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.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
