If you have that, just buy the corresponding dash harness for RSE and the corresponding options your truck has and the RSE roof harness.  Then you'll just need the Blu-ray/DVD drive, both screens, and a programmed HMI.  To get my rear inputs, that is what I ended up doing but your dash will need pulled and your headliner dropped.  It's not hard, just a little time.

There is a large price range depending on your end goal.  If you don't want or need the rear console inputs, then it will be a lot cheaper than any headrest system that I know of, especially since you

For the factory HDMI, I think that will highly depends on the year of your vehicle.  If you're a 2017+, it's doable as it'll just take some time and money.  If you're 2016 or older, it's easier to splice into the auxiliary input like I did as I believe there's software issues since earlier vehicles didn't ever come with it.  It'd be best to ask WAMS or someone like them to find out for sure on the programming if you're wanting it for a 2016 or older vehicle.  I already had all the hardware by the time I found out GM added an HDMI so I never looked real deep into it.  

I have a 2018 . I already have the rear drop down screen , Blu-ray player  , factory center console harness & rear HDMI section .

W.A.M.S has already programmed my HMI  .

 

As far as I know I still need the  CD Player to DVD Player harness , & harness for overhead display .

The harness is 299$ from MVI also another issue I ran into. I originally bought a overhead dvd used off eBay. During install for the life of me couldn’t get the remote to work. Again all new territory with this Mod. I got a 3rd row monitor without infrared. I ended up having to buy a new one from the dealer. Not sure what tv you got or where just double check lol.

You'll need a new infotainment screen for your dash too as your original won't have video processing capabilities unless you've already replaced it.  The last time I checked, MVI still hadn't created a kit to add the rear console inputs.  @pgamboa was looking into adding this but I don't know if he's had enough time to finish it as he's crazy busy helping so many members on here with other mods. Be I personally don't know anyone else that was working on (or plans to) the rear console inputs.  If you have a few hundred dollars to spare and depending on your comfort/skill level working on cars, I say replace your harnesses with OEM harnesses like I did since you have everything else but that's just my opinion.

Yes there are 2 different 8" infotainment screens.  RSE screens are HDCP compliant as Phil told me a while back which allows for video playback.  He probably had you look for the decoder/deserializer on the board.

Yep. Here are pics of the internal logic board differences. You can see the the bottom boards says “deserializer” on it which is the BluRay/DVD decoder. The screen itself was the same in my case. I had a damaged screen that I was able to salvage that logic board and transfer over. Not knowing it would work or not... and it did! So I was happy about not having to buy and entire screen.

I did do the front screen but didn’t unlock the HMI I really just wanted it for the kids in the back or maybe up front in park but not while driving anyway. I wanted to do the rear HDMI but figured that’s a lot more involved so I just figured maybe later on.

I have a 2015 Sierra Denali with factory RSE.  Is there a way to add an HDMI port to this setup?  I know it was mentioned above that it was difficult depending on the year, but the statement sounded like it was being made for a vehicle that didn't have factory RSE already installed...

 

If I already have factory RSE, is there a way to add HDMI (also read that it may be limited to 720p, which I'm fine with).  I'd basically like to add a Chromecast for the kids.  It's easier for a 4-year-old to control my phone than read through text menus in the factory system...

Yes.  Purchase the HDMI Input that I installed from MVI.  It will splice into the AUX input.  That is what I use for my Fire Stick, Chromecast and game systems.  I installed it in place of one of my power ports because it also has a USB port with the HDMI port that you can use to charge if you wire it in as well.

Does anyone have the P/N for the front screen that replaces the stock (non-RSE) screen to allow the DVD’s to be viewed?

So this is my first time ever be part of one of these chats. So I just got my wife a 2016 Tahoe and it has the dvd entertainment system on the roof, and now I want to add one on my 2017 duramax z71. I was doing good following what was said on the first page of this chat but then go lost. Hahaha. I needed some help with how to go about getting all the things I’m going to needed to add this entertainment system. As of right now I have no sun roof, and just CD player. Can you guys refer me to pages to check out and maybe a list and prices of the things I need. I also like to add the  functions of the back of the center console too so I can hook up a fire stick for the kids if they get bored of the Dvd’s They have thanks and hope to get some good info

It can be done I did it in my 2018 it’s not cheap by any means though. There is a thread on here of all part numbers. First thing your HMI needs to be programmed to unlock the RSE options.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift. (Corvette Only) After changing the exhaust sound they get a popup that "mode change not applied", even though it was. -When changing volume, the volume bar is for Traffic instead of Audio. -(Corvette Only) Improvements to the placement of buttons and text. -If the customer receives the message "Apple CarPlay Could not connect", the cursor might move in the opposite direction than expected when using the control knob. -Android Auto automatically starts playing their music, even though they have turned that off in settings. -Intermittently they have a red OnStar LED with no OnStar function and/or no audio. -The minimum length of the Wi-Fi password was increased to 12 characters. -The popup message "Driver Attention Check, check your mirrors or Super Cruise will shut down" may not have come up on the display when it should have. -Startup animation added for 20th anniversary of the V-Series on Cadillacs. -The Navigation app received location improvements when going under long underpasses. -In the Navigation app there are filters for charging points that the vehicle cannot use.   V164 Most Notable Improvements Most notable improvements contained in this release may include: Apps Intermittently, an “SD Card Removed” message will pop up in the Navigation app. While in the audio app, the radio may stop working. Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM. Spotify icon truncated on Audio app.   SXM When changing power modes with the ignition switch, the HVAC pop up might appear. During startup, the radio will show the brand splash screen then go blank. Receiving a confirmation pop-up when changing drive modes. A “Return to Dealer” message may appear on the radio screen. SuperCruise setting toggle may not work. System After an ignition cycle, the radio might go black or stop working if using Sirius XM (SXM). Settings When performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working. After performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working when trying to switch users. When trying to go into the Language section quickly after startup, the radio may stop working. Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed. Removed the Apple CarPlay Cannot Connect screen when a device fails to pair during the autoconnect process. CarPlay information may not show up in the audio app. Near Field Communications (NFC) chime may be heard when NFC does not work. The Cannot Connect screen does not pop up after the first connection on wireless CarPlay fails. Apple CarPlay is now functional in Guam. Over the Air (OTA) When a software update is cancelled, the downloading logo may still be displayed. Energy When using the Energy app, the radio may stop working. When plugging in the vehicle, the display might show “Now” instead of “Charging Upon Plug In.” Instrument Cluster Voice recognition can be started while on an OnStar or phone call. When downloading contacts, there is a progress bar and circles on the Recents page of the cluster. The temperature on the cluster and the display may be different. After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
