Has anyone seen or heard if we can take the modules from a 2021 gmc Tahoe or Sierra and put in our 2020’s to get the wireless CarPlay? I just picked my new Denali up a month ago and got it back last Monday from ceramic coating absolutely love the truck but definitely need wireless CarPlay.

Well I tried the Carplay2air dongle and it works great! So far no issues hooks up automatically every time. Using the usb in the console so it’s hidden.

That’s good to know. I emailed them and they replied that it works for the 2019 models but they weren’t sure if it worked for the 2020’s.

I have a carplay2air unit that I used on my old truck with a Kenwood aftermarket head unit. It worked fine. I have tried to get it to work on my 2020 3500HD and it gets to the point where it switches from bluetooth to wifi and quickly drops the connection. I turned off the wifi hotspot in the truck but that doesn't seem to help.  Did you have to do anything special to get it to stay connected?

No nothing that I know of. Before plugging it in I did go into the trucks setting to forget my phone ( bluetooth) then shut the truck off then started it and plugged in the dongle and then went to Bluetooth on my phone to connect to the dongle and it worked. I didn’t update to the latest firmware as I'm worried it won’t work if I do.

I tried connecting Android auto thru the Googe Play Services hack on Youtube. It did not connect. Looks like I'm waiting for someone to figure out how the 2021's connect and what all needs to be done. Thanks.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      Navigating senior years.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
