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 come up with a more economical solution as well if thats the route you want to go :)

Upgrade complete on my 2020 Custom Trail Boss!  With the help of the Harness Dr's instructions, I was able to figure out how to get the wires landed where they needed to be.   Unlike everyon

For anyone else as dumb as me I thought people were saying the voice button was working through the radio like an LT or higher. So when I installed mine I was a little disappointed when I pressed the button and it didn't do anything (except in Android auto) but still much better than before. 

 

However, I found out it does try to work through a connected Bluetooth device. My android phone was (quietly) giving me the option of Android auto, alexa, or Bixby when the button was pressed so I didn't notice. Now that I selected "always open with Google assistant" on my phone when I press the voice button the radio pauses and the phone listens, even when not in Android auto. I'm much happier now! I have a feeling the iPhone people had it work right away through siri. 

 

So long story short. If you do this make sure to set up your phone properly for the full experience!

Hmmm.....I'm an Apple person so maybe my experience doesn't apply but I can make and receive calls with the phone buttons on my steering wheel when my Iphone is connected to Carplay through my truck's USB port.  I've had the GM steering wheel buttons on other vehicles and found I really missed them on the 2020 Silverado Custom that I bought at a fantastic price prior to the chip shortages.  I've added Katskins leather heated seats, the GM leather covered steering wheel, a front camera and the High Country instrument cluster. By doing this, I've attained all of the up model features I wanted on my Custom at a much better price than that dictated by the up model packages. I also prefer the looks of the Custom over most of the chrome filled up models.

Yeah, through Android auto or carplay it would work, but I hate having to always connect a wire and the android auto connection isn't super reliable either. 

 

When NOT in Android auto or car play I can now press the button and my phone listens for my commands. By default it didn't know what to do until I set it up to always use Google assistant.

 

My post may have been worded poorly.

I just finished my upgrade. I have a 2021 Custom Trail Boss. Changed the steering wheel, added the High Country Cluster from WAMS. Used the harnessdr.com LIN Bus Harness. Everything works as advertised. Getting the steering torx bolt out was the biggest hurdle. That added a few hours to the install. I snapped a standard torx bit in half using it on an impact wrench. Had to drive to autozone to buy an impact bit. Luckily I found a thread somewhere where they said there was Loctite on the steering wheel bolt. After I heated it up for a minute or two with a heat gun, it came right out.

It's a lotta work but definitely worth it.  My biggest fear was putting the Harness Doctor wire in the wrong hole and having to disassemble everything to correct my mistake.  I counted the slots for the Harness Doctor wire ends three times just to be sure.

Aside from graphics, what specific features will the high country cluster add over the lesser cluster? Anybody making headway on getting a heated wheel to work at all? Don't really care about it, just that the heated wheel seems more available.

The graphics are nice but not absolutely necessary.  I was more interested in  the steering wheel audio and phone controls because I consider them a safety issue.

What part numbers are your steering wheels? My truck already has the correct trim/color for this specific steering wheel.

Exactly my thoughts. Notice on the interior for 2023, they even moved the volume nob on the console closer to the driver, rather than keeping it centered for passenger convenience

19 is supposed to be a one year only steering wheel.  The 20-21 are different.

Any chance on the new 2022 instrument displays being plug and play on the 19-21s?

Can anyone confirm that this steering wheel would work for my 2021 Custom? My intent is to replace the steering wheel and the cluster as described above but I want to be sure I am getting the right steering wheel.

 

Thanks!

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
