This is covered in this thread 2016 cluster ONLY applicable with a very specific car play retrofit. 

I tried to read through this thread but never 100% have found my answer. I have 2015.5 silverado. In order to get a blue cluster I need to upgrade my HMI and radio module. Do I just need 2016 hardware or do I need specific part #’s? Any help is appreciated!

Ok so whomever sent in a cluster from arizona with quite literally ZERO information as to who it belongs to please contact us ASAP before we send it back to the third party it came from.

 

Sadly due to a HUGE influx of the above scenario beginning next Monday: ANY SHIPMENT THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE ORDER NUMBER WRITTEN ON THE BOX WILL BE RETURNED TO SENDER BY OUR LOGISTICS COMPANY. I'm sorry but we just don't have the time to spend 3-4 hours a week trying to figure out who's order is who's and no believe me its not just you guys it seems everyone in every product line likes to make us guess who wants what done to which parts LOL :)

 

Also a friendly reminder ship in using UPS or Fedex ONLY,  USPS in our area is dreadful at best. 

 

Thank you!

Im very impressed by the work you are doing here @GTPprix!  I just bought a 2018 SLE gmc sierra and I was hoping there was a way to swap the cluster to the red denali one and hopefully my stereo bezel colors later to match. The blue/green is one of the few things I cant stand about this truck. Is it possible to swap a 2016ish cluster into my 2018 with your help? Without losing any functionality of course. 

I also have another completely different request that is audio related I'm hoping you can help with. Please PM me when you have a spare minute!

when I went through this process, this is what I had to purchase to accommodate the desired blue/green cluster...

yes, $1200 plus shipping was spendy, but it enabled me to:

 

  • keep the factory nav - which which work with both the cluster and HUD
  • also - I really wanted CarPlay 
  • AND - I wanted the CarPlay to work with my steering wheel controls

 

Product Quantity Price
2014 - 2016 Chevrolet CarPlay / Android Auto Enabled Factory System
Programming Options - Last 8 of Vehicle's Vin Number: (your vin here)
Please Select CarPlay System Needed ($300.00): I06 CarPlay/Android Auto- WITH Factory NAV
Please Select: I understand that if I'm purchasing the I05 CarPlay for a 2016 Vehicle, MVI will require the old module back as a core. MVI will email a core form to me before the product will ship. If not purchasing for a 2016 vehicle, No core form will be required
Please Select: I understand professional installation is recommended and MVI only allows up to 15 minutes of installation support. As a custom business MVI is not able to provide on demand tech support. Tech support will need to be scheduled via text message (more info below). I have also read MVI’s Terms and Conditions and agree to these terms.
1 $1,199.00"

 

My suggestion is you go to White Auto's website and contact Chris through that channel. confirm the above is required, and the part number to your cluster

You can get a red or blue cluster   the radio shouldnt have to be changed.  But the hmi might also if you want factory nav (dont quote me on that

This is exactly what I want except I think it could be done for cheaper. What parts did you have to swap?

the only way to obtain CarPlay and keep the factory nav was to replace both the modules (radio and nav modules) - - what you saw in my post was the meat of my receipt  - if you know a cheaper way - I'd say go for it

WAMS will be COMPLETELY closed until 10/19We will not be available to communicate nor will we be taking new orders during this time (we are working diligently through our large backlog). Thanks!

They have updated it to "WAMS will be COMPLETELY closed until 11/19". So I think your hopes were correct.

    • Thanks, all. It sounds like keeping the software "as is" is the best course of action.
    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overengineering   Excerpt from the above link: (BTW the above is a 90 second read)   [Quote]   A story about very precise engineering is given in the 1858 story The Deacon's Masterpiece or, the Wonderful "One-hoss Shay": A Logical Story by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., which tells of a carriage (one-horse shay) Because it had been engineered so that no single piece failed first – no piece was over-engineered relative to the others, and they thus all collapsed at the same time. A similar quote by Ferdinand Porsche claimed "the perfect race car crosses the finish line in first place and immediately falls into pieces."[5]   [End Quote}   By Engineering's  own definition then; the AFM and Torque Converters, 4-5-6 clutch assembly of the 6L80E, and a dozen other common chronic parts and systems failures are "UNDER ENGINEERED". And by their own definition done so with INTENT. Ya can't have it both ways OEM's.

    • I was in Utah this week attempting a bow hunt in the Wasatch mountains with friends.  On the evening of the first hunt, making my way across a ridge to a friends camp, the upper control arm on the driver's side separated, the CV axle got trashed, and the wheel was dang near at a 45 degree angle to the ground.  I was able to get it towed off the mountain and into town about 3:00 am, and spent the remainder of the night in an O'Reilly's parking lot.  Luckily, there was a Chevrolet dealership not to far away so I was able to get to the dealership and pick up a new CV and UCA.  It would have been a few days before they could have gotten to the truck and I brought tools with me on hunt since it was a two day drive to get there, so I did the repairs myself in the O'Reilly's parking lot.      What's interesting is that the UCA ball joint didn't break, it just popped out of the bottom of the UCA.  There was VERY LITTLE evidence of grease on the ball joint or in the socket, and you could see where the ball joint had warbled out part of the socket over time.  I guess that's what happens over 186K miles of use :)   Big Kudos to O'Reilly's for letting me work on the truck in their parking lot.  However, they made a $150+ off of me from the purchase of various tools, so I guess it was in their best interest anyways :)   Getting towed off the mountain.   UCA Ball Joint Socket   Trashed CV   Suspension disconnected and UCA and CV Removed   New UCA and CV installed with the suspension buttoned up.    
    • My family still laughs at me when they see me drive up in the minivan. Same with less than a V-8 truck. It helps that I have choices. I don’t think I could only have a minivan as the one and only vehicle as much as I like it. And I wouldn’t pass up a good buy on an older V-8 reg cab GM truck. Could you live Raven as the only ride?
