Hi everyone,

I did search before posting this but I wanted to ask here to be sure.

I have a new to me 2020 Trailboss LT and my Onstar just expired.

I didn't realize that the Chevrolet Maps+ was part of the Onstar package?.

I assumed I was only going to lose the turn by turn service.(beside roadside assistance)

My phone is old Samsung Galaxy S5(stop laughing) :) and it does NOT support Android Auto.

I am somewhat disappointed not having navigation in my pretty new modern truck:( (my 2013 Tundra had built in navigation, how can this truck not have it)?

I read there used to be a SD card that would make the navigation work? but apparently they stopped selling them? I have the convenience II package.

My question is, is there any other way to have my trucks navigation system work? or is a new phone my only option(besides just using my phone)

 

 

thank you

What is the version of your infotainment system? (I am not familiar enough with the various trim levels to know). I have a Sierra SLE which did not come with OEM navigation. I have IOS and as a result, was able to purchase an aftermarket product, which came with an SD (map) card and device to, briefly, plug into the OBD11 port, which gave me OEM navigation (although it is missing some Onstar-related components like speed limit, but no big deal). As I was initially mislead by the dealer and believed I was getting OEM navigation, I discovered to the contrary and with the particular trim level, GM would not install navigation, after the truck left the factory.

sorry i'm not sure how to tell which version it is? My truck has the HD screen with Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

In the window sticker they refer to it as Chevrolet Infotainment 3 plus .

My truck is pretty much loaded so I'd assume it has their more expensive system?

 

thanks again

I’ve done lots of traveling in the last 40 years. I’ve used built in navigation, stand alone and last since available my IPhone. And recently WAZE. Even the standard navigation on my iPhone is really good. They’re pretty good at police detection if you speed. I have three vehicles with built in that are a hassle in comparison. Don’t use them. I don’t like lots of hassle especially driving. So the phone through blue tooth handles even my music and news with iHeart radio and pandora. You can preload sitting at the kitchen table and the blue tooth picks it up and you’re driving. So lesson the hassle update the phone. You can even just talk to your phone on the fly it does it for you. This is from a 67 year old who’s tech challenged. Banging on the iPhone.

i agree update your phone. like karnut i have been driving for almost 50 years, lol in the 70's there was no navigation or cell phones. our company ships horses so you are in the  country a lot. bought lots of state maps in my time. now a days everything is at a finger tip, the navigation in our 2020 denali sucks compared to google maps or waze. i still dont use navigation much unless there is traffic jams and i need to find a way around them. horses on a hot day dont like sitting still. it is nice though when i go to cities to know when the street you are looking for is coming up.

I use navigation all the time even visiting my mother 30 miles away. There’s several ways to go even the interstate. So if’s there’s a problem I know the route before leaving the driveway.

Agree on the new phone if he wants to go that way. I do believe 2020 and above has the wireless connect system. I have the 2019 Sierra and it's a PITA to have to connect through a wire. I don't use nav much unless I'm in an unfamiliar area. I find WAZE to be very good. On Star uses Goggle Maps. I find it to be unreliable. The last update was April 2022. If the USB card doesn't have enough 'space', it won't update. 

WAZE for me.

      Thrust bearing is a very small window.  But nice try.   Turbo oil filter?  Haven't seen any failures.  Change your oil more frequently.  Use a better oil than the factory oil.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      There is a p/n called out in the one PI that GM has.  Curt 57003 inline load adapter that is used for LED trailers that are having trouble with these newer trucks.  No cutting, no splicing, etc.  GM did update the lighting module around 2023 to better pick up trailers with LED lighting, but it still can happen.     Here's the link to the Curt site for it - 7-Way RV Blade LED Electrical Adapter (Not a Wiring Extension) SKU #57003 by CURT   The PI I am referencing - MC-10208985-9999.pdf   Its not just a GM deal either.  Newer Fords and Rams have this same problem.       In another PI, they recommend that the trailer has a Pollock brand 7 way on it as that is who makes the truck sides for the OEMs.  GM is also big on making sure the trailer is trouble free.  So no wiring issues, all lights are functional, better quality 7 way plug, etc.     The other PI I am referencing - MC-10178359-9999.pdf   The model year range is older but it is the current PI for 2014-2026.  It calls out the Pollock RV HD 7 way they recommend.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That's part of the problem...the EGR has already been replaced, and I've already had the complete intake assembly removed, and the EGR passages were clear at that time. That leaves wiring, PCM, or another variable that I wasn't expecting. Best I can tell, it's not wiring or the PCM, so I'm grasping for straws.   The PCM uses the MAP reading to confirm the requisite loss of vacuum in the manifold when the EGR activates. Since that's vacuum related, it involves a lot of other systems which could play a role.   The overall diagnosis has to be considered too. The fuel lines in the intake had rubbed through and were dumping fuel into the intake, drowning the cylinders in fuel, and putting raw fuel into the sump and cat converter. The fuel system has been fixed but the complete path of damage may not be. If the cat was damaged and melted the internals, it could be partially obstructed and also playing into the EGR issue.   I'm retracing my steps; trying to go back to thinking thinking Horses not Zebras based on the clues I've been given. These engines aren't *that* complex.   Could it be, now that the truck is running well, that carbon and crud from being run with the fuel system in disarray is now dislodging and clogged my clean EGR passages where I can't see?  That's what the code is actually saying. The flow is restricted, dummy. Retrace step 1.   I may just need to remove the lower intake again. Before I do that I'm going to try removing the EGR and running the engine for a few seconds to see if it will blow anything lodged in the egr passages out through the open ports.     That's been helpful in the past. For the spider injector, there's no guarantee I'll get a working one. The spider I have seems fine now that the high pressure fuel line isn't making an early delivery via large hole. SO at least I'm not marooned and looking for one of those.   Row52 (dot com) is also a good one for watching for vehicles at local yards.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      2006 Silverado HVAC sensor location in dashboard

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.
