Installed on my 2014 Silverado LT

Really recommend the upgrade for sure, the upgraded hmi2.5 is faster, Apple carplay also a ????????  and the Denali Cluster makes for a major upgrade to the dash look!! Really recommend the hmi2.5 With navigation because u can also use the navigation on the Denali Cluster might aswell do it right and go all in the first time. (Unlocking the hmi also allows for you to watch movies while driving ?????? Last photo)

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

If your streaming music from your phone, you can’t skip tracks with the steering wheel controls either. Once it’s programmed, it’ll work 100%. 

I was able to skip tracks on Pandora today. I also discovered hey Siri works. I don’t have an Android phone or other streaming apps, so my experience is limited at this point.

Anyone have a good link for Denali instrument clusters, other than WAMS or Coastal? I’m looking for a used 2017 and just have it reprogrammed. I may have missed some of the other links.

It's a bit cumbersome to find exactly what you're looking for, but car-part.com is where I found mine and the price with shipping was very reasonable compared to other sources.

Okay cool Thanks! I’ve been looking high and low and everything out there seems to be anything but 16

If you need any tips on searching let me know.  It's a bit of a pain because you have to call around to the junk yards to get solid info once you do find the right part, but I found one pretty quick and got a good deal on it.

Huh.  That's weird.  I know I did have to mess around with years and interchange/non-interchange before I found the right thing.  I searched trucks as well as the SUVs.  Maybe there just aren't any now, but there were tons when I got mine.  I went with a '16 Denali cluster 23407872 for my 2015 Yukon.  It would be nice if you could simply search by part number on car-part.com but I'm not aware of a way to do so.

Is there a way to add YouTube to the apps list?

I don't think you can add any video streaming apps to CarPlay. The only way to do it is to jailbreak your phone first and download apps outside of the Apple store.

Now that I have the 2.5 module installed, is there any value in my IO6 2.0 module that I removed? I figured the Nav module might be worth something. It would be nice if I could re-coup some of the money I spent.

I sold my 2.0 IO6 hmi on eBay for about what I paid for my 2.5 IO6 hmi on eBay. Seems like around $200 of my memory serves me.

Okay, so I have an Android phone. I was hoping to figure a way to add YouTube to the head unit or modules. Or Add it to the car play when I decide to go ahead and move forward with that upgrade. . Reason being is I noticed that YouTube and using an aux cord or just Bluetooth and YouTube provides a considerably higher volume output with more clarity IE more bass and clear vocals.

Android Auto has significantly more options available since you can download open source apps. You would likely be able to run YT with a widely available app.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      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.
