What's the next mod we all want Phil Gamboa to figure out?

[H-town Silver Bullet]

Just saw the new video put out by Phil. Pretty cool stuff. Only thing I thing could be added is a function to keep the truck running with key removed. Just so keys can be taken and the truck can remain running without turning it off. I like the window up option and will be excited once the auto window function mentioned in the video gets debuted. 
 
Also so what gives on going back to the Silverado cluster? Sorry if answered elsewhere. 

I had this feature on my Avalanche from an aftermarket remote start/alarm. It was very nice to keep it running when I removed the key (super hot or super cold days) when running into a store or something... Now I just get out as normal and just immediately use the remote start to turn it back on [emoji2379]

Express Up on Passenger Window is in the works.

So does this mean I should send my bcm to wams now per our conversation?

 

Actually what is express up?

Express up - still in the works.

 

Express up is when you press the up button all the way and the window rolls up by itself. The driver should have express up but for all other windows, you have to press and hold.

So all windows have express down, but only driver has express up.

going off topic here but i would love to see if phil can figure out a way to route rear ac using the middle console upgrade.  that would be awesome and helpful and i know many people would enjoy this as well

I believe this to be more of a piping than electrical project.  There are vents under the front seats directed to the back.  If they could be extended and routed out through the back of the console,  you'd have moving air from your HVAC that you can feel.  I find the current system very effective but many prefer to feel the air moving.  As a side note,  I found a cheap alternative.  We have a family member allergic to bee stings so keeping windows open to help speed up the cooling process is risky.  I bought a 12V fan, mounted it to a base and sit it on the hump on the floor in the back seat area.  (My wife and I can easily reach the switch from the front and can move/adjust the fan as we please) The cold air from the HVAC comes in at floor level and my little fan kicks it throughout the cabin in a hurry!

Like a turbo timer? Just wondering what you are trying to achieve with keeping it running after removing the key.

My other vehicles are keyless. It is just nice to not have to turn the truck off for three minutes to jump out and do something then come back and turn it back on. Sometimes I have to do that multiple times. Never really thought about the turbo timer thing. But nifty idea since it is a diesel.

Is the expected final hope on this to only be pass front? As there is only one motor in the pic there. Or is it going to be for the rears as well?

Curious if this might involve the use of some Escalade bits and pieces .........and also wonder why the motor has to be changed. Juice to the motor should be controlled by the switch. It already has limits that shut the power off when fully raised or lowered from the factory. So a latching window switches (from the Escalade ??) would keep power on until the limit is reached then shut off vs. the momentary switches in place from the factory.

 

This is just my simple old mind trying to understand what is going on in the new truck's electrical system. It makes about as much sense as Common Core Math. Take something that is simple and works and complicate the heck out of it

I love this thread! LOL!

I was talking to someone about RF ID for push button start.

OEM Push Button for GM or Passive Entry (Push Button on door handles) are things I’ve explored, but due to complexities of programming, modules, I’ve been told next to impossible. Lol.

I am nearing the end of mods. I am working on adding Factory Trailer Brake, adding Lane Departure Warning. Since I retrofitted Seat Memory, it would tie in nicely.

I am also working on adding this headlight switch to run another set of lights.

Phil, I saw your video on making a harness for off road lights and the above light switch.  Do make and sell those? thanks Dogman816   [email protected]

FUNNY!!! I'm a math teacher and I HATE the Common Core movement.

I see you edited your post from "reacher" to "teacher." Should have left it alone, would have been funny.

So... LOL... I thought the same thing. But no. It doesn’t work that way.

 

The factory motor has 2 circuits. Power up and Power down. These come directly from the window switch. That’s the easy part of what your describing. So main power comes into the window switch, then the switch manipulates the motor.

 

When you hit the passenger window button from the Master Driver Switches, it sends a data signal over the LIN Bus (through the BCM), then communicates this command to the passenger switch, switch manipulates the window.

 

In the SUV platform, this changes. The passenger switch is completely different. Main power doesn’t come into the switch, but comes directly to the window motor (hence the need for a motor change). The motor as well has 3-4 new circuits (express up circuit, LIN Bus, and a few other circuits). This means all wiring in the door and door panel changes.

 

The LIN Bus channels are different. LIN Bus #3 and LIN Bus # 8 are in the chain but communicate differently on SUV vs Truck. So all that has to jive with the BCM so that it knows what configuration/calibration it needs to be.

 

At this time, I have control of the passenger window, from the passenger switch. I have no Express Up from the passenger switch. I have no communication at all from the Master driver switches to the passenger.
