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?

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      No, not yet. Hoping I'll have something a little more definitive in the next day or 2. They seemed to be very confident they can order it. I do have some understanding of the whole allocations and restraints stuff so we'll see.   I think this is what I'm looking for.   3000 ORDER ACCEPTED BY PRODUCTION CONTROL

      Then you haven't read your book. It also says check every 400 miles.   If you need to add multiple quarts in that distance then reading the stick isn't the issue. Put the two together and it will make sense. Read it all.

      Weird drivability problem

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Following up on my topic, I put an O2 sensor in it which seems to have got rid of all the b2s1 codes (I ended up having multiple codes). Next I’ll try to figure out the P0011 but I might focus on exhaust manifolds first, they’re getting pretty rusty. I’m hoping this thread will help someone in the future.

      My expectations are a bit higher.    No faded paint or dry rotted plastic/rubber. I use a dressing and a ceramic sealant. No hazy headlights.  No door dings. Small dent in the front bumper. All rock chips repaired. No brush scratches. No windshield chips. No fender benders. Limit damage due to a proactive plan the included ceramics and PPF and prompt attention to any exterior issue. NO RUST. Stays out of the salt and had the rear wheel wells Line-X coated as well as the bed which has a bed rubber and has been under cover since before I bought it. Washed and detailed regularly. Rex chewed up the tow button, got whacked and the button replaced the same week. He's leaned his lesson. If I can train a dog the kids are easier.    All suspension is original save the King Shocks I installed very early on. 50 years ago dad told me a good shock will keep the screws in the dash tight and the front end mint. He was right. Everything within new spec yet, tight and aligned well several times. Coolant system is OEM save the modifications I made early on. Not a single leak anywhere on this machine. (Did repair an intake leak on #4 during the HPFP replacement.) The injectors I replaced didn't need to be. They checked out great. One of those, while I'm in there with the manifold off and the fuel rail apart things.  Not a stain or abrasion one to the upholstery. Have kept is covered since new. Never had a carpet, it's a work truck but the carpet squared I laid on the floor have keep the factory rubber liner MINT. Ceramic wind tint helps preserve the interior.    Original BRAKES with 60%+ left of the pads and rotors mic excellent. We just did a full preventative brake service. Disassembly, clean inspect including measurements, lube, Dot 4 power flush including ABS system.    OEM battery. OEM vacuum pump. In fact the only things not OEM are a pinion seal the high side pump and injectors and a small plastic shield around the starter. All hoses/belts etc.. are still in service and doing well. Original tires lasted 125K and had I known some additional details would have made it to 150K with legal tread. (Date out is six years, not 5 and Continental says they are good for 10 so I pulled the trigger to early)   I never let my children or grandchildren run the show. Feet on the floor and hands in your lap. Dog gets a pass.    A truck is a machine the gives you back whatever your willing to put into it. Same as a computer or a butter knife. I use a shovel but I scrap it, hose it off and oil it when I'm done with it. My original spade I've had 60 years.      Set the bar higher...you spend less money. No, before you ask, I have spent a fraction of the cost of a new truck in my entire maintenance program including disposables, filters/fluids etc.
