 Can you install some type of antenna?  The only thing I did not do is unhook battery.  Like I said it is working fine with the exception of Google maps saying "searching for gps signal". It comes in and out

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.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
