What is the next radio upgrade I can do? Looks like my truck came in with factory installed IOR and I want to update it to the next available option without the navigation system. Wireless CarPlay perhaps. Maybe be able to add trailering option in the future? Any help highly appreciated, thank you

Welcome to the forum! Sorry to say upgradng an IOR radiio is extremely difficult if not impossible. Everything in your truck is designed for IOR not IOS or any other radio. I have heard and read about others who have upgraded and they spent alot of money and lost some funtionality form the sound system. You could research this forum for more details or try White Automotive Services.

last time i talked to Chris at wams, they are not working on an update

Correct as of this time there is no way to upgrade the IOR to anything that will function as if it were factory so we are not offering anything.

I think the OP was in luck as his photos showed Onstar as a menu option in his truck.  The key is whether or not you have Onstar (Option Code UE1) in your truck.  Some IOR trucks indeed also include Onstar.  Read on…

 

Jumping in to update with the info I got yesterday from Infotainment.com.  They are sending me their fog light retrofit kit with a OBD Genie to code it in for me.  However, although my truck has the IOR 7” audio, it does not have the UE1 onstar option code (as I believe the OP’s truck had based on his photos).  So that means that unless your IOR radio shows you Onstar as a choice on your Home Screen - unlike my truck - you cannot simply upgrade up to IOS or IOT.  We also cannot simply swap out the ACM to add SiriusXM.  But, for SXM I found a Vais Technology GSR-GM03 Adapter, sold online by Crutchfield for $289.  

 

https://www.crutchfield.com/p_936GSRGM03/Vais-Technology-GSR-GM03-Adapter.html?omnews=16378805

 

This unit allows you to use a SiriusXM SXV300 tuner and feed it into your USB inputs for the truck.  I’m sure the interface is a bit of a kludge as it will appear in your list of sources as an iPod.  However, I think it’s worth a try considering Crutchfield’s generous 60-day return policy.  Of course, the 7” IOR has plug-in CarPlay so that is a great solution already.  I plan to upgrade the speakers and loop in my AudioControl D-6.1200 DSP amp and a behind-the-seat subwoofer to achieve a respectable sound in this work truck.

 

Chirs White and I have already exchanged notes about putting in a High Country cluster, programmed with extra functions and with HUD support.  I have a used black leather steering wheel coming that will provide me with audio controls once I connect it up using a “Harness Dr.” harness that WAMS recommends.  HUD?  Yes, it seems that folks have retrofitted HUDs into these low trim level “work trucks.”  Last year  I did the same thing to a 2021 Camaro LT1 with the help of WAMS as well.  

 

These retrofits are fun!

@fernando flower Have you figured out how to upgrade your infotainment system from IOR to IOK? I have a 2024 Silverado 2500HD with IOR infotainment system and also want to upgrade to IOK so I can add the trailering camera system that includes side blind spot cameras and front camera. From what I can tell GM does not have a IOK radio that can replace the IOR radio, so I’m hoping you have maybe found a solution?

IOK is also not optional on the trims that don't have it standard.

(some years they have optional audio upgrades orderable for some trims)

Even with IOK, the trailer camera provisions are still optional, except on ZR2image.thumb.png.90dd1fe39bd1cc2c26de46f6adb2cd3a.png

I have  2020 Silverado RST with the IOR infotainment system.  I do have OnStar also and my package includes Navigation thru onstar.  Is it possible to upgrade to the IOU.

I have attempted this upgrade. I may revisit it in a couple weeks. I’ve pieced some info together  they maybe can point someone in the right direction. If you have a ior radio you have to have onstar for this to work. A new screen is required, ior and iOS/T radios are not the same. You will need an adapter harness of some sort. I used a speaker break out harness from metra. Some wires move between the two connectors. 2 or 3 wires have to be ran to the onstar module on the driver side of the dash. A new Ivds cable is required. Optional but I ran the wires to the cluster for audio info to display. That is as far as I got with the upgrade. I was able to get the radio to power on and display info in the cluster but was not able to get the screen to come on or the steering wheel controls to work. So I got audio info but couldn’t control the radio any.

      AUX switch install

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      For anyone following, this is what I have deduced from this forum - and my very specific niche case. Please do let me know if you see me going in the wrong direction here. For context, I have a 16 sierra 1500 w/t. Has TC and Cargo light switches. Removed the switch to find the X1 and X2 of the S48A connection populated with wires (x1 10-14, and x2 1-5).   Took photos of the X61A-X5 to find the wires from S48A-X1 land here at their respective pins (10, 11, 17, 23 on the X5). Was hopeful that this means my X51A fuse box has the appropriate pins... No cigar. So now I will be routing wires from the rear of the X61A-X1 to the engine bay and to their respective negative relay triggers. Please see to the diagram. If any has insight as to where the S48A-X2 pins 4 and 5 land that would be awesome.   Note: please disregard fuse sizes. Main fuse will like be 25A, all mini bus fuses will likely be 10-15A   Cheers

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

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

      By superdave160 · Posted

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.
