From what I found out about this...the shop icon came out in I believe 2018. If you opt for or get the shop icon, you have to buy the Pandora app. Prior to that, it was standard and free.

The HMI I got from Dokus was from a 18.

So how is shipping going to be to get our module(s) to Canada and back? I had an e-mail out to Chris and haven't heard a peep yet.

Most things I buy from eBay cost between $12 and $15 to ship to me.

I don't see it costing much more to return. I have a corporate shipping account so I'll get the best discount available.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Not yet, Scott. I'll keep you posted. Shop should be fully set up with verified tested units within 2 weeks time. (I understand, it feels like an eternity). 

 

Any updates in regards to successful programs will be posted here.

I know lol. I'm also incredibly impatient and waiting for all of these parts to come in legitimately feels like an eternity. 

 

I want this to be working in my truck so badly.

Or if you can wait a week or two I'll be offering the same service for a fraction of the price. If you need it ASAP I'd go with WAMS

So I’ve been following this thread closely.

Recently I took my truck (2015 Silverado)to get my transmission checked out I thought it wasn’t smooth.Turns out there was a update and they charged me $130. With that simple update it runs way smoother.

so after some digging I decided purchase an VCXNano and paid The $40 subscription.

Updated the radio myself instead of paying the Dealer more of my money ..Now Siri works perfectly .

 And I’m able to make calls receive them and text just fine .

I. Got the HMI 2.5 from Dokus

Bought the USB Port

and Updated Radio.

Hell yeah! Congrats on doing it yourself. 

 

Now, would you mind doing us a favor? I need to try and figure out what build date the radios start working with the update and don't require a full replacement. 

 

If you could let me know your part number and build date of the radio I would appreciate it. Thanks! 

 

P.S. - Do you know what exactly they updated on your tranny? My 2-1 downshift sucks. Feel free to PM me.

Where would I look to see what my radio firmware version is. I would like to compare mine to @Crsortiz1

On the other hand I love that a fellow Canadian is doing this and shipping will be a breeze!

Hey everyone. I just bought a 2015 silverado and am incredibly interested in this process. I think once @th3magpi3 is ready I will jump on board.

Manage to pull that part number?

Been lurking here from time to time but want to say thanks for the research and will be interested in upgrading my 2015.5 2500 when you get setup.
