I have a Factory Nav module, HMI 2.0, and the USB/SD Reader for sale after upgrading mine in my 2015 Sierra SLT by MVI.  I'm asking $300 for the whole package.  It has the last map update (2017 version)...

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 know it's been brought up before; but my experience is that Apple Carplay works better with this mod than Android Auto. If I use my Iphone , I still have steering wheel volume control and voice commands ( for texts and calls), and sometimes I have dic info that is accurate. On my Nexus 5x I have no volume control on steering wheel and no info on dic. I don't know what the results would be if we updated the gauge cluster. My dic is usually on mph, and my arm is long enough to reach the volume knob on the radio; so it's not a big deal. I guess none of this is a big deal, except for the reading and recording of text messages by voice; I think that could be a game changer in regard to safety. I am older/ middle aged, but I still can be distracted by my phone.

Hi,

I got my USB port and hmi module. I was also able to update the radio and hmi to the latest version via gm sps. So every thing is working except from Siri is not talking...... so I had the text app in the old hmi, but just the radio update doesn’t help. Has anyone an idea or did I need the radio module?

Thanks

Based on what I read previously in the thread, there are a lot of variables, but if you're driving a 2015 or earlier model, you'll need both the HMI and radio modules for full functionality.

Did you buy the hmi new?

Pierre,

 

Your radio is not compatible. You need the newer 2016 radio as well. SPS updating will not give you functionality, as the hardware itself is different.

Just found this thread today and read through the whole thing.  Some great info here, and most importantly, enough explanation and research to save me a lot of money.  I was planning to buy a whole new radio and HMI (MVI was the most likely seller) which was going to take time to save up for.  As it turns out, I was able to verify that my 2016 Silverado was one that suffered from insufficient stock syndrome.  That's a LOT more manageable, so I just ordered a 2.5 HMI from dokus so will hopefully have AA by next weekend. :)  I'll let you know if I run into any problems.

 

Thanks to @Darmichar for starting the conversation!  I'm guessing it has helped a lot of people out (me included).  And thanks to everyone who contributed, especially @th3magpi3.  

So, almost 3 weeks later and I'm finally up and running!  I delayed updating here as I wanted to bring a positive outcome.  Unfortunately, the journey wasn't without its problems.  The HMI module I ordered was delivered very quickly, but when I plugged it in, it threw a "Calibrate Device" error, and the radio wouldn't start up with it installed.  Mike (dokus223) was great to work with, tho, and took the module back, verified that the programming wasn't right, reflashed the VIN and got it back to me.  I got it installed tonight and (after a brief red "No VIN" msg pause to make me flinch) it's working great!  I tested both AA and ACP and both have full functionality for me.

 

It seems the HMI is from a newer truck than mine since it adds some functions other than AA & ACP.  App downloads, myChevrolet connectivity, and WiFi connection to name a few.  Wifi connects just fine, but the others I note won't connect.  I'm curious to know whether those will even work with my config; any thoughts?  No big deal for me since my primary goal (AA) has been met.

@Darmichar Any luck?

 

Im also trying to do this upgrade for my 2015 Silverado 1500. I found some parts online but im not sure if these are going to work with my truck. I just followed @Ben Bassinger list of parts he used earlier in the thread. Im reluctant to buy them I want to make sure they will work. Also I need a programmer either WAMS as that's what he used or @th3magpi3 can possibly help me out. As it being a 2015 I will be purchasing the newer radio module ( I would like the HD radio), HMI 2.5 Module and the updated USB ports. I attached photos of the parts that I found online. I really just want Apple Car Play. 

Recently joined the thread and I'm happy to be on here. Great community!

Thanks I saw that. 

 

I went ahead and ordered all 3 three items. New USB Module (P/N: 13509942), Used Radio Module (P/N: 23402909), and used 2.5 HMI module (P/N: 84028492) . What are some programing options that I can get with this besides the apple car play? I seen that some people have Video playback, back up camera always on, GM NAV, etc. Also do prices change for each custom option program?

Do you only pimp your services on this forum or do you ever actually answer questions people have where the answers could help others???

      Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.
