GM is releasing wireless Android Auto and CarPlay:

Not sure what the HMI version will be, so I am calling it 3.5.  There is a thread rolling around - with an unfulfilled vendor promise - of going from 2.5 to 3.0.  Though an upgrade, it isn't the upgrade going to wireless AA/CP will be.  This kind of upgrade might actually make the wireless charger useful!

 

Any vendors in the beginning stages of doing this?  I'm willing to spend some money on this upgrade.

This really is a “Great time to get a T1 truck!” type of situation. We’ve done work retrofitting an entire 3.0 system into a Camaro and while we got it all working it was an export vehicle so it had some facets that made it easier for numerous things (no onstar to contend with etc). This mainly was "easier" as it was a 2017 going to the 2019 up level 3.0 and  being it was the same generation of vehicle parts that fit etc were available whereas K2 to T1 doesn't have that luxury sadly. I would never go as far as to say it’s impossible but it definitely tips the “whats your time, sanity and money worth” scale.

If you want to discuss specifics drop us a line from the website and we can go over all the modules and wiring that will need to be changed/added etc.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
