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....

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. 904fd4a762255b39a6c26f225a92f48f.jpg

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.

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?

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
