Hi all,  I have a 2019 Texas edition, 2wd, love it.  I just was out of town and my rental was a 2020 Suburban, LT.  It had the posted speed limit next to the digital read out of your actual speed.  Just curious if this is only in a 2020 and if anyone has it in their trucks?  It’s a cool feature and I I'm  sure it’s  based on your GPS location but I haven’t had my truck long enough (2 weeks) to know if this was only a 2020 option, only for Tahoe’s or Suburbans?    

 

Thanks!

My 19 LTZ has it as did my 16 Yukon. I thought it was pretty standard in later GM vehicles. Did you scroll through the driver info center (center screen) to see if you can enable it there?  I believe that is where I turned it on.

Nav.  Its on vehicles with nav radio.  Started in 2015 or 2016 if I recall.  If you have the IOS radio in your truck, you can get the factory nav upgrade.  $450 SD card that installs nav to your truck.

Your LT radio cannot be upgraded to have nav - which is what puts the speed limit sign in the dash display - unless you have Convenience II package. 
 

If you have an HD back up camera, you can upgrade the infotainment system to have the nav.

Thanks everyone!  My last 3 Silverado's didn't have it so I assumed it was something new for 2020.  Things to research in the future...

I have a 2021 Tahoe LT with Signature Package. I cannot figure out how to display the speed limit. Any ideas? I do not see any nav. Any way you can do it with google maps or Apple Maps?

 

Very annoying. I took the feature for granted in my 2015 Sierra and honestly did not even think it was anything but standard on a vehicle that costs $60+.

On most roads Apple Maps displays the speed limit in CarPlay.

 

Check to make sure it is enabled on your phone.

Settings>Maps>Driving>Speed Limit "on". You can also turn on compass.

 

Of course it displays on the infotainment screen, not the DIC.

There's some incomplete or inaccurate info in this thread.  I'm going to try to clear that up. 

 

If you have the IOS radio (8" color screen) you can add factory navigation.  I did it through MVi.

 

However, adding factory navigation won't automatically give you the speed limit on your DIC.  If you have the cluster with 4 actual gauges in the top for fuel, oil pressure, battery, etc then the speed limit cannot be displayed on the screen.  You'd need to get the digital cluster from the LTZ and High Country trucks.  Iirc, WAMS can help you with that.

 

FYI, telling us it's a Texas Edition does not help us know how to advise you.  Texas Edition is available on a couple trim levels.  So is All Star.  We need to know if it's a LT, RST, Custon, LTZ, etc.

Yes, IOS can upgrade only through the aftermarket now.  GM dropped the SD card kit about a year ago.

 

The speed limit indicator.  I did have the opportunity to install one in an RST that had IOS and Conv II.  The GM kit did allow for the speed limit function to operate.  When I programmed the truck they had me do the radio and the IPC.  You ended up with a white square next to the vehicle speed to indicate posted speed limit. 

 

Here's a shot of a 2020 Colorado with factory IOT nav. Colorado also uses the 3.0 generation radios IOR/IOS/IOT.  Its quite possible that the aftermarket route doesn't allow this as the IPC isn't reprogrammed like the GM kit made you do.

Do you have a pic of that cluster with the gauges above the screen shown?  I'm not familiar with the Colorado and if it has 2 different clusters like the Sierra/Silverado.

 

With that said, I don't have 100% confidence in GM factory navigation, but I think it's better than Android Auto/Apple Carplay.  I had less than satisfactory experience with the latter.  The street I live on has been around for over 50 years (based on age of home).  If I use factory navigation to get me home, and fail to turn it off once I know where I'm at, I'll pull into my street and get an audible notification that I'm no longer driving on a designated road.  This is ironic since it recognizes my address.  My street has a different name from the street I turn off to get onto it.

Yes that's the Colorado cluster.  They have the same exact DIC display for IOS and IOT that the Silverado does.  Colorado doesn't have a digital cluster like Silverado however, just low level or up level DIC versions with analog gauges.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
