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.  

What he said.  On your Android, a small steering wheel icon appears when Android Auto is active.  If you touch that, the screen appears on your truck display and you can choose navigation.

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.

Correct but that's only true for 2016+ trucks.  The OP has a 2015 so his radio doesn't support Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.  And it can't be added without replacing the HMI with one from the newer trucks.

Wrong... it's just the under dash modules... the actual dash mounted hmi does not change.  It's not a cheap thing to do but I did it on the sole fact the older 8" screen Is pretty useless otherwise lol.

I forgot to respond to my original post. The voice recognition started working again about 3 days after the update. Not a clue why, but its all working fine since that time. Went on some recently changed roads and it kept up, even on the new double deck portion of I-635 Texpress lanes.

I have a 2015 GMC SLE but I only have OnStar Nav so no maps, such a big screen and I can't see a map...I'll be getting a RV Nav system anyway so I don't tow into a low bridge or propane restricted tunnel. Who invented OnStar Nav is not my fav person, just put a map in the truck and let me figure it out, I don't need to have someone to take my address and give me turn by turn directions.

They just sent me a great (not) $20 off to update for only $139 for Christmas. This is just simply stupid expensive. I bought a top of the line Garmin for that price and I get map updates 4X per year FOR FREE along with free traffic!!!! And the Garmin does a ton more than the Chevy nav. I am OFFENDED at the price they want for this!

I have a 2017 with factory NAV and CarPlay. I would’ve been happy without the built in NAV as long as I have CarPlay. It works much better than the GM navigation.

Watch your data as car play uses a bit of data on long trips. I like it though, car play that is. Have it in my car. When we get the new truck my wife wants the built in navigation.

Unfortunately, the built in nav maps are several years out of date in many areas.  I bought an update for my 2014 Tahoe and wouldn't you know it, the map was still two years out of date.  I just use the nav setup on my Android phone. At least it updates on a regular basis.  ?

I have a 2015.5 with Factory nav. Anybody know of a company that offers an Android auto / car play update?

The only way I know to do it is to switch out the HMI.  Chris White on this forum can do it for you.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
