Everything works just like the standard head unit. Yes the A/C works What doesn't work is"

  • Auto climate control (obviously because I don't have a sensor installed yet)
  • Dual climate control (wasn't expecting this functionality anyways)

Thank you for your response. Ill definitely be doing this upgrade, don't really care for the dual climate feature. It just looks a lot better than the standar one. Let us know if the sensor works, I might get that one too.

Thanks.??

Still trying to figure out how to post pictures from my phone going back and forth from the mobile to full version, so I purchased the sensor I only need to buy the unit with dual zone, does the part I added looks right to you? Questions and comments are welcome.

Yup, thats the same part # I bought online. My dealer is going to install and test it for me next Monday, so we will see how it works

I bought the unit today, I should be getting it by the 19th, so we'll see once I get it., hopefully the automated temperature works, if not this ac unit looks 10x better that the standard one.?

Well, in the end the sensor didn't help. So if anyone is interested in a brand new HVAC control unit to dress up your truck, drop me a PM

That's not good... Did they say why?

 

They said I needed more parts than just the head unit and sensor. Oh well, that was fun.

I installed the new unit yesterday, and I really like this way better than the standar one, I knew the was going to be a very high chance that dual or auto function weren't going to work, but I'm really glad I did this. I'll continue on my quest to figure out the auto and maybe someone might figure it out.

Man, some guys just don't like hearing the advise that people who work on this stuff and program this stuff give. You wont be able to get the auto to work, the HVAC from a non-auto truck to an auto truck is completely different. The airbox system, controller, sensors and programming is not even the same. Unless you are going to pull your entire dash out to the change the airbox and then also replace all of the sensors and then see if you can find someone who can custom program the HVAC module (Dealer cant and wont be able to) then all you are doing is throwing money into the wind.

 

But hey, not my money so go for it.

Alright, so it’s been a long time since a wrote in this topic, but later I found out that the auto does work., my truck didn’t come with the dual zone control and after installing the one with the dual, realize what a lot of people have done after me., installing regardless if it doesn’t work. But as I said the auto does work on my truck when turn the fan off and press the auto it comes on and turn gradually as it gets to the temperature set., now I’m on the quest of continue with this upgrade. After doing a full 16 front conversion, adding the ac/heat oem leather seats to my cloth heated seats, fully unlock my HMI adding the flip down screen and having it fully functioning as factory thanks to @pgamboa and @GTPprix. I believe that the only module requires to program is the HVac module., after obviously added the required harness, sensors and etc. I have successfully swap my non leather dashboard to a HC leather dashboard and taking apart the whole dashboard I feel confident that this might doable. The real failure will be not to try. So I’m going to take my time on this one and after @GTPprix is not as busy as he’s now I might send him my module to program it. If thats an option.lol.

Forgot to mention that I have an 18 dashboard with all the ducts needed and the harnesses that I might use for my truck., so the most important one will be the module. I wonder what the RPO for the dual zone climate control is or if it’s actually one. Will come back with the result once I find out more about it.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.
