Could it be under the dash?

 

It would have to be tucked up under and behind the radio, which I doubt. I've been inside both lower sides of the dash and there isn't one there, nor room for it.

You have a radio right mjones? Then you have an antenna. It's built into the satellite antenna on the roof.

Just the Sirius antenna in the shark fin on the top of the truck. I do not have a terrestrial radio antenna. Excuse me for not being more specific for your liking.

People still listen to the regular radio? With IHeartRadio, Pandora, Amazon music my radio is just a sound system. My phone is my radio. Before that I used my iPods. Before that CDs, cassettes, 8 trac

Chevrolet's website shows Bose as a 7-speaker system. I would like for someone who has access to GM's exploded views to show where the 7th speaker is.

I just picked up my Denali, and man do I miss my old SLT stereo.  The new one has the Bose Premium Sound, but it lacks the bass of my '19 SLT.  Where is the subwoofer located for the '22?

 

I think the biggest loss in the 22+ infotainment is the lack of HD Radio, the sound quality had higher fidelity and richer bass due to the digital signal versus the analog signal. Plus there were more radio stations in HD.

I don't even have an antenna on my truck. I only listen to Sirius and use the iHeart Radio app to listen to the local morning talk show.

No it isn't. The terrestrial radio antenna is on the cowl on the passenger side.

OK but you have antenna.

Well... now that it is brought up when you made the statement of not having an antenna, did it not come with one when purchased or did you remove the antenna for appearance's purpose?

I took it off before I left the dealer. I knew it would hit my garage door opening when pulling in and for looks. Since I never use the terrestrial radio, I had no need for it. I've taken it off the last 5 trucks I've had.

 

Not to get off topic, but I don't understand why GM doesn't put the terrestrial antenna in the shark fin. My wife's 2020 Equinox only had the shark fin antenna on top. The terrestrial radio antenna is in it.

I don't. I always think it is funny when I get into a family members car and they have it on a local FM radio station. I have the music apps I need installed in the infotainment system of the truck (Youtube Music, iHeart) along with Sirius.

I'm old school, I still utilize the FM radio to hear local events. Sure, I use Android Auto and built-in apps and I know there's an app for most, it's just quicker for me on short commutes.

I use iHeartRadio for that. My local AM, Michael Barry show with local news. That way when I get out to walk I pop the buds in. When he gets to rambling I can switch to Amazon prime or Pandora.

No contest on that, once the rambling and garbage starts I switch to apps but that's when I commute on longer trips.

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
