Factory to factory radio swap

[Fiestafrog]

I’m sure this has been posted somewhere but I can’t seem to find exactly what I need to answer my question. 
 

I have a 2016 Silverado that came with the LT small 4 inch screen for the radio and I picked up a nice bigger screen factory from a 2018. Everything fits perfect and the radio works but there is no display and I haven’t even attempted to hook up the DVD player. I don’t have controls on the wheel. Do I need an adapter or something to make the new radio jive?

If that's an 8" screen which it looks like it is, you need an HMI module. And programming a dealer cannot do.

Your saying it’s not going to work?

If it is an IO5 or IO6 radio, you need an HMI module and programming. Three pieces, radio, screen and hmi mod. Plus cabling. You can send the radio and hmi out to get programmed. It's just that dealers are unable to do it. Search this site. There are lots of discussions on this topic. Including contact info for programming.

Ok, I’ll keep searching this sit. If anyone comes across something let me know. Thank you!

Were you able to locate the module? From what I saw and talking to the dealer, there is 3 pieces. Screen unit which you have that is pictured, the receiver, and the disc player. Dealer buys from 3rd party and requires a core. Roughly all 3 cost $1k..  I have a 2015 and I would like to do the same thing.

Has anyone had any luck with this? I have a 2016 2500HD (WT Model) with the tiny radio. Bought a used screen (8” display oem). Put it in and only have radio audio, screen is black. Thanks in advance for any advice.
