I installed the WAMS wireless android/car play radio on my truck today.  It only took me 20 minutes but I am pretty good with connectors.  The radio also comes with SD card for navigation.  I plugged radio in, put my email in for onstar and everything was ready to go.  I gained wireless car play and android auto.  I now have factory navigation now.  I retrofitted an oem wireless charger on my truck so it is really nice to just set my phone down and android auto automatically connects, no more wire.  I also retrofitted 360 cameras on my truck also with help of WAMS.  With this radio upgrade I gained the LTZ/HC  trailer app that (with my 360 upgrade) allows me to enter trailer dimensions for invisible trailer, jack knife warning and trailer blind spot warning.  This is truly smooth oem function.  WAMS is providing a brand new $800 radio (same that is in 2021 trucks) and a $300 sd card.  I think this is a great value for the programming and equipment you get, especially considering people are paying $600 for GPS only upgrade which is basically just a SD card.  Thank you WAMS for offering these very cool OEM solutions.

I am a new Silverado owner, '21 Trail Boss.  I have the IOS option however the HD radio was omitted due to the chip shortage.  In reading this comment, does the $800 option include the actual radio that would provide both HD Radio and Navigation that would replace the physical radio in my truck or only the control module that is under the glove box?

 

Also, when adding navigation, can the Trail Boss Dash Cluster show the MPH or does that require the High Country cluster?

 

Apologies if this is a simple question and I am misreading here.

 

Thanks!

Correct. We put one in our new 22 to get HD radio back as well, the base cluster may be able to show MPH but the high country for sure does obviously.

I did the navigation upgrade on my Trail Boss LT through MVI.  I don't get the speed limit in the dash.  However, GM changed the route guidance in the non-factory navigation trucks to something called Chevrolet Maps+.  It's a navigation system that does put the speed limit on your radio screen.  Both the posted limit and the speed you're traveling.  I have found many times the posted speed limit was incorrect, and many addresses that have been around for decades that the Maps+ didn't recognize.  I prefer the GM factory navigation system, especially since I have upgraded my OnStar subscription to maximize the benefits of the navigation system.  I don't have the issues Chevrolet Maps+ does, even though I'm not seeing the speed limit in the DIC.  If Chevrolet Maps+ is any indication, the speed limit info isn't always correct, and that's not an excuse that'll work with a judge.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?
