I just purchased a 2014 gmc sierra SLE and it did not come with navigation. What are some of my options to get this feature without breaking the bank?

i think you have to break the bank.. i believe .. and i could be wrong, but you'll have to replace the whole stereo unit to mirror.... maybe someone will chime in.. maybe there's a cheaper option.

 

good luck man...

You can get Onstar nav for like $10/month (I do not believe you need a full subscription).  Not as great as the full nav system, but works when you need it.

Factory Nav is nothing great.  I use apple car play in my '17 for directions easily inputed. Maybe upgrade the head unit to apple car play?

As mentioned I think the best solution would be to upgrade the head unit to one that accepts apple car play or Android Auto.

 

There may be some companies who can put the newer software on your older head unit.

MVI the link posted above does this and/or add video in motion with smartphone mirroring without the car play/auto

Is there some secret to getting Android auto to work.  My truck has the 7" touchscreen and has the screen projection icon on the home screen.  I have the Android auto turned on in the audio options.  I've tried with a galaxy s4 s5 and s8 with the original Samsung cables plugged into the usb ports in the jump seat lid.  All the phones work with Android auto in my gf Hyundai.  Usb ports defiantly work as the phones Will charge and I can play music from a thumb drive.  I've tried with them hooked up to blue tooth but still no go.

 

I watched a YouTube vid and when they plug their phone in the projection screen changes to an Android auto one.  When i plug a phone in it stays on screen projection and clicking it simply gives me a message saying to connect a compatible device

 Thats weird ,unless its some canada privacy  thing That the USA put on it   ! IT should work Is it turned on in managed devices menu ?

 

Does anything work if you remove android auto from the phone and plug it in, the truck should automatically download it to the phone after you plug it in the usb

Have you tried a different cable?
I’ve had bad cable issues in the past where a not so good cable will prevent CP from starting.
Attach an iPhone and see if CarPlay starts up. And yes, the projection icon should flip automatically to AA or CP when a phone is plugged in.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
