Can Apple play be added to a 2015 Denali ??

My wife has it in her new VW. It's pretty cool. I know the '16's have it, can it be programmed into the 2015 head unit? Aftermarket lock pic kit? Thanks guys!

$500?

 

 

Try $1299, IMO just use apple on the phone for that price, it is not like it adds anything new the phone cannot already do.

MVI was discussed here for the programming. I'm not talking about using OEM parts for the upgrade. Sending it to MVI and having it flashed for the apple car play is around 500 or so.

It's a 2015 he does not have a choice the hardware would be required.

 

If you have the hardware already don't need to pay MVI a dime dealer will program for free. I think you are confused as to what it takes to add to a 2015.

See post #5 in this thread. New hardware is required on a 15 unfortnately by what is posted here. .. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/184124-vendor-mvi-apple-carplay-android-auto-updates/

Thanks Guys. As always anything is possible for enough money. 1299 for just one feature is a bit much. I just paid 1100 for 22" chrome repro rims!! LOL Today I picked up the phone and said "hey Siri" she picked up and did it verbally. My directions came over the speakers in the truck. My '15 Sierra didn't do that. It would be nice to have it on the screen and maybe steering wheel control, but Like I said cheaper than a new truck but a lot for one feature. I am tired of giving so many upgrades to my vehicles in for free when I trade. They never want to pay a penny for one extra you added to the truck! But thats another story.

My 2015 SLE Sierra has Carplay and Android Auto. The upgrade cost me $600 total through MVI. They sold my old hardware and gave me nearly half the cost back. I absolutely hate the Factory navigation some times. It gives me the worst routes here in OKC almost every time. It always takes you the long routes mostly just main highways, sometimes adding a half an hour or so for no reason and does not give you 3 route choices like google maps on Android auto. The faster processor is also a big difference. No regrets here. This was my first upgrade to my truck.

    • I figured you would know about it.
    • It added a cost layer to an already limited production supply. True that. 
    • Swap costs and supply/demand balance. When a barrel comes out of the ground the entire range of products are present but not all at the same percentage.    Breakdown of Refined Products The following table summarizes the approximate output from a standard 42-gallon barrel of crude oil: Product Type Gallons per Barrel Percentage of Total Gasoline 20 gallons 45% Diesel Fuel 9 gallons 21% Other Products 13 gallons 31%   Most of that diesel figure is 'straight run' or cut from the barrel. Gasoline 'cut from the barrel runs 0 to 20% at the crude. So in the crude unit there is more diesel the gasoline, usually.  The full refining experience however gives the tabled values. Ego there is half the diesel than gasoline after the 'first crack' That could be an FCC unit, or Isomax or....   Those units take heavy products and break the big ones into little ones. Those numbers are harder to get hold of but directionally it ends up the same.    Really light products are very profitable. Ethylene and Propylene to name two. Those are cracked from slightly heavier feeds like NG and Propane and Ethane. The cracker harshness determines the feed for distillation. Those feeds come from less profitable products like diesel and gasoline.    So...there is a swap cost. How much market is there TODAY and what crude am I running TODAY..... what is my process capable of always.    There is this as well. The USA uses allot more gasoline than it does diesel so in the cracker the process is tilted to gasoline production which....limits supply of diesel. OTR uses the most and it has different requirements than automotive and agricultural.  Limiting auto products.    You are correct however. It is less refined, just less of it. Allot less. 
    • Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.
