Awesone work! Can't wait to get started on this one.

What radio P/N should we shoot for? And I know it'll take some time to shakedown all the ins and outs, but did this remedy all the Siri/Android feedback issues?

I'm using an 84278527 but any radio module from a 2016+ sierra or silverado will work. 

 

Look on ebay for "U2M radio" and verify the build date is after 2016 and has IO5 in the compatible options and you're set. 

 

Siri and AA should be fully functional soon! just getting everything put back together :)

For anyone interested I believe I will have the ability to do programming very soon. I have made quite a bit of progress and hope to have the reprogramming method refined and ready within the next few

Making even more progress! HMI has been updated to the newest software, which means Wifi compatibility ! OTA updates are enabled, meaning you will receive all future software updates for the HMI over

For anyone following along I am once again waiting for parts. I was having issues with the radio module I had originally ordered. A new module is on order and should be installed and ready to go by th

How do I contact Dokus? Does he have a website? Ebay seller?

eBay seller ID is dokus223. I don't see a listing for the 2.5 HMI right now, but this might be on account of (as woodyfriedt said earlier) he took the week off.

I haven't seen one for a few weeks. Someone else asked me and I was unable to find one on his page. 

 

Here's one that is $10 more than Dokus. and it's the same part number as the one I received from him. @Kboyts

 

And just so you're aware you may need to have BOTH modules programmed, not just one - even though your radio is from a newer vehicle. I'll be offering programming for BOTH modules for around half of the price of what the other guys want for ONE module for everyone who has been following the journey here :)

What do I need to look for if I have factory Navigation and want to keep it functional and add AA/Carplay?

@th3magpi3 I hope I can just buy the radio and sent it to you instead of having to also sent in the HMI but if you need both then I’ll put back my 2.0 in the mean time. 

So just look for any U2M radio and I’ll be set?

Gonna be a bit more pricey. You need an IO6 HMI 2.5.

 

Here's one.  But they'll run you 2-3x the price of a non-nav version. 

 

You'll also need an IO6 radio. PM me for more details :)

This is the route I'm looking at as well. Don't know why but I kind of want to keep my factory nav.

IMHO Google Maps is leaps ahead of the factory NAV but hey, it's your truck man! Why not have both.

Oh I agree. I still use google maps on my phone to double check what the factory nav is telling me to make sure it's not doing something stupid. lol  

 

I guess I could go without it to save money and if I ever feel I want it back I could upgrade it in the future.

For sure. It's your call. Feel free to send me a pm and we'll get you sorted out :)

For anyone else curious, I'll have a full informative post and new thread soon with all the details. Hoping the have everything set within the week.

I'm sure this is out of scope for this thread, but i recently purchased a 2014 WT and would ove to have a AA/Carplay HU without spending 2k+.

 

Any hope for those trucks starting out with IO3 or is aftermarket with something like the iDatalink by Maestro the best bet?

Folks,

 

Just wanted to let you know that I was able to locate a remanufactured radio/HMI set from Digital Dash Solutions on eBay for $540 for my Sierra 1500 (Bose, no factory nav).  Parts arrived yesterday, I installed it over my lunch hour today.  Outside of a Android communication error 8 (resolved by reloading AA on my phone), the install was straightforward and the tech support from DDS was outstanding.

 

I realize it ain't the cheapest option, but outside of my time reading this forum and checking pricing, I've got a whole 30 minutes into this.  Can't say enough about them if you're looking for a one-stop shop.

Honestly that's not a bad deal if it comes as a single order for both the radio and hmi already programmed. Did you have to trade in your old hmi?

Excellent first post. That's a decent deal for people who were willing to pay $750 for this upgrade.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
