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 haven't personally purchased this yet, but this is the website that is referenced in the Youtube install video by Donslife.

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.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?
