Trying to force Android .apks into the infotainment system to allow the use of 3rd party apps.  There has to be a way to boot into the recovery console as this is an Android OS.  If there is a way to access using an SSH terminal that would be helpful as well.  If anyone has any info on how to boot into the recovery console, please post.  I'm not holding my breath on this one but it's worth a try...

I have found that if you go to settings and then update and then check version info it shows the version info and if you repeatedly tap on the file name it will allow you to enter development mode. one it says developermode enabled you can go back to the settings page and you will see developer mode and there is a bunch of options in there. not sure if you can enable something in there but i did see USB debugging and that may be a way in.

Getting into developer mode worked!  I should be able to enable USB Debugging and install Andriod APKs using "Pure APK Installer".  I'll let you know how it goes.  Thanks for the advice!

using ADB from the android sdk  "adb devices -l" shows the device, but when you try to get a shell it says you need to use the "GMAuth tool" to get a secure connection. i assume this means you need to get a private key from gm as a registered developer.

 

my only other thought is to try and enter recovery mode via some button combo, and manually add a line to the file " /data/misc/adb/adb_keys " corresponding to the public key in your local cert at " C:\Users\<my profile>\.android\adbkey.pub " assuming windows.

if someone can figure out that button combo for recovery mode, ill work out the other details and post.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
