Finally got an invitation to update my Nav map. Well it came today on a USB stick with several annoyances. First it tells you to start the engine and insert the USB into any USB port. It says the update will take 50 minutes. And it says the engine must be running the entire time!!?? As a consolation the screen tells me that it is ok to drive around while the update is in process. The screen is blank during the update but fortunately the radio plays. The actual update took about 80 min. I finally got a update successful message followed by a file missing message - annoyance #2. Then I check the functions to see what works and what doesnt work. Everything looks good except now voice recognition doesnt work - annoyance #3. Annoyance #4 is that I paid more than $150 (including shipping charges) for this beautiful piece of work.

Well...yes it is. But I'm old and I like the big screen and I don't want to have to mount...or lay....a small screen piece of crap somewhere and still not be able to see it. Just a personal preference

Did mine on Saturday. Took 45 minutes. They put a new housing plan in last year and all the roads are on it. Seem to work just fine.

I updated the map in my 2015 Monday. Took exactly 50 minutes...no error or missing file messages. Everything still seems to be working okay. I took the $139 "special" with free shipping + tax came to $151.19. It's sort of expensive but I try to update the maps in all of my vehicles every 2 or 3 years. I don't so much mind paying for the map updates as I resent the fact that the new maps are already 1 year or more old by the time they publish them.

I won't be updating mine. Android Auto works great for me. $140 to update the maps is a bit of a ripoff.

No offense intended. I just find that the Android Auto works well and doesn't need to be updated. I still use the big screen with the Android Auto nav. It is a great option if you have an Android.

Got a 2015....don't think I have Android Auto. Never really looked for it but I don't think I have it.

Updated my old 2014 Tahoe's Nav System and maps late in 2015.  What joke.  The maps were still out of date by more than a year.  In my new 2017, I use Google maps while the phone is attached via Android Auto with car mode enabled.  The maps and route navigation come up on center display and replace the on board map and navigation screen.  At least Google maps updates on a regular basis.  :thumbs:

So this answers it for me then. A truck with nav CAN enable AA or ACP through the device and utilize the device maps and navigation.

More or less any truck with the 8" screen in 2016 onward (some 16s were without) have android auto or Apple car play regardless of factory nav.. in fact given the choice I would just get like my 17 has.. no navigation... but of course thanks to the apps I have android auto running Google map on my trucks screen with turn by turn anytime.  

 

I even added the IO6 to my 2014 Impalas screen so I now have ACP or AA on it now too... unfortunately I had to add nav too but oh well lol.

      Oil Consumption

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's not what I was talking about.   I have not seen it specifically documented that bottom of the hatched area equates to "1 quart low".    I've never measured or compared a dipstick reading at the bottom of the acceptable range, added 1 quart, took a new reading and it be exactly at the top of the range.   My view of the manual is if it is BELOW the mark, add one quart at a time until the level is within the hatched area, 1 quart could put it 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 all the way there. I don't know, none of mine have been BELOW the mark to require adding any to find out.   However, if over 400 miles it takes multiple quarts to keep it in the hatched area, yes, that is a problem.   EDIT: None of my vehicles have ever been to the bottom of the range, every check shows them give or take somewhere on the top half of range. (I might even challenge my own memory and say at worst the top 3/4s.)   Never to the bottom, much less below the "add" mark, so I've never added 1 quart to see how much it moves the level up the stick. Circling back to my point, the volume coming out is less than what everyone suggests my dipstick readings should be indicating.    If from the top to bottom mark of the hatched area equates to 1 quart of oil, I would see the dipstick reading (on every vehicle I've touched in the last 30 years) be at the top of the mark when I fill with new oil and be at the bottom just prior to changing; based on what I am measuring in the drain pan. However, the dipstick readings are NOT showing that amount of drop. See above.

      Adding Autosense Hands Free to Powered Hatch / OR Anyone have Experience with Aftermarket Hands Free Sensor?

      By fsu_prov · Posted

      Anyone have any experience with adding the autosense module to a high trim suburban/tahoe?    2026 Chevy Suburban High Country - Did not have the "tech pkg" but does have the High Country Deluxe pkg. Absolutely wild this is not a standard feature.    OEM route - if it's already a powered hatch, has anyone tried to install the module for the hands free and tried to get GM to reprogram the BCM?    Aftermarket route - if OEM is impossible or too much of hassle, does anyone have any experience with aftermarket hands free sensor options?     I know Ensight Automotive does the conversions, and I've read a little about ISS Automotive. Any experience with these options/vendors?

      Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP - 12 Quarts - $50

      By nominion · Posted

      I purchased these two 6 quart boxes of Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP for my 2018 GMC Sierra with the intent to change the fluid, but I never got a chance as I sold the truck in 2021.  Both boxes have been in my garage ever since and are new and have not been opened.  Asking $50 for local pickup/meet in the Western PA area.  I can probably ship, but that would be at the buyer's expense.

      P219B after AFM delete on stock cam, already had a Trifecta AFM-disable tune. Need a retune or is it something else?

      By TQUAP · Posted

      Unfortunately the most I can speak to how everything was reassembled is that I have used Joe quite a bit and he's always proven knowledgable, capable and honest. As to individual things he did I just can't say. I do know that he was under a time crunch to get all of this done and personally if I were in that situation I know I would be more susceptible to making minor mistakes. Though he did tell me he took the truck on an extended test drive after buttoning everything up and it did not throw a code for him.   With everything I know about the situation and as a layman, if I had to hazard a guess I'd say there's a non-trivial chance something minor that was overlooked. I was kind of hoping to narrow it down to a smaller subset of possibilities so I could have a more useful conversation with him.   A DOD-delete cam did come with the kit and the pictures Joe provided of the job indicate it was installed.   To my knowledge all O2 sensors are OEM. I purchased the truck at 75k miles about a year ago and the sensors were never replaced under my ownership.   On the intake gaskets, I supplied the parts and I did specifically purchase and give Joe all new gaskets to install. Anything that was indicated to be one time use, I purchased a new one of and supplied to him.

      Shopping for new truck and have question.

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Double trust, huh?   I hear ya.   Side note, one can get trust off the internet. I belong to a Pontiac message board such as this. I sold a complete  running Pontiac 455 that I built in the late `80`s. Most won`t touch a complete engine. Especially an older one. The dude offered me $500 more than I was asking. He paid the truck freight to Lubbock TX. All I did was build a crate for it.   I told the dude he was ballsy. He says, "I trust you".
