Navigation Upgrade Info

Just an FYI for anyone thinking about doing the navigation upgrade -

 

I just had mine done this morning. I have a 2019. Not sure if anyone noticed, but they took the nav upgrade kit off the accessories site for the 2019 model. It is however available for the 2020 model, part number 84489271. I can confirm that the 2020 part does work on the 2019. The dealer tried to say it might not work, but it did.

 

Also, originally the dealer tried to say this could take up to 3 hours, since waiting for downloads from GM can take forever. Don't be afraid to be pushy. I pushed back and called GM myself. GM stated there is absolutely no way you should be charged more than .5 hours of labor. When I confronted the dealer about that (ahead of time) and told them I'm not paying for someone to sit back and watch a progress bar - they complained about it but finally agreed after I told them I had called GM directly.

 

In the end I was only charged .5 hours of labor, $64 dollars and change to program it.

 

Also FYI in case you didn't see all GM accessories (minus the running boards) are 20% off online only from now till 12/4/2019.

While I agree, as long as the vehicle is sitting I. Someone’s bay, it’s also preventing another vehicle from being worked on. Glad they agreed to .5. Mine took about 30 mins to flash

That's actually a great point I never thought about - LOL. Now I feel like a jerk.

I wouldn't, your point was valid, if they are charging you for 3 hours of labor, it makes no difference if it is taking up a bay sitting idle in the stall. It is making money sitting there.

Now if the dealer is proactive, and somewhat ambitious, they would push your truck out into the holding yard while it was downloading/installing and bring in a new car, so they could "double dip" the tech's time.

Yes, but each tech typically has only one pc with MDI so that would be taken up by the truck downloading the software. I agree there’s other ways about it, but sometimes it just is what it is

Did they flash your cluster also? If they didn't then the speed limit and street names won't show in the cluster.  I added nav to my 19 a year ago when I got it. You also have to get OnStar to add connected nav to the account IF you want Online search and traffic info because it is NOT provided through SAT radio anymore.  The Nav upgrade is nice.  What it consists of is an SD card with the maps and a Authorization code.  The code  allows them to add the NAV calibration to the official build of your truck so that in the future if you were to ever have a part replaced or updated the calibrations all point to the truck having navigation. I love it. The online search is actually better than googles for me. I test it time to time. They just added a new KFC where I am and wanted to see if it was found. Google maps didn't and the built in nav DID.  I also can now send destinations straight to my truck nav from my phone app. 

 

The nav upgrade is great since its not an option for LT trims. Its also not to badly priced. I did the programming myself.  The dealers make it seem like a big deal because they just aren't familiar with it. The time is accurate at half hour. That includes the cluster  I think they did a fantastic job with this nav system. It is really great in my opinion.  Only draw back is the SD card for the Maps.

I tried to order the  84489271 navigation upgrade for the IOS radio on a new 2020 GMC Sierra.

The local dealer said it was discontinued and I ordered one from a online gm parts store on 04/23/2020

and said it would take 10 days, but just got an email today that the order was canceled today 05/04/2020.

 

Question: Where can I get one?

Why did they discontinue this upgrade, It just consists of a SD Card and a pamphlet .

Did the software get hacked?

Is it going to be available in the future?

That's odd, I was planning to order that next month.  I wonder if they are just changing part numbers

Hello guys,

 

   I purchased the NAV upgrade in December, and just had the dealer perform the update this afternoon.  The speed limit sign appears in the cluster (blank), but when I press "NAV" it shows an error screen.  Dealer said it should fully work in 24-48 hours.  Does this sound correct?

    • Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood. 
    • This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck
    • It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
    • So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
