holy crap, you can control up to 8 different accessories from the screen with an additional module.

 

I wonder how much I could get for my factory 8" screen?

Car Play/Android Auto?

It does not have apply car play or android auto which is the main reason why I have not got one yet. How can a head unit with a suggested retail of $4,000 not have car play or android auto??

 

That and to have phone mirroring or to use the accessories options you have to buy 6 other adapters and accessories to make them work which is an additional $500+

Sounds like it's already dated and that's why it's $1300 instead of $4000 now.

 

I'm not feeling inclined to buy all this latest electronic stuff anyway. I get in my truck and drive it. In town, I listen to AM news. Out of town, either roam the stations, XM in the past (maybe still, XM has shady marketing practices, they turn former customer radios off and on, they turned mine on after a while and started billing me again), or my music on SD card. I'm still dragging one leg in the past, I bring maps or a road atlas when I travel. I also bring my iPad cellular and smartphone for lodging and restaurant information. My truck has GM Nav and the iPad and phones are also GPS capable. Beyond that, I still have to spend my time actually driving the truck and not play with electronics, since my truck won't drive itself.

It looks great, but during some of the demos I saw the animations for the screen were slow to render. That would drive me crazy on a day to day basis. Swipe up for favorites, wait 1-2 seconds, swipe for nav, wait 1-2 seconds. Even the factory GM swipe features aren't that fast but this seems to be slower, maybe it's different using it as your perception is based on you and not watching someone else interact.

My main interest is updating the DAC and eventually the speakers. That and the options to turn on/off accessories is great. I wonder if there will be a gen 2 that supports android auto/carplay and a bit faster processor. Maybe once it's even cheaper I'll give it a whirl. $300 sounds good :)

I pulled the trigger on this and the Bose integration module but I'm on the fence about installing it. I don't care about CarPlay or nav, just sound quality and the ability to integrate a sub with better control. I'm just concerned about the audio still going through the Bose amp and not being able to take full advantage of the SQ the deck may provide. I also will lose the USB and SD reader in the console which is how I charge my phone and also my primary source of music (on SD card).

 

Going to think about it over the weekend and send it back if I can't convince myself to install it.

I did not. Found out that the screen mirroring only works while in park. Easy enough to bypass normally but with the maestro and all the other connections it wasn’t worth messing with. Add in the difficult task of getting new speaker wire into the doors and I decided against it.

 

Just another downfall of the 21st century, Facebook, Alexa and the decreasing ability to easily swap out car stereos.

The x110 has built in amp , so the output with the factory speakers is louder. There is more adjustments ( ie. treble, bass and a bunch of other settings) The navigation works good . I was on the fence for this stereo for a long time . My stock stereo had glitch problems that GM could not fix after 5 trips to the dealer, so i replaced it with this. There is a few drawbacks to the non factory system, like the display on the dash now has no audio info. and you only get one usb output. But that is about the biggest drawback.. The steering wheels control are the same, backup camera works the same. There is a ton of settings and some apps that will take me some time learn. Installed myself in about 4 hours ,very easy install. A few small drawbacks over factory, but the sound difference will make you smile . If ya got more specific questions ask away..

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
