Going to need some more context here but they work just fine with our CarPlay/Android Auto retrofit kit.

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

Cell phones above iPhone 13 and Samsung s21 will not work, GM has not updated to be compatible. 

My phone is a S22 ultra and has worked just fine on both my 2014 that I did the 2.5 upgrade on and the 2018 that was already equipped. I think you might want to try again.

Hi all, couldn't find this answer. I currently have a 2015 Silverado with the 2.0 HMI, wanting to do the upgrade to the 2.5. I currently have the io6 with Navigation, I know if I do the upgrade with the io5 I lose the factory navigation. I'm not so much concerned with that because I only use Waze/Google Maps anyways. But, will I lose some of the OnStar functionality (like locating where I parked or the tracking functionality if stolen) if I go with the io5 instead of the io6? 

Thanks!

Google up White Audio and Media Services.  They have all the bits and pieces to go from 2.0 to 2.5 and keeping IO6.  

 

Or...read this 88 page thread you posted in which mentions White Audio A WHOLE LOT OF TIMES.

The reality is that many times when these are stolen, they swap out the ECM under the hood with another one. The ECM is tied into OnStar and preprogrammed with your VIN and when swapped out with a different one, OnStar no longer able to "see" your vehicle. It takes all of about 5 mins from when they start the stealing process until they are driving away in your vehicle. GM is fully aware of this shortcoming as well as other issues but turns a blind eye to it...

Thanks. Yes, I'm aware of White Audio and Media, that's where I am ordering the upgrade. Couldn't find any mention of the impact to OnStar functionality on his site or on the 88 pages of this thread though so that's why I asked the question. 

 

Seems however that the impact to OnStar lies elsewhere. Thanks for the insight.

Have a 2015 Sierra 1500 Denali but when the radio boots up it doesn’t say Denali it just say gmc and it has the projection app. If I don’t have phone plugged in and click it it recognizes no phone,but if I plug my iPhone in and click the projection app it just beeps. It won’t open to anything just beeps when clicked. So I’m thinking the previous owner put a newer radio in giving the option for car play. I can go in settings and car play and android auto settings are there, so why does it just beep and not enter car play?

Can someone put a link to a parts list needed to upgrade to this unit, trying to upgrade to CarPlay.  I have the 2015 Tahoe with Bose speakers and screen that lifts up just as in the video.

Google White Audio and Media.  They have the items you need to upgrade HMI.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
