it does look more like a gm set up than the first one you installed. did you notice any change in air out out from the vent being relocated

Yes, its more natural looking for sure. And I prefer the OEM HVAC controls over the virtual HVAC controls in the other one as well.

 

The new vent locations do not blow as powerful as the originals, adding two 90 degree bends will do that to air flow. But the seller has informed me to add some foam on the back side of the air vents where the ducts connect, and that is supposed to direct more airflow out the vents. I just need to take the shell off and do that.

Small update a couple weeks later. got a new harness that enables the full capability of the unit when using the factory Chevy screen. Very pleased!

Installed one in my Silverado this past weekend.  I have 2 questions for you, one.  How the heck do stop the factory rear camera from switching to an aftermarket one?  I will see my rear camera for like 5 secs then it switches to the tablet one.

 

How do you connect the carplay?  I click the green icon and it just says verifying connection and never loads.  I can not do it wired or wireless.  I am plugged into the single usb.  I have the aux connected to audio out rcas and plugged into the aux plug in the console. Am I missing something?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Happy Holidays!

I strongly suggest you join the Z-Innovations Facebook Group. It has a lot of really good support.

 

There should be a setting you have to turn off for the backup camera.

 

Not sure about the carplay issue. It worked for me on the first try.

 

I actually no longer have the truck in my videos anymore because my company shuffled vehicles and that truck went to a different person. So I can't really trouble shoot for you. But definitely join the group and someone from Z-innovations will get you sorted out.

Does anyone here have this installed that installed it in a truck that had the 7 inch screen?

 

I was shipped a unit that is missing the adapter cable for the 8 inch screen and need it. Please inbox or reply here if you have that cable for the 8 inch screen leftover. Nate, is on vacation and is going to be out for a while and I want to get my system installed ASAP if possible. Thanks in advance!

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
