10:43 am, unlocked truck after sitting locked for 45 mins.  Started engine. Boots up and works as normal.  I cycled through some of the sources,  it works fine now except for ok google..  My bet is its gonna happen again. Lol.

It may. I've seen it a few times on various vehicles but I've never seen one persist through a full drive AND sleep cycle ?

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

Is there a way to tell which HMI is in my truck from the developers menu? (pressing power, home and menu at the same time) . I have a 2014 Sierra 1500 SLE Z71. From reading all 76 pages I’d assume it’s the 2.0. But I’m confused because my truck has the capability of playing movies on my screen from a usb drive?

Don’t need the dev menu for that it’s a 2.0 . The movies from usb (in park) was removed on 2017+ applications

So I just bought a 15 silvy yesterday.  Was excited to have nav..... wrong... I hit the nav button and only a compass pops up.  Guess it's actually onstar nav and I'm not buying that subscription. Also does not have the projection feature.

 

What's the cheapest way to either, A.. get google maps on the screen or B... get my android phone to project google maps on the screen.  Not looking to break the bank. Prob have to go aftermarket?  

 

Options?

Yep, do the 2.5 HMI/radio module upgrade for android auto / car play. I did that on my 2015 and very worth it. I do still have factory nav but used AA about 90% of the time.

So if I have this right, I'll need to

Upgrade to 2.5 Hmi module and have it programmed to my vin.  And also the usb connector...... anything else?What kinda $$?  Under $250?

So really for a minimum install you need the hmi, radio and usb hub. You can find all of the details here:

https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/2014-2015-5-c-k-platform-car-play-upgrade-retrofit-programming/

Most of our customers that choose to supply their own hardware are out the door under $400 generally around $350 or so average.

My truck has the usb hub already in the jump seat. So I just need the 2.5 module and send it to be programmed to my vin?

 

If I were to buy a used 2.5 module, is there a particular part number I should be looking for?

 

Do I need a new radio module too?

I have one of those awesome 2016 Silverado’s that has the 2.0 hmi. I have the XM/HD radio and the proper usb connector. WAMS has my 2.5 hmi that I ordered off eBay as we speak. Can’t wait to get this installed and fingers crossed everything goes well. I’m always nervous about things that seem so easy when the dealer said it would be a huge undertaking.

I recently bought a 2016 Sierra - the dealer assured me that all 2016's came with CarPlay- when I took deliver I plugged my phone in - NO CARPLAY -- Even the GM at the dealer was stumped - found out some 2016's got the old HMI module -(GM ran out of the new ones) They were going to make it right, I went to Best Buy and found an aftermarket system for $620 installed (adapters etc..). Did research on this site and found WAMS -- I emailed them a couple times - I really couldn't believe it was a easy as described!  Well it was - I ordered the part from them since they use new OEM parts -- arrived yesterday took 35 mins to install (NOTE: while you have the upper and lower glove boxes off change the cabin air filter) Turned the truck on works perfectly -- Great product WAMS.

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      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.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
