Hi,

 

so small update from me, I installed my radio module and programmed it with the gm sps. The trick is to use a vin from a 2016 or 2017 Silverado.  So I got everything working.

did someone find a way to use the Siri voice button?

 

thanks

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

Ok question. I have a 2018 1500 lt and I just ordered an hmi 2.5 and antenna but I am wondering if I program the hmi with my vin will it give me access to all available features or will I have to program using the vin from my 2017 1500 ltz for it to work. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance

so i can share my experience.

I  had a HMI out of a 2016, I updated this with a 2016 vin plus lates update – I didn’t got the app store and WIFI, as my Radio Module came out of a 2017, I also updated the HMI with a 2017 Vin, I now have the app store and wifi in my HMI.

So it looked like some of the functionality is only available on certain models and not for all of them.

 

ALSO I need now some help – everything is working, I can hear siri, which is fab, but how can I answer calls in carplay, I cant do it via the steering wheel buttons or I didn’t found the right button.

Also did we found a way to get Siri Activation working?

 

 

Thanks

The only way to get Siri eyes free in Car Play and the rest of the controls to work is with one of our custom programmed retrofit clusters. We also highly recommend against vin swapping with SPS as it can cause some issue down the line.

This may be a silly question at this point but I'll ask it anyway. I own a 2014 GMC All Terrain.

From following this post I am sure that the 2016 HMI module I purchased has to be properly programmed to my truck's VIN.

Does the 2016 radio module I purchased also have to programmed to my VIN? Does programming only have to be done to the HMI module?

Like I stated, this may be a silly question but someone once told me the only silly question was the one that wasn't asked. Thanks y'all.

Both modules need to be programmed.

Thanks @GTPprix for the quick reply.

That's good. According to UPS you should have both of my modules by Wednesday. Shipped on 12/27. Holidays slowed things down.

As soon as I get this phase installed I plan on moving on to your cluster upgrade.

Ok so to get my 2014 to work I need a cluster from a 16+, an HMI 2.5, a radio module, and the new USB plug and programming on the cluster module and HMI?

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
