Navigation update

[ildarcheg]

Hi guys,

 

Recently got GMC Yukon Denali 2017 and was thinking of updating Navigation (mostly to get latest Speed limits). I started to google it and mostly got suspicious websites that are offering some kind of DVD disk for $150. Do I have to by this disk in order to update my navigations?

 

Thanks!

That is my understanding after researching it myself.  Even then, I'm not sure what dates the maps are from.  I decided just to use google maps through the carplay.

This is GM's official page for it:  https://gmnavdisc.navigation.com/home/en_US/GMNA/USD

 

You will need your VIN number upon ordering.  Depending on the vehicle, its either an SD card, a USB drive or a CD.

Does it have android auto or carplay? I never use my factory nav on the 18, as google maps/waze on my phone is 10X better...

Currently $99 for those interested.

Thanks Mike. Anyone know when the new update comes out? Might spring for the 2020 version, but if the 2021 version comes out in like October, I'd rather wait for that one, even at full price.

My update arrived and took about an hour to complete the update with the car running.  Definitely added new map portions and POI's but still not as easy as my phone since you have to use the voice search function while driving.  Mine was original to the 2015 maps so I had a few years of data missing which is why I updated.

Can this update be applied to vehicles that do not have factory maps?

Such as when I click "NAV" I simply get a compass rather than a map?

I always use android auto with google maps anyways but I am curious.  I was previously told that it was a "different system" but I am skeptical of that.

No, it is just an update to the factory system if it is already there.

What is missing if it isn't present?  Is it a module of some sort or the programming?

 

I understand the way the system in my truck will work is strictly through onstar, which I am not subscribed too, otherwise you just get a large compass on the screen when selecting navigation.  I am also just curious as I use Android Auto for my navigation which works great otherwise.

Wife does not have OnStar in her 2016 Tahoe and the factory Nav works just fine, so don't think it is needed. These are the RPO codes you would look for to see what you actually have in your rig.

Think the biggest problem, is you have the IO5 HMI module and the not the IO6 which includes all of the bells and whistles.

I have IO5 in the RPO code build list.

You need the IO6 to have the factory Nav present. Do not think it is all that expensive to swap your 2.0 HMI to the 2.5 version (IO6) to have everything that was offered with it.

Got it.  I assume that's the entire HMI module with the fan, behind the glove box-ish?

It's not a big deal, I was just curious.  Nothing wrong with Android Auto, plus the maps are always up to date.  However, if all I needed was a $100 software upgrade, well then that could have changed the equation (purely for S&Gs.)
