As the title says, I'm looking to add internal (SD Card) Navigation to my 8" RPO "IOS" radio.

The Card Kit, GM part number 84531832 is available and is around $400 with 1/2 hour shop labor to add it to the database and register into the radio system.

While I realize that I can simply do the Apple CarPlay thing, I would like to have it integrated with the system via the SD card slot.

Has anyone successfully done this upgrade already? 

Hate to be the first (guinea pig).

Thanks in advance...

Bill.

I did this upgrade on my I0S radio, in my 19 trail boss. The kit comes with the card and a verification number. I programmed the radio and cluster myself cause that's what I do. The card becomes marri

No it is not.  The tech geeks behind the site "infotainment.com" are working on a solution that will allow people to upgrade from IOR to there "IOU" version.

Bill, I may be mistaken, but can the IOS unit be upgraded? Here is a list of the units available for the 2019 Trucks.

 

IOR Audio system, 7" diagonal GMC Infotainment System, includes multi-touch display, AM/FM stereo, includes Bluetooth streaming audio for music and most phones; featuring Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability for compatible phones

IOS Audio system, 8" diagonal GMC Infotainment System, includes multi-touch display, AM/FM/SiriusXM stereo, Bluetooth streaming audio for music and most phones, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability for compatible phones, advanced voice recognition, in-vehicle apps, personalized profiles for infotainment and vehicle settings

IOT Audio system, 8" diagonal GMC Infotainment System with Navigation, includes multi-touch display, AM/FM/SiriusXM stereo, Bluetooth streaming audio for music and most phones, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability for compatible phones, advanced voice recognition, in-vehicle apps, personalized profiles for infotainment and vehicle settings. Includes greater memory.

Here is a TechLink Article  https://gm-techlink.com/?p=10145 

 

I would like to know if the upgrade you are getting is just adding a SD card reader or the full Navigation installation.

The card becomes married to your vehicle and wont work on another. Called tech line with verification number  and then they alter the programming on the SPS side, so if your radio or cluster is ever programmed again in the future, it knows you have the upgrade. It's kinda irritating to have a setup ready to fly navigation and it not being there when I bought the truck, o well, it has it now, and I'd do it again. If you can't do the programming yourself, I'd expect to be charged at least an hour of labor at your GM dealer

So once you are done you don't have to leave the SD card in correct?  It's just used to program the radio and then you are done with it.  The Nav that is installed is it Google Navigation, WAZE, OnStar or anything like that?  Can you tell where they are getting their maps and directions from?  I am think about doing this potentially as I use NAV alot and thought it was installed too - not having to hookup or have your phone all the time will help and be more clean.

Card stays in the slot. Believe the software is made by Telenav. Traffic is from Onstar.

Do you have a write up on how you programmed it yourself?

For the most part, if you don't have access to GMGlobalconnect , TIS, or service programming contained in it along with a MDI (1 or 2) , you wont be able to do the programming for the GM card kit. In the kit package, i found nothing stating that programming labor was included with the kit. It does have a verification code the person programming will need to call tech line and set things up before programming it.

Just had Nav installed yesterday. 2019 RST with IOS radio. Truck came with SD slot in center console. 45 min at the dealer. Works great. The nice lady I spoke with at GM tech said it would only work with IOT radio. Little disapointing the Tech folks are not up to speed on their own product.

you don't happen to live in dallas do you. dealer is telling me this can't be done and i'd rather not buy the sd card and have them not be able to figure out how to do it.

I’m in Houston and had mine added last week. You can’t do it yourself - 99.9% of people on here do not have an MDI or Tech Membership - so dealer it is. Takes 30-45 minutes, most of that time is taken to reprogram your cluster so it displays Nav information there. Your dealer CAN do it, they most likely haven’t done one yet. Mine was the first for this dealership also, and it still only took 45 mins.

Nice to know that can be done, but a better use for the sdcard slot is music - lots and lots of music.  With wireless android auto available, I'd rather spend the $400.00 on a new Pixel3a with the wireless Android auto, which is better NAV anyway.

Where in Houston did you have it installed?

Since you seem to have a good handle on this, thought I would ask is it possible to upgrade from IOR to IOS (hardware or software)?  I got stuck with the IOR model (doesn't even have the climate control app) and wanted to get it up to the IOS version at least so I could use the app interface to add stuff as I wanted.  Thanks.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
