I have a 2020 Silverado WT provided by my company.  My 2016 had a 3.5MM audio plug in the center console and I had a Sirius radio that I connected that way.  Chevy has stripped these trucks way down and no longer gives you a 3.5MM jack (or any storage for that matter).  The Sirius radio came with an FM adapter that goes in series with the normal FM radio antenna which then allows you to tune to a station on the radio to listen to the receiver.  I located what I am pretty sure is the antenna connection behind the passenger dash below the glove box.  I don't know how to get the cable out to see if it is the same style as the Sirius adapter.  In the old days you just pulled hard but this looks like it may have a captive plug that needs to be released but I can't see well enough to tell.

 

I found a picture from back in 2019 on this forum that has a good image of the unit,  It's the black coax that I assume is the FM antenna,

 

Can anyone tell me what has to be done to release the cable?  Thanks in advance.

Were you ever able to integrate the FM modulator in line? I am trying to do this myself. Hoping someone might know the part numbers for the antennae adapters I will need.

I was never able to get an answer and gave up on this project.  Mine is a company owned truck so I did not feel comfortable going any further.  I am convinced that it would take some sort of adapter but I was never able to get the factory plug unhooked to take a look.

The bottom side of the antenna plug in the picture has a tab you have to depress to pull it out. I can't tell if there's a locking tab to hold it in place, but it doesn't appear so. Why not use one of the adapters that just broadcasts the signal via FM via inline with the antenna plug. I haven't seen any of the inline antenna style in YEARS. I have one somewhere and it's the old style GM plug, it's changed since then.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
