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

Do you have the radio module with it too? You should sell as a whole kit. RADIO, HMI, and CLUSTER from the other thread. That might be a nice upgrade for someone with a new WT model.

Hey guys,

 

Just wanted to come back here and give a big shout out and thanks for @th3magpi3 for doing such an awesome job getting my HMI and radio module programmed. The day they arrived he had them programmed and out the door, had it not been for the holiday weekend i would've had them 2-3 days after.

 

He ensured they were programmed properly and once i got them had to get a new USB port and helped troubleshoot i had the wrong one. He made sure once my new one arrived my CarPlay worked perfectly! One of the best people I've dealt with and knows his stuff really well.

 

I wouldn't hesitate at all to use him for module programming or questions. Great prices, Great Guy!

At a minimum for proper operation you need the Radio, HMI and USB hub. If you want it ALL to work as a factory 2016+ you need to upgrade the instrument cluster as well. 

 

If you drop us a line from our website we can send you a curated parts list for the best possible results including the cluster etc.

Off topic....

 

Chris. Just wanted to let you know, with Cue turned off, the truck has been working perfect.  Also, for android auto, all you have to do is say "ok google", and android auto works perfect with voice control. There is no need to push any buttons on the screen or the steering wheel.

 

So for anyone who who does the 2.5 upgrade with ALL the extras from WAMS, AND has an aftermarket stereo using the NavTV module, TURN CUE OFF!!!  Or you will have issues with not having audio output to your speakers.

@the3magpi3 New to the forum but I’ve read almost every page of this thread. I have a 15 Sierra with the text app icon... I want to add CarPlay. Are you selling the hmi and radio modules or simply selling the programming? 

Thanks in advance 

@the3magpi3 yes same issue just Silverado

Got my radio module & HMI back from th3magpi3 yesterday...all installed and working great in my 2014 Silverado!!  Thank you Chad!!

 

Radio Module #84222864= $100 shipped (Ebay)....from a wrecked 2017 GMC Sierra.  There are 3 variations of these....from Work Truck's, From Non-Bose(UQ3), From Bose(UQA) vehicles.  Make sure you get the correct one & it has a 2016+ date on it for CarPlay/AA.

2.5 HMI w/Nav #84331503= $200 shipped (Ebay)....per Google, from a 2019 Buick or Chevy Impala?? seller could not confirm exactly.  Make sure it's from a US vehicle if it has factory Nav, a few Ebay auctions out there with Europe maps.

New USB port in arm console = $30 shipped (Ebay)....2 USB ports and headphone jack.  One's with the card slot are not correct/need to be replaced.

New Nav Antenna = $30 shipped (Ebay)

Radio Module & HMI shipping to th3magpi3 = $26....For VIN Programming...Honestly was a little reluctant sending to Canada....no worries though, takes about a week to get there & another week for return shipping from him.

VIN Programming & Return Shipping = $125

TOTAL = $511 (I now have Factory Nav & Apple Carplay)

Just to confirm, in order to get AA on my 2014 Sierra SLT with a Denali Cluster from WAMS, I would need to replace the cluster too correct?

No, only if you wanted the full factory integration with all of the steering wheel controls to work as intended inside AA/CP. However if you think you want to upgrade the cluster later to get those features (which I highly recommend as the entire system was designed around voice controls and pressing the button on the screen to use siri over and over sucks in CP for example LOL) we need to handle the conversion as everything is matched.

No. I replaced my silverado cluster with a denali cluster first. Then Later I did the AA 2.5 upgrade. I also got all the unlock features too. The cluster has nothing to do with the upgrade.   You need the hmi, radio, and usb port in the center console. All I have to do is say "OK GOOGLE" and it works perfectly without pushing the mic icon on the screen. Dont have to touch the screen at all.  AA does not work with the hands free button for the cluster. Our trucks, 14-15, dont have that ability. But it does show texts on the DIC. Or you push the listen button on the steering wheel and it will speak the text. You can also hit the text icon on the radio screen to show texts.

 

I think all this info is correct... lol.

 

Edit: it doesnt show actual texts on the DIC. it shows the option to listen or dismiss. Then, you can push the check button on the steering wheel.

Without a cluster upgrade you miss these features:

 

Track skipping / volume control via steering wheel paddles in Android Auto (it works in Carplay)

 

Long pressing the mic button to activate Siri/Google Assistant (like Chris said, it's designed around voice control so just say "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri" and it will activate your assistant.)

 

Now playing track in DIC with Android. (when you set your cluster view to media it shows information related to the current track playing. Apple iPhones will still show the now playing, Android devices will just show blank on the cluster)

 

All in all, if you're trying to do this on a budget I would say avoid the cluster upgrade. It's not worth a few extra hundred dollars to get these small features.

 

As always, if anyone is curious about performing this upgrade to their own vehicle feel free to contact me!

In mine....AA. Dont have CP

Track skipping- Doesnt work

Volume control via paddles- Does work

Long press voice button on wheel- Doesnt work.

Now playing track on DIC- Shows Audio off. 

 

All of this stuff for me, i dont miss at all. I never change the DIC except from MPH to Trip A.

 

But with all the stuff I have in my truck, Its amazing how everything works together.  

AGAIN, A SPECIAL THANKS TO WAMS AND MAG. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE HELP!!!

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.
