Thanks for all the helpful information! I am currently collecting parts to do this for my 2015 Silverado. I bought a 2.5 HMI unit on eBay and the seller still has some of them. I paid $125 which was the cheapest I have seen so far for the HMI and I am working on ordering the other parts detailed in this thread. Here is the listing in case anyone else is searching for parts - https://www.ebay.com/itm/202883038007. 

I was wondering why it was cheap

af it doesn’t have navigation plug ?? I’d do/sell hmi2.5 with navi shipped for 200$

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

I will be doing this radio/hmi upgrade soon and was wondering if anybody had to replace or tried to use the triple usb on the lower dash? I know the console one has to be replaced for android auto but The one I'm talking about is the one with the cover near the cigarette ports.

I just got my HMI and radio module installed today in my ‘14. I had the IO5 radio and upgraded to the IO6 navigation. Installation was simple too. The 14/15 models will need the newer 16+ USB ports. One inside my console, and one up under the screen on the front of my console. I mounted my GPS antennae up under the dash by the windshield. This is absolutely amazing. I missed having the GPS in my old truck with an aftermarket deck. The GPS and CarPlay are exactly what I wanted. PGamboa on here and https://harnessdr.com, and and GTPprix over at https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com are incredible at what they can do! If anyone has to swap out their USB hubs on the console, I would highly recommend the $2 pick set at harbor freight to get behind the hub to release the locking tabs.

Any non GM truck person wouldn’t think twice about this upgrade, but it feels brand new to me again. I love how it will read my text messages for me without having to look at my phone.
 

Do you happen to have the part number for the usb up under the screen on the front of the console? I see I'll have to replace that one as well...

@th3magpi3 can the 84331775 HMI be used for this upgrade?

Yes. We can program ANY 2.5 HMI. Regardless of donor vehicle or part number. If it's a 2.5 we do it!

I can vouch for Frankie. He has quality parts offered at a great price for forum members here. Have dealt with him many times and he has always been prompt, professional and takes great care in packaging his parts.

Hi,
 
so i'm a bit confused.. sorry new to all of this. if i go buy this https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/2014-2015-5-c-k-platform-car-play-upgrade-retrofit-programming/ does that ship new hardware to me or do i have to ship them hardware and have that flashed? I've been wanting to do this upgrade for a long time and was on the fence about the $2000 Alpine GMi209 but if i can do it cheaper im in [emoji4]
The price you see listed is the programming fee with you supplying the appropriate hardware.

You can chose to have WAMS supply you with the hardware. If you choose to have them supply the hardware, you’ll get brand new hardware with warranty and you’ll retain your GM factory warranty or extended warranty (if you still have it).

I called linkswell, it will not communicate with the hmi, will lose some features.

 

i added turn signal cameras, front camera, rear camera in motion.

also retrofitted rear seat entertainment and linkswell said i would loose it all.

phoenix will retain it all if oem.

Programming is the defaul set price, if you supply the parts and ship them in.

i just purchased this for my wifes 2015 tahoe, i selected to have them supply the parts. They order them new.

finding used ones would only save me $100 in the end, thats with vehicles that crashes, rolled or more then 50,000 miles on them. For me $100 more for new was a better option.

i retrofitted the cluster with wams, dis the same, bought new through them and very happy. 
also much faster then you waiting to get the used part, pay for shipping to them, then pay shipping back.

just my 2 cents

Did you get the cluster from WAMS also?  I've been looking into getting the cluster as well as the HMI/radio upgrade.

With WAMS, you’ll get new hardware with full oem warranty and factory/ gm aftermarket warranty compliance.That’s why I went with WAMS.  It’s worth the piece of mind to me with modern day electronics.

      87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
