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.

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.

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.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
