Not sure if I am posting to the correct forum here but my brother is able to alter a slew of different features on his BMW utilizing the OBD2 port and an application.

Are there any applications that can do similar things for Sierra's?

Disclaimer: After looking at the BMW thread and attached pdf file, I'm still a little confused....

 

If you're looking to unlock electronic features and whatnot by a computer code, I wouldn't count on it. I've heard that some European cars and exotics are sometimes actually well equipped with features even if you don't have them accessible. (Like the car actually having Nav but the only way to access it is for you to pay and the dealer unlock the capability in there). I don't think GM does this.. I'm sure that if you want a certain feature that you currently don't have, it will require you to purchase an new phisical unit, etc.

 

(I apologize for the bad grammar)

Being a VW/Audi guy in the past this stuff is amazing. I think the best feature was being able to add in the auto roll down/up window feature to the key fob.

 

I don't believe this exists for our trucks or if it does I haven't been able to find it.

We can roll the windows down via the fob, but not up via the fob. Press and hold the unlock button on the fob. It needs to be enabled in the Mylink system for the feature to work.

I don't understand why we can't roll them back up that way though.  WTF GM?

I know.. It's a bummer. I'd assume it's a safety concern. I think a roll up feature would be more useful than the roll down.

@Loco-diablo I know about that. I was just painting a picture of what the coding can do.  My '16 didn't have the auto down keyfob until a recent update though. My bigger wish was that all the windows were auto-up on the controls in the vehicle. At the very least the driver and front passenger. Can't tell you how many times I forget the front pass isn't and have to turn the truck back on.

I’m actually in full understanding of the original question being a Bimmercode/BMW owner as well as a GMC (Daily) driver.... I’m actually looking to answer the same question so if I find something I will get back with you & good luck with ur hunt. ✌?

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
