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

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
