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.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
