Good afternoon. I hope I'm in the right place since I'm new to the forum. If so I have a question about my truck navigation system. I purchased a 2014 Silverado and I notice my navigation does not work. the only thing I see when I click on it is the compass. could anyone provide any info as to what I need to do in order to get my navigation to work?

I believe you only have onstar navigation then. You’ll have to check your codes in the glove box and see what model radio you have. A little search here will tell you what model code has navigation. Sorry I just can’t recall

It'll have be an IO6 code to have factory nav.

I replied in your other thread you started in the Acadia section so I will add it here too:

 

You more than likely have the IO5 radio which does not have the factory installed navigation.  The "NAV" icon/compass is for Onstar Turn-By-Turn navigation.  If you have a subscription to Onstar that supports turn by turn, you can have them send directions to the truck and the NAV icon will allow displaying of text turn by turn.  

 

In your glovebox there's a white label with a bunch of 3 digit codes printed on it, as well as your VIN.  That label is the SPID label or Service Parts Identification label.  The 3 digit codes called RPO codes (Regular Production Option) tell you the options that are equipped in your truck such as engine, gearing, radio, transmission, etc.

 

On that label head to the codes that start with "I".  If you see "IO5" you have the non-nav radio which is turn by turn capable.  If you have the "IO6" radio, you have factory navigation.   

 

There are aftermarket upgrade paths to make an IO5 radio have the factory nav from the IO6 radio.  Factory navigation for Chevrolet and GMC vehicles now available! (rostra.com)

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
