I finally took a day and fixed my issue the installer I paid to wire it used the signal from the rear door speakers for the woofers and it sounded like complete garbage so took the center console out and removed the factory woofer and used that signal And now it sounds amazing. I was contemplating selling all of it and starting over but now am totally happy. I’m gonna upgrade the dash and door speakers next.

I fiber glassed my own enclosure for the AT4. I learned a lot of useful information if anyone else decides to glass a box in the new series of trucks. I've included a list of materials, goals, lessons

Ron,   You are correct. The Bose amp is behind the rear seat and that is where you will connect for the AT4 and the Denali. The non Bose system connection is at the firewall (you will not us

The Bose system does not sound good in the 2019s.  For the average listner they will be fine I guess but definitely not what I'd call good.  Not that any bose system is great persay but it's disappoin

Is it easy taking the back seat off?

It’s not bad at all. I’m sure there is a write up somewhere online.

I have a bad navtv unit, after about 40 mins or so I get some static in the system, it goes away after I shut everything down for a few minutes.  I messaged the navtv support team and they asked when I bought it, I said 4/10/20 he said it needs to be exchanged.  I had to buy a new one and then send the old one back for a refund.   Hope that corrects it, $600 is alot to spend to on something that isn't perfect.  But if you want to play with the newest tech, you have to be willing to work through some bugs.

 

Ill keep you guys posted.

I’ve just finished the exchange on my unit.  I had the same problem, dropped volume and static.  I installed the new unit and it caused loud popping noises periodically, especially with rapid changes in the volume up or down.  I thought I had a bad connection or frayed wire but checked everything and found nothing wrong.  Turns out the new unit they sent needed new files.  Tony from NAVTV helped me install the new files last night and everything now works perfectly.  So hang in there but be warned if the new unit doesn’t have the newest files you’ll need to update it.  The popping noise sounds like a rock hitting the windshield...a little unnerving.

I’m glad to hear they resolved your issues. I bought mine in December so I’m assuming it needs to be replaced. After a few weeks it has only dropped the volume and then staticky twice but like others have said for $600 it should work perfect.

 

Another issue I’m having is the volume knob. Just one click from mute or all the way down is way too loud. One click has the loudness you need when driving on a rough or loud road. My door chimes are perfect. I have an audio control amp with a dsp and the gains are tuned perfect. Not too high. Not sure if it’s the NAV-TV unit causing this.

Well I spoke too soon.  While the popping noise is gone, it’s back to dropping the volume.  This is the replacement unit with supposedly upgraded chip and new files.  I’m thinking the Zen from NAVTV isn’t ready for our trucks...at least not mine.  I’m going to just live with hitting the reset button when it drops the volume.  At least the loud popping noise has resolved.

What reset button?

 

I got mine in and replaced it wednesday, I still have to send the old one back...

 

I have to pay shipping there

and I had to prepay the replacement....   If this one doesn't work, I am going to be livid....

 

Are there any other solutions if this fails....

 

Knock on wood mine keeps going the new one had been working for 2 whole days.

My installer put in a toggle switch to kill the power to it, so basic reset button.  That corrects the problem short term.  Let me know if yours works.  I also had to pay return shipping, which is ridiculous of course

New to the forum.   Is the head unit the same on both the Bose and non Bose systems?

 

the only difference is the speaker quality and Bose processor/amp?

Didn’t think the AmpPRO4 interface didn’t work with the 2019 GMC Sierra/Chevy Silverado?

Exploid,no it doesn't. There are 4 different types of non-Bose systems and they are all self amplified.

 

On another note, I have read a lot of posts on here about this NavTv unit for the Bose systems and I must say that for the money people pay for these(in the $600 range) the performance seems very poor. That is disappointing because I was thinking that was definitely the way to go as far as upgrading an entire system in a truck with the factory Bose. Seemed way better than getting post amp signals.

 

I think maybe that company should have thoroughly tested the unit before releasing it to the public.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
