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

Chris said you really should unhook the battery. A thought would be to unhook the battery for about 30 seconds or more. Then hook it back up and see if that makes a difference. My modules are due back to me on Tuesday so i hope mine all work perfectly.

Hey Chris got everything hooked up and working great other than the rear camera in motion. It’ll come up for about 5 seconds and the it’ll say “service rear vision”. Reverse works like it always has.

Correct you’ll need the harness from Pgamboa if you wish to utilize that feature. 10 second plug and play install :)

Chris, will this be the same for me when I get mine back from you? This was an early 15. Just wondering if I should contact @pgamboa now to get that harness ordered.

 I had this same issue with my Samsung S7 when I added the Android Auto compatible radio... turns out the phone was shutting the GPS receiver off as a power saving measure - Make sure you phone is not in any kind of power saving mode (check settings- device maintenance -battery menu for power saving modes)

If you ordered the reverse camera access, you will need the adapter harness. PM to order one. I’ll need to know your truck Year.

Nav in Motion should work just fine but you’ll need the camera harness adapter for that to work.

I bought this 2016 Sierra last month, not realizing that it did not including Apple Carplay.  I was disappointed to know I bought one of the shorts.  Well, here comes @th3magpi3 to save the day.  He told me I only needed a new HMI 2.5 and I would need to update my radio.  I ordered the HMI 2.5 on ebay then sent my radio module along with the new HMI 2.5 to be re-programming.  In less than a day of receiving my parts, they were re-programmed and on their way to back me.  Installation was easy and now I have a fully functional 2016 Sierra.

So, today I got my stuff back from WAMS. So, I have my NAV in motion bypass module  This is a true plug and play adapter. All you have to  do is tap the rear defroster button twice and it will promt you to accept the offroad use agreement. Once you click accept, you would now be able to use all functions of Navigation while in motion.

 

PM me for details and a price. Check it out on MVI's website GM-Navigation.com for the list price and a video of it being used.

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Post Pics of your "Other" Rides

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
