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.

      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.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
