For those with extra Android phone laying around as paper weight. Here's a free mod you can do. Btw, phone needs to be root.

 

Edit- it also works on non rooted device as well.

- Spare phone needs to be rooted, I used Magisk

- install Android Auto from Play store. Tab on Version 10 times to enable developer mode. Under developer setting, change to developer and enable unknown source

- install Screen2auto found on xda. Launch the app, click setting and unlock, grant root access

 

You are golden! 

 

I plan on installing my new dashcam and use the rear camera behind the front grill as a park assist. 

 

 

For internet access. I connects the spare to my main phone hotspot. I have 40gb of hotspot so I'm putting it to good use.

So far I'm loving it! Just got my spare to recognize when power is cut off and on at charge port. When power cut off, phone will shutdown. When power is detected, phone will boot up, takes about 30 seconds to fully boot up.

I been wanting to upgrade my head console to include home link, just for the button to open my garage. After some research, I figured it would be to much headache. Instead, I went with a wifi garage opener and linked it to my spare phone which I can open in Android Auto via voice command.  😅  

 

Device cost under $30 shipped.

This is a great mod, now if I could get this to work with the extra iPhone I have laying around. 

 

 

I don't have iPhone so I'm not sure. As long as it has mirroring app than it should work.

Does this work on 14-15 models without AA or Carplay?

 

Depends on which mod you would like to add. For on screen app, video, map, etc, it won't work unless you have Android Auto. For the garage door opener, it will work with any Android phone.

Edit: it works on non rooted devices as well. See screenshot for netflix 

 

Edit 2: I'm getting the black screen when playing netflix but sounds does work. 

 

I went back to the rooted device as it was more stable.

      I love my truck but

      By taze · Posted

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
