Adding Navigation to existing '19 hub?

Accessory catalog for the '20 just added a Nav upgrade for existing hubs. Have to check with the dealer if it is backward compatible with the '19s with 8" screen radio. Looks like a simple SD card that plugs into the existing SD slot on the USB hub under the lid in the center console. Currently using the SD slot for music but could easily transfer it to a flash drive and use the SD slot for the maps. If compatible likely also requires a dealer programming for an hour labor.

 

Only thing that concerns me is the active subscription note.....a deal breaker if I have to pay for 4g to make the system work, but no problem if only subscription is necessary for updates and current traffic info. Anyone familiar with how this operates?

It is compatible with the 2019s as long as you have the Infotainment Plus system (Comes with Convenience II, which IIRC from the other thread, you have?).

 

It involves a service visit to flash the cluster and infotainment, plus the SD card.

 

It works without the subscription - you just won't get the other information.

 

I keep going back and forth on adding it, myself. I hate Waze but I use it because of the Police and Traffic alerts - but I would really like to have the speed limit in the cluster. I already pay for 4g, so that is a bonus for me.

The option to add navigation to the midlevel infotainment isn’t new for 2020, but that particular card/part number is. I believe they changed some things in the infotainment system for the 2020MY, so that isn’t too surprising. Photos of the new infotainment show album cover images displayed, and the option to pause and rewind live radio.

 

Anyway, back to the nav cards. The one for the 2019 is linked below. It will work in any truck that has IOS infotainment. If you have the card reader, you have it:

You don’t need a subscription to maintain the functionality of it. The subscription is just for traffic updates and other silly things like local gas prices. I haven’t had a subscription since my trial lapsed in January and I still use the nav a lot and it works great.

Short version is if you have the IOS radio you have the ability to upgrade to Navigation :)

Yeah. Thomcat, your RST likely does NOT have the IOS radio. Mine doesn't, and it's pretty much fully loaded. 

 

So you would have to order the SIM card, then go to the dealer to have them update the Infotainment to IOS. 


There was a guy on the forum here from Dallas who said he was able to do the radio upgrade himself, but I can't remember who that was now?

It has IOS if it has the SD card reader, and so should yours.

 

IOR - base infotainment - no SD reader - not upgradable - no place to put the map card

IOS - midlevel - has SD reader - upgradable to nav with the card linked above

IOT - same as IOS, but with nav factory installed

Right. So the dealer has to upgrade IOS to IOT, correct? 

 

I misunderstood, Thomcat. Your RST likely DOES have the IOS radio (mine does), but I think it needs to be dealer upgraded to IOT.

Correct. You need the card they sell and then the dealer to program it. No hardware difference between IOS and IOT. Just the nav software.

Thanks......on my way to the dealer to confirm labnor charge and capability for flashing

$600 for an SD card and 30 min of tech work. Just that, too. ??‍♂️

Feeling good. Total $495 + tax out the door....no matter how long it takes to program, exactly what the factory option cost which I would have taken had they offered it.

Dealer confirmed appointment and Parts Department punched in my VIN and confirmed it is compatible with my radio head

.

Thanks to all for the info, especially ReeltoReel for the part number which dealer could not locate, but when part number was pouched in confirmed compatible with my VIN.

 

I also like the speed sign in the main cluster.....pulls the speed limits and locations off the Nav maps.......have it in my Traverse with the factory Nav, but no active 4 g subscription which is likely used only for updates............proof is that it is still reading the recently changed old location for speed changeover and older speed limits on Rte 70 heading toward Baltimore.

Ok, I have IOR in my truck, so right now i cannot do the NAV upgrade, what if i install the IOS/IOT SD card reader. Could i then purchase/install the NAV upgrade?

 

Also is the NAV using GPS or Cellular networks? If it uses GPS i might try it. if its cellular then nope my phone already sucks.

There is a hardware difference. IOT has additional memory over IOS. That memory is for applications and other data, however Nav will work with either.

'19 Upgrade kit specifically mentions IOS radio which is in the Convenience II pack option 8" HD color touchscreen with voice recognition and SD card reader, stock (IOR) radio uses different hardware other than the SD card reader, don't believe it has voice recognition for hands free command of audio controls, phone system, climate controls and upgrade to Nav voice commands.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
