Installed a "Tesla Style" infotainment in my 2022 Silverado LTD. This one is from Aucar. It's an Android 13 based operating system that retains the factory Chevy MyLink/GMC IntelliLink, but addes the Android OS features. Pretty unique and cool, but it comes with a hefty price tag. Aucar sent me this unit to install, test and review. Below is my in-depth installation video with feature review at the end. Enjoy

Great video! You shared a lot of good information about this head unit.

Don's Life on YouTube also got one of these sent to him and installed in his 21 Sierra AT4. So far he only did an install video and is going to be posting an actual review and use of it. They claim it works in place of the 7" IOR radios. I'm not sure how the climate controls work since they are very different in the Work Truck and Custom Trims vs the LT and above dual zone controls.

Yes I saw his video too. I go in depth on the features of the unit near the end of my video you can zoom ahead to 27 minute mark to see it in action.

That big screen is not for me there is way too much going on. Unless it dims down at night it has to light up the inside of the cab. To big and looks out of place.

It does dim, and there is a night mode that darkens the interface.

My unit is shipping now, I'll share my experience once received. For us that want an updated look to our interior it seems like a great upgrade. With any new technology I'm sure there will be quirks.

There are 2 seperate versions. One for manual ac controls /7" and one for automatic ac control /8"

      Fluid Change Questions

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
