I have a 2015 SLT and would like to install an IPAD PRO 12.9 into the dash. I have to relocate the climate controls and the radio control clusters to the center console. Has anyone seen an extension for the AWM 20706 60v 105c VW-1 Ribbon that connects the radio control cluster to the board on the back of the monitor? It resembles the picture. I need a cable that is about 12 inches long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have seen extensions for ribbon cables. Let me look....
So depending on how many pins you can buy a new cable or people stripped them and extend be hand.

How are you going to connect the ipad to the radio? Do you mind showing how you completed this when done?

Through Bluetooth. I currently have an Ipad Air in it now but did not need to relocate anything for it. This is my set up right now...

Thanks. Im thinking of doing the same. So all the controls are still factory and this just allows music via Bluetooth?

You may already know this but there is a how to video of a guy that did this and there is a app that allows you to control everything from on and off times to audio. I hate apple but still cool.
Also I'm still waiting for someone to buy the Phoenix dash. It is larger screen and plug and play.

I'll have to pull that vid up again. I thought he had made some other connections.

I second that Phoenix. I was thinking of using it as well.

Lastly been thinking of scraping all the factory stuff and running a pad of some sort, line driver/ preamp/ crossover and amp. If this is even possible.

Very possible but the issues are steering wheel controls, onstar,chime, ect...
There is a steering wheel to universal adapter.
I would say a bluetooth to high end line driver and then rca on that to amps.
Or a permanent molded in iPad and hard wire everything in.

      Passive Entry Rear Handle
      By drmilesbennell
      Hey all,
       
      I have a 2022 Sierra SLT with passive entry locks on the front handles. Does anyone know if I can easily add passive entry locks to the rear handles? Acquiring the actual handles would not be the issue but I'm wondering if there is a harness (or whatever powers the front passive entry buttons) in the rear door to begin with. I know they come standard on Denali, so was thinking GM might just leave the wiring in the door for different trims but not include the passive handles all around. As I type this, though, I'm sure there's programming that needs to be done but figured it was worth a shot - because why not!
       
      Any help is appreciated, thanks!

      FS '18 Sierra OEM LED Taillights - Custom Painted!
      By youn1033
      or sale are my set of custom painted, OEM Sierra Denali LED Tail Lights. I had these painted to go on my truck and unfortunately they took so long I had to go a different direction before I got them back.. I have since moved up to a 3/4 diesel and am hoping these can find an owner who will appreciate the time, effort, and $$$ that went into creating them!
       
      These OEM LED Tail Lights are selling for $300 - $500 a piece online, and the cost to have these custom painted Mineral Metallic to match the Denali paint + the lens smoked (lightly, not enough to dim them when lit!) was $700 - looking to get $1,000 including shipping. Can cut a better deal if wanting to pick up in person in the Houston, TX area.
       
      Please reach out for additional pictures, questions, etc. I respond much quicker via text (405) 642-9097
       
      Thanks!

      Grounding accessories to Body or Frame
      By Ronjon
      I'm going to be mounting one of those 10.6cfm twin piston air compressors (maxi trac, morrflate, stop n go, thor) inside my cab for onboard air. My question is can I ground it to the body, should I run a bulk head and wire to the frame, or run it with the positive back to the bay and ground out on the frame there?
      It has a 90Amp peak draw and I'll be running 6 AWG wire, it will be fused and run through a switch box to a 200a relay. I know in the past people will ground winches to the frame or body, but with all the computer stuff going on I've got this concern on the back of my head.

      2018 GMC Sierra SLE Tow Mirror X600 Pin Install Help
      By Letsdoit
      Ok, I've got the tow mirrors, I have the recommends pins, and I know the pin locations in my case 9, 11, 41. What I cannot find ANY WHERE is how to correctly install the pins into the door connector the plugs in the X600. My understanding its important because if you screw up, well, your in big trouble. I've watch various YouTube videos but because of poor lighting, big hands, cramped space, small pins it's hard to see. So does anyone have anything that DETAILS the correct orientation when inserting pin in connector slot? Appreciated, thanks.
