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?

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

      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
