I have been thinking about putting a bigger screen in my 2020 silverado.  I bought a used 10inch screen from a Tahoe.  The connections on the back are the same. I thought I would try it out. 

 

Today I plugged in and the image displayed but it was showing 6 screens!  I know nothing about vidro screens but I do like to experiment.  Touch screen did work.

 

Can anyone or does anyone know someone who can come up with a way to fix?  Is there a way to convert image or program something? Or I wonder if a Tahoe radio receiver could be installed?

A complete wild a$$ guess, but I assume the actual controller is set to a specific resolution and it fails over the rest of the screen due to the greater resolution. This is a complete guess and someone more technical than I can point out my inaccuracies.

mocking it up.  I found one of the best to work on a solution to the resolution.  I will provide updates.

Wow, happy to see your post today!! I am contemplating this exact mod. We just rented a 2021 suburban and I loved the screen. Camera resolution seemed much better but the bigger screen was much nicer. A week later my 2021 Sierra came in and a feel deprived of that 10" screen!!! Knowing GM, I figured the plugs would be the same and I would mock up the screen to look factory. Great work so far, following your solution closely I really hope you get a fix, this will be an awesome upgrade!

 

Thank for posting

I could definitely see a market for this conversion if it was decently priced and someone figures out a way to make a bolt in molded bezel that doesn’t interfere with the AC vents.

I am definitely looking forward to what you come up with. I would upgrade to the 10" in a heartbeat!

I had WAMS working on this.   Thank you WAMS! WAMS really is the best.  The tahoe screen was built for global B electrical architecture so it was not possible. We may try something else with a global A cars screen.

Couldn't do it without awesome people like yourself willing to try new and crazy things! I think we are on the right path now :)

WAMS is working something up on programming end.   I will then figure how to get it mounted so it looks stock.

      OCI, not when but why?

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
