Nav Upgrade

[USNRet]

My '19 RST didn't have Nav so I purchased the software from shop chevy and called my dealer today...they wanted 2 hrs /$320 to activate but the "service manager" had never heard this request and had to ask a tech. Anyone had a dealer do the activation? P/N 84531832

Does your RST have the sd card slot?

 I purchased the Navi SD card on my own online.. dealer programmed for FREE.  Small town dealers are the best..

Drove down to the only other one in town and got the same 2 hr. response. I was also told that my GM rewards were not any good as the program was cancelled months ago.

LOL that’s a convenient lie, ain’t it?

Sales manager hooked me up. Appt next Friday for the complimentary oil change, rotation and Nav upgrade.

 

Be aware though, if you buy the card, it will be a two hour labor for both units to be programed and the phone call to GM...cut your best deal.

Wondering what ya mean by "both units to be programmed" I was under the impression insert the sd card and dealer programs the radio/nav and your done in under an hour.

Hey shipmate, the ECM and Radio both have to be programmed. I was told that the data transfer can be slow and then the wait time on the phone (pay them to be on hold and drink coffee)

Got it thanks.

Wait.  Did you not have to have the authorization code for it?

I purchased the chip from here - https://www.shopchevyparts.com/electronics/2019-silverado-1500-navigation-system-conversion-kit-navigation-radio-upgrade/84531832-p-92300645.html

OEM -  came with all the factory codes, serial numbers, etc.

 

I told my dealer the price of the chip and they told me they can't get it for that cheap... so I got it online and they programmed in the truck for FREE
