Ok been following for a while, apologizing now if it’s been cover! 

I have 2014 GMC Sierra base model with the 4” screen. My truck is pre wired for backup camera. I ordered a factory 8” screen and HMI and back up camera, from the salvage yard. Main question is if it’s plug and play? Upgrading to io5 don’t need Apple car play or navigating. Just want bigger screen and touch. I got the radio in waiting on the HMI should be here tomorrow hopefully? Plugged in the new radio with out the new HMi and I get sound but no display, so when I get the new HMi will everything work?!?!!

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

WAMS-https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com White Automotive and Media Services. Chris is awesome. Are you sure you got the correct HMI.  Follow the instructions. Contact him during the hours listed via email. He can also do alot of other cool stuff during the programming.

Looking at this you state you have only changed the screen this far. Id assume you will need the new hmi to provide vusual. Who would of thought you would loose video when only upgrading the screen size.

I got the HMi/ radio and back up camera from the same truck from the salvage yard. I work for a BodyShop so only paid $200 for all 3. HMi will be in tomorrow.  Thanks for the info I’ll contact Chris once I get the HMI in

Yes this is true. Was hoping with the HMI that goes with this used radio it would be plug in play. Get that HMI in tomorrow

Dont plug it in. It will theft lock it.  It needs your vin.

Ok let me ask a question since I work for a Dealership ( not GM) I can get a brand new factory radio and HMI from GMC for some what cheap. Could they program it from the factory? if they could it will be the best way to go!  I might call my local GM Dealer and ask.

I got the non Nav HMI coming in tomorrow (used)   Don’t want Nav or Apple play. But if I have to still send it out to get programmed might as well spend that money on new factory HMI that hopefully gets programmed from the dealer.

You can plug it in all you want, it won't damage it but it will display the theft lock icon.

If you're interested in just getting an old 2.0 HMI I will sell you one pre programmed to your VIN for $100 plus shipping. Let me know if this interests you.

Well, the dealer is gonna be more money than a used unit. And they wont program it for free. If at all. But get prices ..

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      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.

      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.
