2018 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT. Ok. So. I am a bit stumped. The manual is no help and i can't find anything on google. I am trying to connect the truck to my phones wifi. I put it in as a hotspot. Selected wpa2. It will not connect. So perhaps i should have selected wpa. But now i cannot edit it and for the life of me, i cannot figure out how to delete it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S9PLUS.

He’s still going to have to engage the trial period WiFi that comes free with like 2gig and then setting it up with AT&T starting at $10 per month for basic amount of gig and $20 per month for unlimited WiFi. I use my iPhone or iPad LTE unlimited which a no brainer for me.

I'm not paying for any sort of plan. Can i not run this thru my phone for connectivity?  That was my question TXGreek. Your statement seems contradictory.

Thanks SierraDan. That's not what i want. I want to connect the truck to my phone wifi. Not the phone to the trucks wifi. My trial data plan expired and in canada I'm not paying 45.00 a month for a 3gb plan. So. I just want to use my phone as a hotspot and connect the truck to it.

Nope. It cannot run off your phones hotspot cause your cars LTE is in your roof mounted antenna only capable of direct LTE transferring it into WiFi.

I’ve heard you can “sometimes” connect your auto WiFi to your mobile hotspot by turning on your phones WiFi hotspot and same time set it on roof right next to antenna...just something I’ve heard.

May I ask why? On trips my wife uses her phone as a hot spot and runs her iPad off of that. I use my phone for everything through Bluetooth to whatever I’m driving. I listen to iHeartRadio and pandora and use the GPS on my phone too, all at the same time. The only expense is my normal unlimited phone plan. I’m just curious and maybe technically behind.

Ok. I had it backwards :freak:  LOL

I have the AT&T wifi in my truck (2017), but I have tested using my phones hotspot instead. It worked.. Turn the hotspot ON in your phone, then look for available network from the infotainment system. It should show up, the select it. It will ask for the password of course. Test it by running one of the trucks infotainment apps like Pandora or Weather Channel.

This definitely worked about a year ago when i tested it. Not sure if something has changed since then. I'll try it again today when I leave work and report back.

Hey. No i tried again today. It sees the hotspot, but keeps saying it cannot connect. It tries using WPA2. I'm not sure if that means anything and I'm not sure how to change it if need be. Very frustrating.

Try a different setting other than WPA2.. if that doesn’t work, contact you cell carrier for further help

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.

      I have an unused GM Authorization code.

      By davester · Posted

      It would be sold as a "kit", lights + auth/programming code.   You can resell the code to someone else, if they just buy the lights, either new or used, and they can then use the code to get them to work on their truck.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Apologies in advance, this is a long post, there's a lot to explain.   A friend had a 2010 Avalanche with a 5.3 (LMG) that blew the head gaskets (amount other problems). He gave me a donor motor out of a 2007 suburban (LC9). I got it all installed, and everything hooked up. Went to go start it, and it stumbled a bit at first and died a couple times, but after trying a few times it sounded like it was running very well. Went out to go get some coolant, and came back the next day.    Upon trying to start it, the truck will crank and fire normally and the RPMs will raise to around 1,200 or 1,500, sounding great, and then the RPMs will decrease and it will just die. Repeat that a dozen or two dozen times, and eventually it will fire and idle beautifully. As soon as you touch the throttle, it will start misfiring and sound like absolute trash. When you let off the throttle it will come down and hunt around shaking and misfiring like crazy. A message will come up on the dash saying reduced engine power.    It is throwing codes for a map sensor circuit voltage High, as well as MAF sensor low frequency. With key on engine off, the map sensor reads about 4.8 volts on the vout pin, which the PCM interprets as about 17.8 PSI, contrasted to the barometer which my scan tool tells me reads about 13.5 PSI. However, once the engine starts and is idling this reading drops to about 5-6 PSI at a stable idle, and varies significantly when the engine is misfiring/ hunting like I said before. I should note that I used the intake and MAP sensor from the LC9 engine. I changed the connector on the 2010 harness to The 2007 connector. The pinouts for the sensors were printed right on the top, and I triple-checked that I put the correct wire into the correct place.   On the other hand, the MAF sensor reads consistently 0.0 g/s regardless of State. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out this last detail. I have tried three different sensors, (all of which should be good, one of which was new), I have verified all the wiring from the sensor going back to the PCM, and have verified that the readings at the PCM are the same readings as at the sensor itself. The intake air temperature sensor is also functioning as normal. I verified all the voltages and grounds etc, and everything is as it should be. I don't have an oscilloscope to verify, but I probed with my multimeter (Klein mm720) on frequency Mode, and it reads that on initial cranking, the maf is producing between 3000 and 7000 HZ, and as soon as the engine fires that falls off to below, 1000, and if the engine continues to run, it will produce somewhat erratic readings between 5 and 100-200 HZ. It does increase notably when the engine is revved despite the misfirings. As I said before, I have verified all of the wires going to the PCM, and I have tried multiple known good sensors. I've tested all the pins and voltages from the sensor and verified them against the manual that they are what they should be. I tested all the wiring for both ohms and voltage drop, and everything tested fine. Like I said I tested at the sensor as well as right at the PCM, everything checked out.   The only other thing of note at least I think is the fact that the engine originally in the truck had VVT, but the engine I put in, the lc9, does not have VVT. I modified the cam sensor plug to work. I reference the wiring diagrams and double-checked that I modified the harness correctly to adapt it. There is obviously a code for the VVT solenoid, but I don't think that's the cause of my problems, and this friend will probably have the PCM sent off to tune out the codes at some point.   I'm writing this for my bed so I don't recall the exact codes, but I'll update the post tomorrow morning with the exact codes. And ideas or feedback much appreciated.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.
