@GTPprix I still haven't received the v155 OTA for the wireless upgrade I purchased from you in January. Any suggestions? Will the dealership update it for me since it didn't come with my truck? The "cutting out" issue is getting pretty annoying.

OTA pushes are done in batches to minimize any impact if there was an issue. These pushes can take months unfortunately and they just started OTA'ing this one recently. That being said we are now supplying this to our customers directly if they dont want to wait simply drop us a line using the Contact US page on the site include your order number and we'll get you setup!

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

Just an FYI for any of you that want the kit for BASE audio we have a couple available after filling backorders. These units got decontented in production due to availability so they are pretty rare right now :)

Hey guys - I saw someone ask about the OTA update, was wondering when it would arrive. Popped up last weekend for me(Western NY), took about 10 mins.  I think this is the second OTA update since I installed new unit, no issues at all.

Wireless CarPlay continues to work flawlessly and one of the favorite upgrades I've done. Thanks WAMS

Some stuff that I'm also enjoying using wireless CarPlay.

Alexa app - uses the trucks hotspot so now I can run my smart home from anywhere without touching my phone, music etc.    You can pick the steering wheel button as the wake for Alexa so thats pretty cool too.   It's cool when I'm leaving the driveway and hit the button to say close the shades, lock the doors or turn some tunes on on for the dog. I  still use Siri for music so having both is nice.  Alexa on a road trip can also provide some laughs with all the random sh*t we ask her.

Also installed a scanner app on my phone which popped up on the truck in carplay mode. Awesome, now I can tune into the local fire department dispatch or any other as it finds my current location and presents a list of available Fire/EMS/Police channels.  Nice to know whats going on when you hear sirens - always support your local FDs,  especially the volunteer ones!

 I know we'd all like a bigger screen, but with the right setup and apps this system has been really good.  All the map apps like Waze, Google Maps, etc all seem to work really well, the interface is really functional.  Think I'll be keeping this truck until the second model year with supercruise comes out.

Awesome! Which scanner app is that I definitely want to give that a whirl.

It’s called Scanner Radio in the Apple App Store.   There are probably others that support CarPlay as well but this works really well for me.

Hey gang GM just dropped V158 for these radios. It will be available as an OTA but as we know those can take a bit to hit given how they are rolled out in small batches. That being said if you would like to update your kit please use the contact us page from our site and include your order number and we'll send you instructions to do this immediately to your vehicle!

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
