Add remote start and backup camera to IOB

I have searched all over this forum for answers to my questions and I'm as confused as ever.  I just purchased a used 2016 GMC  Sierrra 1500 quad cab Elevation Edition. I want to add a few things that I'm amazed it didn't come with.  I've already been to dealership and they were not much help.  I want to add remote start, backup camera, and an Onyx Plus XM (using stock shark fin antenna).

 

1) Remote start- according to dealership and what I've read on here I need item # 22997089.  Anything else?  Intellilink or computer need flashed at dealership?

 

2) Backup camera- dealership parts guy says can't do.  I found a set up on infotainment.com that looks like OEM and will work but I have code IOB in glove box.  Replacing the IOB radio module scares the hell out of me.  What am I getting with this?  IO5? IO6? Will I still have the radio options I have now or better?  Will Onstar still work?  Warranty?  

 

3) Onyx Plus XM- I want to add this.  I already have one from my old truck.  I have it so I can move back and forth between my truck and my motorcycle while paying for only one service.  I want to use the factory shark fin antenna instead of adding another unsightly puck on the roof.  I've seen a fakra to SMB radio adapter on here.  Will this work without disrupting Onstar?  Where is a good place to mount the XM since the AUX port and power (lighter) are in center console?

 

One more question.  Whenever I use my turn by turn direction through Onstar or my cell phone, the directions are low volume.  How do I turn this up?  I tried auto volume but no luck.  Any good videos to help me navigate Intellilink?  That was two questions.  Thanks in advance.

We have some of this stuff at ADC Mobile - the camera interface will allow you to do up to six cameras if you want, as well as plugging in any HDMI device (to mirror phone, etc.): https://www.adcmobile.com/product/multi-camera-interface-for-gm-vehicles-w-iob-radios/

 

The remote start will be a universal unit, bit it's a pretty easy install and will work from factory fobs, aftermarket fobs or even your pone with a pretty cheap add-on module: https://www.adcmobile.com/product/flashlogic-data-module/

are wanting to stick wiff factory setups? factory remote starts run for 10 mins at a time, 20 mins max before you have to start wiff key. after market you get better range and longer runtime. back up camera you have many options, aftermarket radio, replace the rear view mirror wiff a backup camera added or find factory parts to plug into. don't know to much about XM don't have it up here so don't get to play around wiff it much.

 I have been successful.  Let me fill you on how I accomplished this.  First I purchased the following from GM Parts House online;  remote start (22997089), back-up camera (84062896), and tailgate handle (84016231).  

 

I installed the camera first.  I removed the old tailgate latch along with it's wiring.  There are several YouTube videos on how to do this.  I put the camera into the new handle with 2 screws (not included) and attached to tailgate plugging the two plugs into their appropriate places (keyless tailgate lock and the camera).  I ran the wire the same as the one I removed and plugged it into the same outlet as the other under the rear of the truck.  It helps to drop the spare to do this.  Done.

 

I installed the remote start next.  This was surprisingly easy.  Kit comes with hood latch, wire harness, two key fobs, and activation code.  I replaced the old hood latch with the new (remove large plastic cover, remove latch with two bolts, replace with new latch).  Next I was looking at how I would run the harness when I noticed a female plug lying right next to the latch (see picture).  The plug off the new latch mated right up with it.  How could I be so lucky after reading on here from others on how to run the new harness?  It was all there already installed!  I replaced the plastic cover and was done.

 

A few days later I got it into my local GMC dealership who flashed the radio computer to activate both the remote start and back-up camera and they worked!  All together with tax the dealership charged me $193 to do the programming.  I already had the activation code they needed for the remote start but they had to call TCSC to get one for the camera and the download they needed to flash computer with.  

 

All in all this was super painless and pretty affordable.  I now have these two options and am pretty happy.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
