Replacing 2.0 HMI module with 2.5 HMI module to add CarPlay/Android Auto to 2014-2015 Silverado

[Frankielozano214]

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)

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.

Will do, thanks man!

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.
