Just posting a thread on here if someone who has a 2019 Silverado with the one USB type B port, you can easily upgrade to a module that has a USB-C, USB-B, and an SD card port very quickly and easily in under 5 minutes.

 

I bought mine from eBay and it ran me $27.19 plus shipping.

 

I bought a trim removal kit on Amazon and used the one circled to pry it from the bottom and when the bottom popped out a bit, I pried it from the left side and it just popped out very quickly. After that, just unplug the old one and plug in the new one.

 

FYI, I also bought the module that just has just the USB-C and USB-B ports (without the SD card port) and I don't believe that one would work since it needs an extra cable to be plugged into and I was searching around and didn't find one -- you probably need a different harness for that one.

 

What I've noticed so far is that Apple CarPlay will pickup my iPhone a bit faster, skip through the songs a bit faster, and it charges my phone a bit faster, as well.

 

I haven't tried the SD card functionality yet but I can hope that it may be a necessary requirement for people that have IOR radios to upgrade to the IOS ones with navigation.

I had just recently replaced the single usb to the dual usb without the sd card slot in my 20 custom tb. It works just fine without the other cable plugged into it. Both USB ports work and they light up white as well. I had plug my phone and my wife’s phone in at the same time and the radio recognized both phones. The only thing that I don’t know is if the usb-c does the fast charging or not. That’s a mute point for me since I drive nearly 40 minutes to work.

I want to run one in my center console. But I dont want to do any splicing. Do you know the harness number or the connect? I know how to build harnesses so if i knew the connector numbers I could easily build the harness.

Does it light up and if so is it the same white color? 

 

Yes it does and yes it is!

Good to know! I'll keep the one you installed in storage to see if someone comes out with some sort of harness to plug it in. Something tells me the extra cable is probably for higher data speeds?

It was just plug and play for me and I didn't have to do any splicing. If your truck has the port with just the one USB, you can plug in the existing plugs/cables into the one that has the USB type C, USB type B, and the SD card -- it's a direct replacement and you get the entire functionality of it.

 

But if you want to plug the one in there with just the USB type C and USB type B ports without the SD card reader, you're going to have to do some digging and maybe contact someone that has that already in their truck and see where it leads to.

Just a note.  I did this in my truck, with the SD card, and neither plug can "charge" my Android phones while using Android Auto.  They just "maintain" charge.  I haven't tried the one without the SD yet...

I finally went ahead and ordered one of these from eBay for myself.  It'll be nice to have the USB-C port and the SD card slot.  I'll try to update after I get it and install it.

I installed this today. The usb works normally, I haven't tried the usb-c port yet. The sdcard slot seems to detect that I have inserted an sdcard, but it can't read the mp3s I have on it. I get a "No supported media found" message. Has anyone see this error before?

I figured it out. Windows would only let me format the card as exfat. I downloaded a program that allowed me to format the card as Fat32 and now the radio can read the mp3 files on the card.

Big thanks to @Semedar for posting this.  My part came in and I successfully swapped it in.

Here is the thread that I created to document my installation:

      injector cleaner 2021 2.7 1500 silverado

      By TheGeek · Posted

      From what I gather, you have a 2.7 Diesel  You cannot use Chevron gas in it.  Howes has a diesel add-in and it states it cleans injectors.  Me personally, wouldn't bother with it.  If it's not broke, don't fix it.     Just my two cents worth.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Looking up on the web you can the information that would seem obvious. You asked engine components to do more. You get more wear. The answer is they can last just as long but required more maintenance. Apparently having to change lifters, cam and associated components are maintenance or repairs. In some research the normal life span of valve train components are 80-100 miles with 3-5K miles oil change. So the next logical conclusion would be cost per mile. I use that analogy with my wife all the time with vehicles. My Odyssey is approaching 170K. The cost per mile will go up at 200K with maintenance. Looking at a low cost car. A K-4 with a 10-10 warranty. Selling my Ridgeline that’s about to hit the same maintenance milestone. My argument becomes not only I get worry free driving. But at no cost increases. Because I take the money from my Ridgeline and maintenance savings and other potential savings. I’m driving for free. So tying it with a bow. It makes you wonder. Is this a grand conspiracy by the auto makers? Raise the potential maintenance high enough. Buyers by extended warranty to 100K miles. Do the minimum maintenance required. Trade in at the warranty end. How long should they last? That question is what keeps people up at night. The answer is much more complicated than it used to be.

      Could you cite your source on this?  I cannot find any reference to the US secretly taking the oil.  I find references that the US helped oil tankers move through the Strait of Hormuz, but nothing about what you're stating.

      Gas Prices

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Since the media YOU and your buddies are programmed to watch failed to mention this, I'll fill you in.   Trump admitted today that we've grabbed 150 MILLION barrels of oil from the Iranian tankers locked in the Strait by our Navy. We turned off their transponders, took them out to sea in the dark of night since they have zero radar capabilities anymore, offloaded every drop onto another vessel, and put them back by morning so no one was the wiser. That oil has been en-route THROUGHOUT the entire conflict.   Main reason he admitted this is to let even guys on our own side who joined leftists in complaining about the prices that he hears us all, and has taken steps to make sure this didn't spiral into a BAD situation ... just like the mainstream media has been PRAYING would happen, just so they could gloat. Amazes me how these people are rooting for the destruction of THEIR OWN HOME, just to make a President they don't agree with or like look bad! That's next level TDS!   I know your not capable of giving our President the benefit of the doubt, again due to your deep programming, but THIS is why oil never hit $150 a barrel as predicted by your programmers, AND the reason oil continues falling. Like I said before, Trump's got a plan, and this is proof of it. By the end of his term, we're going to be in GREAT shape for a change!   Since I just spent $3,000 this week on #2 heating oil and gasoline, the war most certainly is ending! 🤣   https://mxmnews.com/article/ba359ac9-2711-4851-92de-187f2400f2dd?breaking-trump-cancels-iran-strikes-deal-now-approved-by-all-parties
