Non Onstar. Can someone advise how, if even possible, to get the nav screen to show speed limits (not radar zones or anything related, just plain speed limits)?

 

Previous truck did not have OEM navigation, so I purchased after market nav (had to replace the head unit) which showed speed limits (and you could set a limit, above which it changed to a warning red). I always had this option on as I often travel through unfamiliar areas and liked having the speed reminder showing.

 

I was hoping the new truck would have this feature but it appears it does not, at least not that I can find.

 

Thanks,

It's only on mid/high trims -- but I'd guess that if the truck has nav, then it has a trim that includes the speed limit display.

It's a DIC setting, needs to be enabled on the 'info pages' tab. 

 

 

It will show on dash (not nav screen) as a white box with the speed limit in black.  

( on roads that don't have signs, it doesn't display, even thought 'unsigned' roads have default speed limits)

Can also be shown on the HUD if you have that system.  iirc, the setting to display the speed limit on the HUD is separate from the one that enables speed limit display on the dash.

 

Fwiw, there is also a selection possible that will give a warning it the speed limit is exceeded. 

 

 

It can be shown will show 2 places on the dash: 

 

-- I normally have a different dic page displayed, so only have the speed limit the upper left spot (and on the HUD)

-- speed limit is 90kph (about 55mph); truck is set to display 'inch' units, but unit selection does not change the value the truck gets from the speed limit database

Thanks very much for the replies,

 

pokismoki - Not sure which "map app" you are referring to, Google Maps, Waze or other. However, the reason I got OEM nav was to eliminate the need to always have to fiddle with my phone. I have used Google Maps and it eats battery power like there is no tomorrow, so constantly need to remove the phone from my hip and plug it in (then unplug and replace every time I exit). And, I travel to/from Colorado/B.C. often and when I go, I usually turn off my phone and keep it in my camera bag. And there are other issues with travelling in areas with no cell service.

 

redwngr - Thanks much for the detailed response. I will check to see if I can get the DIC to show the information.

Went through every option for the DIC. Able to get the turn by turn display, but no luck with the speed limit(s).

It's not possible without Onstar.  I had it in the center display and when using the nav screen, but once the free trial expired, it went away.  I recall seeing that as a feature of one of the Onstar plans.

 

Only way without Onstar is to use a phone app.

mrjulian416,

 

Thanks for the follow-up information. My free Onstar trial has expired as well.

 

Funny enough, while searching the DIC for the speed limit display, I found a setting which allowed one to set a speed limit and when the vehicle exceeded that speed, a voice would give a verbal warning. Not really sure of the value to this as every time you entered a new speed zone, you would have to manually go into the settings and change the speed. Weird it would have this but not a simple speed limit display in the Navigation.

 

A Nav system (IGOPrimo) I added to a previous vehicle had a speed limit display and it did not require Onstar or a phone connection to work. It was just built into the Nav.

speed limits are from a database stored on the truck

My onstar expired 12 months (or more) ago.

Still have the speed limit display thing working.

 

No onstar. Phone not connected. 

Speed limit is on dash, not on the nav display.  (good thing, because I rarely have the nav display up)

Were you using the dic display settings (accessed using steering wheel controls) or the settings on the audio/navi/infotainment system (accessed using the touchscreen)?

 

What year/trim is the truck?

 

And this truck has factory nav?

It's the cluster. 

 

When GM offered factory nav upgrade for IOS radios for all of what, 15 months? they had you re-program the cluster to show the navigation functions properly as if it was a factory IOT/IOU nav radio truck.

 

With the aftermarket factory nav upgrades, you don't get that ability to flash the cluster.  And, because its not the factory kit, you won't have the necessary auth code to issue a re-flash of your cluster from GM and the dealer.

  

You'd have to pursue a Denali/High Country cluster swap to get those the speed limit indicator to work.

So I guess I'm confused. Maybe I misinterpreted the original post.

 

I took it to mean that in a past truck you installed add-on nav, but on current truck it is factory nav?

 

Post by @newdude post seems to suggest he is thinking the current truck is an add-on?

 

Does the current truck you're trying to do this on have factory nav?

What year and trim is the truck? 

 

 

Also

Did you go thru the settings on the nav (touch screen) AND the settings on the DIC (steering wheel control)?

 

The speed signs are accessed in DIC settings (accessed with steering wheel controls.

(there are separate settings for each of the speed sign locations)

Think perhaps I may have, inadvertently, contributed to some of the confusion in this thread.

 

By OEM I was referring to the system native to the truck, but in my case, I obtained it after-factory from OBDGenie, which "wakes" the dormant system (for lack of a better description), and uses an SD card produced by GM. Everything available through this method is OEM, except the noted speed limit display.

I wish these car companies could get the infotainment systems together,  honestly GMs still looks and feels like the 2014 I had and isnt what the others had.  Not sure I need vehicle speed on my nav as its about in 3 other places on the dash.  But plug this in or dont plug this in, use this app, onstar,  it needs to end.  Somebody needs to hire apple or bill gates to figure these systems out.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Atlas · Posted

      If one can't be found, a good automotive upholstery shop should be able to replace/sew in a new panel where the damage is on the old cover. It might not be the cheapest option..

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.

      Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like

      Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.
