What was your total cost?
We do a 2.5 kit for $550 shipped (io5) or programming for $100 if you supply parts [emoji2935]

Hey guys,   Something very exciting to share with you. A lot of people have been interested on whether or not this 2.5-3.0 HMI retrofit would even be possible in our older generation of truc

Not quite there yet but keep your eyes peeled to this thread and I'll release details when we have them.

This is really exciting. Was hoping this would be an option for these trucks one day and seems like it may be coming sooner than expected. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, and to spare me a lot of searching

 

parts required? I believe I need a new brain for the infotainment, but can keep everything else?

 

any advantage to doing it in tandem with the denali cluster upgrade?

 

fyi I only use the mobile site, so if you have any links in your sig, I can’t see them. The admin of this site thought it would be fine to not include a desktop format link for phone users.

Other than the cluster being an AWESOME upgrade you'll retain full steering wheel controls in Android auto and carplay.

In terms of parts you'll need a radio, HMI and USB.

Send me a PM or call our toll free number on the website and we'll get you sorted.

If it is the same HMI we will be able to retrofit it.

Also, thanks everyone for your patience. We've been quite slammed but this is top of mind :) 

Any update on the HMI 3.0 upgrade?  I have a 2015 Denali, and was going to do 2.5 upgrade, but if 3.0 will be an option soon, I'd rather hold out for it.

 

Thanks! :)

ive been told the 2.5 and 3.0 are completely different systems  and cable connections are different, utilizes ethernet maybe?

would need to replace alot of hardware and complicate software. replace alot of pieces in the truck.

tech companies have been working on it, but to integrate the 3.0 and allow everything to function normal would be very expensive...... ive read

Just because something has been retrofitted doesn't mean it doesn't require a lot of aftermarket work. We are currently attempting to come up with the best solution to retain as many factory features as possible. Having a fancy new HMI3 in your K series truck doesn't mean much if there are missing features. 

 

We are doing our best to create the best retrofit we can. I know a lot of you have been asking about this - we are working on it. 

 

We will post an update very soon.

Sorry, i dont mean to step on anyone’s toes, displaying computer info is different then retrofitting it to work with everything in the truck.

i think its pretty important to keep steering controls, seat memory,  remote start, power locks, power windows, and cluster communication with the radio and hmi.

 

sorry, wont comment again, just wanted to explain displaying info on the screen in hmi 3 design isnt what i described.

Thanks,

I am in for the up dates, also if needed I'd volunteer for testing. I am familiar with GM's SPS programing system & GDS2, and use it view or make changes on my own truck, if that matters.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
