Anybody ever seen this setup on the screen? It’s old 2016-17 promo photos from GM

I think that is the weather channel app and not the nav system.

I agree - weather app.

I agree - weather app.

I also agree with it being the weather app. If I’m not mistaken it requires an on star or XM subscription.

The weather channel app is not related to XM or onstar. It does however require wifi from either the truck or phone hotspot though (as does the Pandora app). It's available via the app shop store or whatever it's called, and must be installed.

So if i have the WiFi hotspot from onstar active in my truck, I should be able to use the weather app and pandora?

The weather app is through Sirius XM. At least on my '14 that is the way it works.

Yes. On my 2017, you need the truck WiFi (AT&T - I have the $20/month unlimited), or you need to connect the infotainment system to a WiFi hot spot such as your phone. You have to go into the app shop and install the Pandora and Weather Channel apps.

Actually, here’s a better link. Again, it depends on model year and infotainment system. Process is the same for GMC Sierra.

So how do I connect my trucks WiFi to my iPhones hotspot?

You’re actually bypassing the truck WiFi and connecting the infotainment system to your phone instead. Go into your WiFi settings and select your phone as the WiFi connection. You must have hot spot enabled on your phone prior to trying to connect to it.

Bummed they don't have the ability to upgrade and add the APP Shop to the 2016 models.  Would like to have this option to add additional apps to my system.

 

[catpartsman]

Me too! I’d like to have car play and Android auto on my 15 but my only option is a $1300 upgrade.

They are 2 different things:

 

From 2014 to 2016 there was a weather icon.  Data is supplied by XM through a paid subscription called "Travel Link" (not through an App).

Starting in late 2017 GM added an Apps Store to the display.  That weather is an actual App that uses cellular data.  It is different than the XM one.
