Ordered the maps SD card  (https://www.shopchevyparts.com/electronics/2019-silverado-1500-navigation-system-conversion-kit-navigation-radio-upgrade/84531832-p-92300645.html) and had the dealership upgrade program my IOS system to now be Nav capable today. 

Charge was $95.00 to do all the software upgrades and all works great. The SD card is keyed to your VIN so it cannot be moved to another vehicle. 

Yeah, I could do the Apple CarPlay thing, but wanted the built-in Nav capability.

Yes, the mid level radio (and therefore the SD reader) is standard on LTZ. Buckets are not, so if there is no console, the card reader is in the same “module” as the USB ports on the lower dash.

Not sure I understand. What is an “IOS” radio? Do you mean the head unit (stereo) in the car didn’t come with NAV but for $95 the stealership enabled it?

IOS is the mid-level infotainment RPO code. If you buy that $370 card and have it flashed at the dealer, it adds the embedded navigation. Essentially makes it into an “IOT” which is the top level infotainment. 

 

It’s a handy addition for LT trim level trucks that can’t otherwise be ordered with NAV. Personally I think the price is a bit up there given it’s all software and no hardware changes, but that’s GM...

Does this also add the functionality where it shows the speed limit on the road you are travelling in the cluster display?

Sure does. It shows up as a small white square with the posted speed limit.

Thanks for the info.. I have a RST with the convenience II package.. but no build in Navi. I know I can use my phone / Android Auto.. but I never really liked that solution. I like it being build into the truck.  I assume it automatically lower volume when giving commands, etc.. just like factory?

Same configuration here. 

Some people feel that this is a bit much to have Nav, but I look at it as a one time non-recurring cost that is well worth it years later.

I piss away that much a month on Amazon for god sakes!

I have a '19 RST Z71 but my cluster doesnt have a spot for an SD card. Can this be done any other way? Would love to upgrade.

Look in the console. It should be on the front wall on the inside upper edge.

The base stereo in the RST does not have an SD slot and is not upgradable to nav. If you have convenience package II on your truck, you would have the SD slot in your console as Blanz said.

Another stupid question, but does this add any functionality so that you can have navigation instructions in the DIC as well, or is there a split screen capability in the main screen?

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
