this and the rest of our custom unlock service. Due to the nature of all that is involved to get this accomplished for the customer, I still have not made this particular piece available for online check out just yet. I'm still trying to decide the best way to do that; but you can check out the page here :

http://gm-navigation.com/added-accessories/navigation-unlock/2013-2017-gm-video-in-motion-and-navigation-unlock.html

and please feel free to provide CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on how the site can be more informative. I do need to add in the information regarding the smartphone mirroring, I will hopefully get that done this week as well.

 

For those that have already purchased the CarPlay/Android Auto upgrade WITH the custom unlock service:

If interested in getting this feature added...just shoot me a TEXT and we can discuss getting it done. There will be a small fee for the new programming (I'll keep it as painless as possible :)) and you'll need to plan on sending your module in to get the new software added. Just TEXT me for details and we can chat about it.

So after this wiring tweak the camera still comes on in reverse but you can also see it on demand? I watched the demo but it doesn't cover that. Also noticed a timer in the upper corner. Any chance we can get a more inclusive demo. I'm already sold. Just like more info.

I'm assuming this will work on Android Auto as well as Apple CarPlay, correct? Right now I'm android, but my wife is Apple. I do like the interface better on the Apple, and it does seem to work better. At least in the stock locked system. One thing I've noticed (using AA) is that when using my hands free to make a call, it drops out of AA and back to the Standard GM phone system. Not a big deal, but it would be nice if it stayed in AA. Is there a hands free command to return to AA?

 

The camera unlock ability is something I've been waiting for. Any news about the 360 camera view?

 

I'm going to txt Anthony these same questions, but thought I'd ask here too, just in case someone was interested.

This will work on the 2016 hardware and up. The 2016 hardware features AA and Carplay. So the fact that you have AA or Carplay means you're using the 2016 hardware.

 

So yes it will work.

 

As for Intellink or AA making your calls, this is directly related to how long you hold the speak button.

 

AA requires a long press, about 2-3 seconds. This works this way regardless of whether your phone is connected to the USB or not.

 

If it is connected to the USB, it will display on the screen with AA.

 

So the reason your calls are going through Intellink is because you are pressing and immediately releasing the speak button to make a call. You know which your using because the voice prompts are different.

 

So try long pressing next time.

 

And BTW, even if you make the call on Intellilink, if you them proceed to open AA, it will take you to the AA phone/call page.

YOU CAN UPGRADE YOUR HARDWARE WITH THIS OPTION.

OR YOU CAN JUST GET THE MODULE.

New to the forum. I have been reading and reaching this modification for a little while. Can someone explain the difference between doing this modification and installing a aftermarket radio with the same features like the Pioneer AVIC-8200NEX? I'm want the navigation feature and the Android Auto would be nice as well just don't know which would be the better option. Any help explaining the difference would be great. Thanks.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
