2016 Silverado Radio Swap

Hi all,

 

So my work truck is a 2016 Silverado with no CarPlay/nav. My company had a wrecked Silverado that had CarPlay/Nav. I took the radio components from the wrecked on and tried too install into mine but it gave me a “Theft Detected” notification on the screen and had me locked out. I swapped back to the original parts and it’s working fine now.

 

My question is, am I able to get the new components to be comparable with my truck? Ive had someone tell me that a dealer can reset the theft code, can anyone confirm? Just trying to see my options here as I’d love to have CarPlay and everything else. 
 

TYIA!

Did you also swap the controlling unit that is inside the Glovebox compartment?

 

Im pretty sure you need to have that controlling unit reprogramed to work, you can search for 3rd party Audio/Infotainment technicians that so these swaps often

 

I believe he reason it shows "Theft Detected" is because the Controlling unit has to match the Chassis Computer on the truck or so on

Yes, I swapped the box behind the head unit and the one behind the glove boxes. Is reprogramming something a Chevy dealer would be able to do?

I dont know specifically, but it sound like it would be less expensive with an Audio/Infotainment shop

 

Or you can go ask your closest Chevy Dealer

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Average Assembly 4.8%   That's the likelihood of a light duty vehicle reaching 250,000 miles. Link below has the stats on this. Among pickups the 350 series (Dodge)  and higher (450 Ford) are most likely and nothing American built in the lighter trucks pegs a number higher than the overall average.  200K and up is the stomping grounds of Asian vehicles. Toyota Sequoia the leader at 39.1% probability.      https://www.autoweek.com/news/a68886903/vehicles-most-likely-to-last-over-250000-miles/   Likelihood drops dramatically at 100,000 miles of reaching even 150,000 miles. 250,000 is deep in the tail of the curve.    I've been told by the 'experts' that I don't need oils of the caliber I use. My high viscosity is damaging my motors. Ash content it to high and WILL foul plugs and kill cats and O2's. I don't need that much ZDP; my choice is over added and not cutting edge. I change it to often. I baby them to much.    Three Honda's reached 200K + and none used oil. All Red Line motors. All sold to friends or family. One Toyota reached 300K using oil, Pennzoil. Dizzy 300K using QSUD until it cashed the rings at 80K then whatever but often ever since. Did you know this engine still sports the OEM timing chain and is dead silent? Pepper spitting into the wind short of 200K, Red Line and changed often. Uses zero oil. A HPFP and a pinion seal. Still using most parts it left Fort Wayne with. So 50% of my vehicles have gone past 250K and 100% of the last half dozen past 200K. Of these two using "shelf oils' did so using abnormal oil and the four that used a premium boutique oil did not. There might be something there the experts have missed. 🤔

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      It's not that it sits for extended periods. I drive it every couple of weeks. However, I did consider draining the DEF and replacing it.    Don't you get a "Poor quality DEF warning" if its bad?

      Try draining the def and relacing with new if it has been sitting for a long time. Def does go bad after a little while.

      2015 Silverado with HUD retrofit/upgrade.

      By Thestonedone · Posted

      Thanks @Viktorrocks15 if you are still out there.   I followed your instructions and worked out great, went to the scrap yard and procured 2016 escalade cluster, hud, bezel, and switch. Got lucky and found a Camaro in the u-pull with the HUD bezel.   I made my own harness with these diagrams: https://www.gmupfitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/23_Escalade_Escalade_ESV_Electrical_Body_Builder_SM_en_US_2022OCT25.pdf   I used escalade cluster because its the best one that will work IMO. Still need to get it programmed but it looks really good.
