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

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.

Note,  Nav maps updates are misnomer, it's really mostly only points of interest.  There are roads near me that are misnamed and have not been corrected in years.

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

If you haven't contacted Chris (whiteautoandmedia.com) of WAMS, Anthony Brush of MVI (www.gm-navigation.com) can set you up as well as they are a vendor on here.  There is certain programming that Chris does for MVI.  Chris is very knowledgeable but WAMS hours are only over the weekend and MVI is open during the week.  I've been pleased with WAMS as they are currently working on something for me.  I've also purchased a few things from MVI and have been very pleased with their knowledge and customer service.  You can't go wrong with either.

Not to hijack but I have AA question. I have a 2016 and it has all the settings to turn on android auto and I have the app on my phone, problem is I never see the icon (little steering wheel) on the truck screen to allow AA to start up. Its like its there but needs an update???or is there something I a doing wrong. I have the USB connected to the port in the lower dash as the instructions tell you.

What happens when you press the 'projection' button on the radio home screen?   (press home button on radio front then press 'projection' icon on screen)

 

Did you try another cable?

Some of the earlier '16s had everything but the actual software in the radio. I had to take mine to the dealer about a month after i got it, and have them put it on (free). Case of radio ready, but not the software.

Good point. 

Programming was released and available to update early production from about Mar 2016. 

 

And on some of the last built '16s it was not available on some trucks.  Those trucks received a 'credit' on the invoice and have an rpo code indicating that. 

 

CPO    Credit, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto not available
1 - Required and only available with (IO5) Radio for orders created or produced beginning approximately mid-May and forward. The exact duration of this substitution is yet to be determined.

 

If the truck has CPO on the code label in the glovebox it will be necessary to get with MVI or other aftermarket and change the hardware in the truck.

Ok, switched the cable and found the projection icon. Pressed it and now there is a AA icon. Pressed that and now it works. thanks again guys for the info. Saw that WAZE was on of the apps that I could choose to use as navigation but after choosing destination it would not update. Bummer as I like that one because of all the warnings it supplies from other drivers. Google worked flawlessly.

I got my first map update back in August and it did not install. I had to have them send another and that did not install. The HERE company knows nothing about the product all they are is a store-front for GM. I was referred to GM by HERE. So I called GM and after what seemed hopeful I found myself connected to a person at the HERE company. So it is just a big circle jerk if you have problems. Nobody at GM and Nobody at the Here company can help. I have now a truck with no gps, weather or map because the map update software corrupted the infotainment system. NEVER buy a map update from GM because they will NOT take any responsibility if things go wrong. I have had the truck at the dealer and spent 145.00 on labor trying to fix this but no luck.

There's a guy on Ebay, OemCarAudio, that repairs GM Navigation radios.  Tell him your tale of woe, I reckon he has a solution for it.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
