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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
