I don't see many posts about changing or upgrading the media receiver/radio in these trucks. I have a 2022 Custom with the 7" receiver and really dislike how Google or Android Auto blocks incoming texts and the back up camera is nothing to get excited about either. Would an upgrade fix these issues? What about access to the vehicle settings that are done through the radio/screen?

Has anyone taken the plunge?   From what I can tell, if you have an IOR unit this might be the only option left,  I thought I had a saved a link for an upgrade from an IOR to full nav but I don't seem to be able to find it anymore.

My 23 Custom has the basic 7” screen and i absolutely hate it. I’ve read everywhere that you can’t upgrade a thing with the radios so seeing this spiked my interest…but $1,200 is a chunk without knowledge on how good this is

For those that hate the standard 7” screen. Why? Seems more than fine to me I dunno. I couldn’t care less about screens in vehicles though. In the house is a different story I have a 86” tv and a rippin atmos home theater.

I have the 7" in my '23 SLE.  I think it's absolutely great!  My iphone works great and I like the HVAC functions on the display. 

 

Everything is relative....

Prior to my new truck....I added a 6.2" aftermarket radio with Apple car Play to my '04 F350 ...I thought it was one of the best mods I did to that truck!!!🤣

You have HVAC controls functions on a 7 inch display?  I have and 8 inch on a LT model,  My HVAC will display but can not control them thru the display.

I did finally find the link for the upgrade from the IOR to IOU with Upgraded OEM Nav, see below:

19-22 Silverado Sierra IOR to IOU GPS Navigation Upgrade (infotainment.com)

 

it not cheap by any means but it is OEM.   I is not that we have two options now.

I can not control functions via display; functions only display status on screen.

We have an '21 acadia and a '23 sierra.  Both are upper trims.

Both can access and control HVAC settings from the screen.

(I just went out and verified the screen can do control -- we NEVER use the screen controls, so I wanted to be sure.)

 

IMO, needing to access a different screen to be able to run the HVAC is the stupidest thing the young designers  ever came up with.

 

Large (reasonably) buttons and knobs are the way to go.  

They are always always accessible without having to change screens. 

HVAC control is one of the things that gets full consideration when we select a vehicle. 

If it forces finding a screen or if it has tiny buttons/knobs, the vehicle gets removed from consideration. 

 

 

I also refuse to 'talk' to my vehicles.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
