Perfect... thanks!

I have an Sierra SLE with the IOR system. Anyone know what the speaker sizes are? Does a speaker upgrade make a noticeable difference using the stock head unit?

Best place I've always found to use for this is crutchfield.com, plug your car info in and they will show you what fits where.

I have a new 2020 GMC Sierra Denali and want to install a CD player. I tried my first one and they said it would not work with there technology. They did say I needed one with IOT tech. Now I can't locate one online that says it will work. Anyone know where i can purchase one?

Thanks

Instead of spending to add a cd to your truck, find (or purchase) a way to copy your cd music to a usb,

You will be able to fit many many cd's on a single USB stick.  Something like 10 music hours per GB if you use the mp3 format.

(Of course if the collection is large enough you might use more than one)

 

If your computer has a cd player and a usb port, you just need to decide which software to use. 

 

If your phone has enough storage you could use it to carry the music files.

 

Online version of the Infotainment guide can be downloaded from GM here:

 https://my.gmc.com/content/dam/gmownercenter/gmna/dynamic/manuals/2020/gmc/multimodel/2020-gmc-infotainment-guide-3.0.pdf

 

It has a bunch of information about operating the radio when playing from a usb, file types that it will play, usb formatting that is acceptable etc etc.

Thanks for the input. I mainly use it to listen to books which I had been getting from the library. They do offer downloads I will look into it.

Thanks again

There is an app called "Libby" that you can get on your phone.  You put in your library card details into the app and you can check out audio books from your local library digitally into your phone.  It is all free and most libraries support it.  Once you start using it, its so much nicer than having to keep up with physical media.

You should be able to add SiriusXM to your radio but navigation you can not.

crutchfield has a kit to install both to the IOR.. But there are much better sources of music and navigation thru android auto.. Such as  i prefer Amazon music and waze....

i went from IOR ( no sirius) to IOS and back to IOR ( with sirius)

 

i believe its in the sharkfin from what i gathered before on first truck

 

but yeah i didnt care too much about IOS becasue of android auto........i still do miss the IOS though as it had a couple other functions I liked that the IOR doesnt have but oh well.....

 

wish GM just did their infotainment like Ram does where you can just pay for the upgrade and all the systems are the same no matter the trim.....8.4 is same as well as 8.4 w/nav....
