Just for everyone's info, I ordered mine about ten days ago. 

 

It turns out if you have the upgraded radio (IOS), but you do not have BOSE, this is not common. They emailed me and asked permission to test a new build of the software on my module and see if it works. If it does not work, they will refund part of the cost and  will send another unit that definitely will add carplay, but not NAV. I am hopeful the first option works as I probably would not have paid that much just for the wireless carplay, I don't think the pricing is unfair I just talked myself into it by justifying the cost because of the NAV upgrade. The dealer charges $400 for a nav upgrade. 

 

Another thing is the company doesn't really provide a phone number for customer service and emails go to a general inbox. It is very difficult to get updates on your shipping time. They do provide generic info on how long to expect processing to take for their different types of products... but this kit doesn't really fall easily into any of the categories. You do get a brand new module, but it is also custom programmed for your build via your VIN. 

 

I am really hoping it just works. But all in all the company seems pretty legit, just wish their communication was better. 

 

 

Have you received your yet? I know it takes some time, just trying to figure out what real lead time is.

Installed the new module from WAMS in my 2020 HC.   If you have the 20 series truck and would really like to have 2021 factory wireless CarPlay this is hands down the right way to do it.  There appear

Oh this is awesome thank you for that!!! Sadly likely not. The way GM handles branded titles wrecked units will likely be blacklisted from the GM back end and we wont sell half a solution not

Yes. I would say 1-2 weeks. Mine had issues but I knew that it possibly would as my original post says. The wireless carplay and gm nav worked really great. Very fast and smooth. But it emded up incompatible with my speaker set so I had no sound in nav carplay or radio lol. They asked if I minded trying another software build so that hopefully people with my same option list will have an easier time in the future so I agreed. We will see how it comes back.

How did your install go and where did you mount your antenna?

I installed mine this evening (2019) and had a couple of hiccups.

1. There is a orange round connector on my old one that won't fit on any terminals of the new one, maybe need a adaptor.

2. My cameras don't work at all, maybe its the one cable I cannot connect ?

3. Having trouble getting my Sirius radio to register, maybe a problem with Sirius online activation/xfer service. Will call them tomorrow.

Install was not too bad, getting all the connectors off is a real pain, it takes patience and took the longest of the install.

Wireless car play works GREAT!

Everything else works good. Just need my cameras back. I will dig into that tomorrow.

My install time took about 2.5 hrs, most of that time was patience with the connectors.

Orange is your camera input it’s the same connector on the new one as it is on the old one so unless you pulled the connector completely off the old unit somehow it will plug in. Don’t mess with the xm until you check the subscription status on the new one ;)

Top is new unit bottom is old 2019 style unit. Orange connector is same between both (upper left on new unit just clocked 90 degrees CCW) below that is the WIFI Antenna port. These connectors are almost a break away style where the housing can come off IN the truck side connector which you'll have to remove from that connector. 90% of the time they come off clean and you can simply press it back onto the old unit. If you run into any issues please contact us directly as we could have gotten you this info much sooner :)

LOL! I didnt even look at the time stamp just saw it pop up on my phone! Look nothing to be embarrassed about. It's happened to me on other applications that use the same connector. The good news is 90% of the time you just push it back onto the old unit and the other 10% of the time you put a small dot of super glue on the back side then push it onto the unit :) I swear they do that on purpose I have no idea why but FAKRA connectors have been that way as long as I can remember SUPER common on the GPS plug on the GM HMI's.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
