I have a 2016 GMC Sierra Denali with navigation, Bose and android auto/car play. Is it possible to upgrade to the 2018 interface that has the app store? I have a 2018 Equinox and enjoy the weather channel app and the extra settings options. I know the 2018 Denali has the same interface as my Equinox and was hoping I could update mine. 

If anyone has any knowledge on this and what module I need to change please let me know.

 

Thanks

I mean we can absolutely upgrade you to that interface but the app shop wont work. You're missing some other hardware and other issues that will pop up to make it work. If you're serious you can contact us from our site and can give you the general idea but its not something thats likely going to work.

Will the 2018 settings work? On the 2018 you can turn on vehicle WiFi from the radio. On 2016 you can't. You have to use the app.

Hmmm, my 2017 has vehicle WiFi which turns on every time I start the truck.
One would need a subscription to the WiFi capabilities, though. Same as On-Star or Sirius XM.
It's $25 a month, well worth it for the benefits (for the WiFi, On-Star and Sirius XM are extra).
Best thing is, my AutoSync automatically connects to it (the WiFi) for AutoSync and BTDiesel updates for module programming.
Seriously, if one wants to mod their modules, there isn't anything better than WAMS paired with BTDiesel, and the truck WiFi availability.

That's what I don't like... I want the ability to cut it on or off from the radio. You can also change the WiFi name and password from the radio in 2018. Since the major hardware change came in 2019 it seems like an easy thing to upgrade a 2016 to 2018 interface. I just need someone that can sell me a module programmed to my Vin. It's a better value to buy the GM unlimited WiFi for 2 years for $360 which is what I did

In the settings on the 2017 one can always go in to settings and change WiFi name and password.
If you need further mods, I still recommend WAMS for changes.
2 years for $360 is a good deal.

What is WAMS?

I don't know what I need. I just know I prefer the 2018 interface better and trying to find someone that can help me get this done

Also, sorry, it's been a while, you'll need the myChevrolet app to change WiFi name and password.

I figured maybe it was missed since WAMS was a question for him?
And Chris's post was below his?

FYI... I have GM WiFi, I have the MyChevy app, MyGMC app and MyCadillac app. What I don't have is the 2018 radio interface. If it's possible to get it on my 2016 that's what I want to buy. I know all the differences and what each interface can do. If anyone has done this or know of a company please let me know.

Thanks

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
