It's not the price that bothers me, but the fact they're swapping out the radio module. According to MVi the module has its own IP address. If you swap the module then the IP address changes, too. This can cause issues with Sirius XM and OnStar. If I had an option to send in my module, let them program it, and they send it back, while I have a "loaner" module, then I'd be much more inclined to do this upgrade. It would cost more to do this with the added shipping, and I'm sure they'd want to add a core charge to ensure they get their loaner module back, and that's all fine with me, but since that's not an option I'm not going to do this. I was going this was going to be feasible for me.

Hence why we go out of the way to state these are properly registered on the GM back end already and are plug and play with absolutely ZERO issues; the only thing you may have to do is transfer your XM radio to the new ID as GM doesn't control that but thats a simple phone call. Also a loaner module wont work in this situation because there was a hardware change.

PS they dont have their own IP address... the onstar VCIM does....

Ordered as well. Any idea how quickly these will ship out?

Thanks for clarifying this up. Apparently I may be misinformed. I was going off of this information from MVi. Hopefully the picture file isn't too large. When I went to upload from my phone the size for medium looked really small.

When you do this work at an OEM level it's not an issue; we do not have that problem. We have a working relationship with them so thats all I'll say they are good peeps!

Would definitely get it for my 2019 Silverado. I know there is hardware missing. Hopefully the module for the 2019s is not much more than the price for the 2020s.

I'll be trying this ~$55 option once available https://9to5google.com/2020/09/07/android-auto-wireless-dongle-project/

We are hoping it will be the same price, same rules would apply IOS/IOT only. We are trying to work around the missing hardware which we think is promising.

Just received the wireless Carplay/Android (Navigation) unit from WAMS! Installed in seconds (removed radio yesterday in preparation, kind of putsy). Fired right up and appears to be working as it should! Just need to transfer my Sirius/XM over to new unit and should be all good!!

Thank you WAMS!!!

Got mine today as well. Everything is installed and working great.

Customer Service at WAMS is great. Had a few questions and they worked through everything with me.

I didn't have navigation before so it's nice to have in addition to wireless Carplay which was the main thing I wanted.

I know it was stated IOS/IOT only but will there be any love for those of us that have the IOR radio in the future? Or are we just SOL?

Or would it be possible yet to by the hardware for an upgrade from IOR?
