Yeah but like... you don’t have to look at or touch the phone screen at all with CarPlay or android auto. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ theres no clutter or extra anything. It’s the same screen as the in dash stuff.

I touch a button on my steering wheel and talk to my phone. Not only to set destination, I can access all my apps on my phone. Pandora, prime, I heart, etc. I only have to be familiar with one device. In my 20 year old truck I just push the button on my iPhone and talk. It’s hands free. I don’t pay to upgrade. Don’t need on star.

I dont think im going to upgrade as I have Gaia for trails and phone for the road if needed. I will however keep my onstar as it saved me while on the salt flats, wife accidently locked the truck with it running called onstar and they unlocked it. Mind you it was cold and starting to rain.

If you only bought the update every couple of years, IMO it could possibly justify the $99 update cost every now and then. But I wouldn't want to pay that every year.

 

But I have another question. I don't have Navi on mine, just that worthless turn but turn setup if subscribed through OnStar so this doesn't really affect me. My motorcycle, though has navigation that is based on the Garmin system. They no longer provide updates and haven't for probably 3 or 4 years. I found a way to use a Garmin with unlimited updates to create a mapset that I can have loaded into my motorcycle's navigation and always have the most current updates at no charge. Is there a way to do something similar with the Chevy and GM navigation systems?

I like the factory nav. I buy it every two years,I like  that it shows that my next turn shows up in my dash.The phone set up you keep guessing do I turn here or not.And when you’re in a  busy city you don’t want to be guessing.

Will the 2021 Navigation update that was bought for a 2017 GMC truck, work in my 2017 Chevy Cruze?

Welcome to the site.

 

No is the answer to your question, the USB drive is VIN specific. Information required when you purchase it.

Why is this even needed anymore with Apple Car Play and Android Auto with the myriad of navigation apps constantly updated for, relatively, free?

I got the 2021 update. No big UI changes that I can tell. It now finds the new Chick-fil-a in my neighborhood. And a Subway in Detroit according to the install directions 🙂 

I like the built in Nav because on long road trips, I am not organized enough, or have enough foresight, to remember to download the right set of maps for when I am not in cell range (often enough). I also like it for the quick direction, when I don't want to get my phone out of my pocket and plug into the USB. Maybe with wireless Android Auto, I will be 100% phone maps, but for now, I use both.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
