A few people have expressed interest in a lower cost method to do this upgrade. While I think if you're going to go through all of this the real upgrade is the Denali / High Country variants we have c

I'll be doing this mod in my 2022 Custom LTD. I have the High Country cluster from WAMS, I have a new steering wheel with the controls for the DIC, and I have HarnessDR harness on order.

 

I plan on making an install video to add to my youtube channel for more in depth look at this modification. Stay tuned.

*UPDATE* 7/31/22

 

Got my High Country cluster installed yesterday along with the harness dr. wire, and my new steering wheel. Couldn't be any more pleased. The install took about 2 hours (while filming) and was not really that difficult. I am in the process of editing my in depth tutorial video that should help others do this mod.image0.thumb.jpeg.08dd2555358b21bd216c97f783020371.jpeg

Should have swapped in a black Bowtie while it was apart!

Changing to a black Bowtie on the steering wheel is deceptively hard to do because it is glued to the air bag.  I ended up masking mine and and painting it with semi-gloss black.  So far, it is holding up just fine.

Hmm interesting. On my 08 Avalanche it is an aluminum badge(circle) that is held on with 4 bent over tabs on the back side of the airbag cover. I was able to pull the cover off and not disturb the airbag and swap it out for a red SS emblem.

I thought my situation would be that simple only to be disappointed because it was not.  That emblem is glued on so tightly it is almost impossible to remove without damaging the air bag.  That's why I decided to back off and paint it.

Here is my install video. It's long. But I think very detailed, and should help anyone wanting to do this.

I have done some research on that, but I'm not sure if it will work. 

 

From reading the schematics on the gmupfitter site, we would need to add a wire to the clockspring harness, similar to what is required to get the steering wheel controls to work.

 

We would need to connect the X85 clockspring connector pin 10 (Circuit 4119 GN/BU size 0.35, LIN Bus 19) to K33 HVAC Control Module X2 pin 6.  (As seen on pages 182 and 461 in the schematics.)

 

The related 7.5A F22 fuse for the circuit was already in my fusebox.

 

I don't know where the K33 X2 connector is located, but I believe it is in the instrument panel, so harnessdr could probably make up a wire for this, similar to the other one.  The big question for me is, does the HVAC Control Module have the Lin Bus 19 support on our trucks?

 

Somebody should try this!  :)

Just got done installing the High Country Cluster and Leather Steering Wheel on my 2019 Trail Boss. I ran a wire from clockspring pin 10 to the HVAC control module pin 6 and unfortunately the heated steering wheel still doesn't work. I believe it may be a feature that has to be activated by the dealership. For those interested, the HVAC Control Module is located in the instrument panel straight up above the brake pedal and kind of a pain to get to.

Thanks for trying this!  I was really curious if just adding that wire would get the steering wheel heater to work.  Bummer to hear that it didn't work.

 

Thanks for telling us where the HVAC Control Module is located.

 

I ended up going with the steering wheel that doesn't have the steering wheel heater, as that was the only one that I could find in stock.

Bump for a 22 Chevy Trail Boss Custom update.  My truck has the FCA (Forward Collision Alert) distance button on the cruise control cluster.  I have the Dr. Harness ordered.  I will order the Instrument Cluster this week.  My question is which model steering wheel to try to locate that will allow the FCA to work?

You can swap the button from your current wheel to whatever one you find. I swapped mine because the leather wheel I bought was a new "scratch and dent" that had a scratch across the button and trim. If you get one from a non refresh truck, you'll have to swap both buttons and wiring plug since I'm sure they are different since it's Global B architecture vs the pre refresh Global A.

Thanks for the reply! My truck is pre-refresh 06/2022 mfr date with IOR radio.  

I've ordered 2 different steering wheels from eBay arriving next week.  Both are non-heated with the FCA button on the cruise cluster on left side.  Hoping this works!

Why did you order the poly steering wheel? Isn't that what you already have from the factory?

Not quite.  The current wheel doesn't have the audio controls on the right side of wheel.  Both of the wheels I ordered from eBay have audio controls.  What is unclear to me is how one determines whether a wheel (and the resultant controls) will work when installed with a WAMs cluster upgrade, the Harness Dr. Lin bus cable, etc.  Most of the available resources (here, YouTube, etc) show steering wheels with heated option but do not have the FCA button.   The 2 wheels I ordered have that.  

 

I'm also not clear on Global A vs. Global B as it relates to this process.  

 

Thanks for the feedback and commentary.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
