I have found several options to upgrade the OEM (non Bose) system to add Nav....Has anyone had success in this?  Found the control unit and SD cards from different vendors....just don't want to invest if this is a headache waiting to happen!

Might be easier for u to just replace with aftermarket. Be cheaper. I have a bose system and installed a pioneer headunit. Gave me android auto, screen mirror, nav and rear.seat entertainment. Got the radio for 500. Needed a few other bits. All in all 900

For starters, can't do it from GM, they discontinued the SD card upgrade. 

 

You MUST verify what radio you have first.  If you have the IOR 8 inch radio, there is no nav upgrade.  You MUST have IOS radio to do it.  IOS is standard on an LTZ, and optional on LT and RST.  Its part of the Convenience II package.  Easiest identifier is the vehicle build sheet or, if you have the power sliding rear window on an LT or RST.  If you have the window, you should have IOS radio.    

 

This place would be your best bet:  https://www.gm-navigation.com/shop/2019-chevy-silverado-factory-navigation-system/

 

These guys are good too:  https://www.infotainment.com/products/2019-2020-chevrolet-silverado-mylink-iou-gps-navigation-hd-radio-upgrade

 

These two options involve no aftermarket splicing/swapping/headaches.

Wonder why GM dropped the SD card upgrade? I did it three months ago and it works very well.

This seemed to be the easiest but doesn't show on their website anymore. It was there probably 2 weeks ago. Emailed them and they said only doing 2020 Silverados right now, were having problems with other years. $599 if you have SD card reader in center console, $699 if you need new usb / card reader hub.

I've noticed at minute 4:48 that "OnStar Connected Navigation" is showing.  Is this to be used only with OnStar?

I am wanting to do this also, I believe the sd card could be purchased on eBay but not sure If it’s plug and play. Anyone done this themselves?

I don't believe so. There is an option to get directions from an Onstar advisor but since this mentions the SD map card needs to be inserted in the SD slot in the center console I believe that is where the map info comes from. I still haven't decided which way to go. I tried an address the other day in my 2017 Silverado and the business had since moved so new location wasn't found, my phone showed new address. Android auto and Apple Carplay will always have latest map info since it comes from your phone.

I have some good news and bad news about the GM nav upgrade for ios radios.

The good news: I found a dealership with 3 of the cards in stock. GM Part Number 84489271. They originally bought them for a commercial client with 3 WT trucks, but found out they wouldn't work due to the trucks having ior radios.

The bad news: I asked this dealer to investigate whether this could be installed on my truck. They called GM. GM has abandoned the program for the dealership techs to do the reprogramming upgrade after the cards are installed. Upgrading is not possible through GM. Only viable solution now is to go aftermarket.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By CamGTP · Posted

      I have an Autel, works great for what it is. Can't do some specific things because you need say the GM tool, VCDS for Audi/Volkswagon and others of course. But those times are few and far between for me.   The other tool I'd like to try one day is the new Topdon scan tools. Seen several video's on them and many youtube people review them.    I've never subscribed for updates or payed to do that stuff on my Autel, so I'm sure I'm missing out on some of the updates but I'm fine with that for now.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.
