The new amps you buy have to be programmed. After the wiring changes are made, go to the dealer to get it programmed for your truck( Sierra Denali if a 1500, etc truck, Escalade EXT if an Avalanche). It will work perfectly after that, they come unprogrammed new. Also, do not forget about the Class II serial data wire connection to the amp.

A word of caution about programming....: This will solve the problem about 80% of the time, not in all cases however. If it was in a Tahoe, or Suburban....or a vehicle that has the option of having this NAV unit from the factory....then your odds go up considerably. The problem is that there is not a production vehicle from GMC, or CHEVY (through 2004) that has a UM8 option stock in a Pick up body style. I am pretty sure that even the sierra denali's dont have a UM8 option....only UC6 ( i may be wrong). The best way to be sure this MOD will work for you is to find an AMP that has been in a vehicle with the UM8 option and was removed while it was working. You can find them on E-bay, or at your local stereo shop where they have been removed for aftermarket equipment. You will get better $ deals from the local stereo shop. I have heard that programming works most of the time but it will cost you an hour of labor and most techs wont do it. Just want you to know all your options. Here is a document you can take into the dealer with you if your going to get it programmed. this will save you some time. You can substitute the platform for whatever you want as long as it a platform that supports a UM8 option. This example uses the Cadillac Escalade EXT.................................................

I have a question, I have the '04 2500HDSLT Crew Cab. I already have the upgraded sound system with amp and 6 disc changer along with XM and Onstar. I also have the rear entertainment system with DVD. What I was looking for was the ability to add a NAV system to it. I was hoping to have it fit in the space BELOW the Climate control center. I only have two storage spaces along with the Lighter and aux. outlet. (don't care if I lose these). I was hoping to not have to replace the whole existing unit to achieve this. Is this possible or is it a pipe dream?? Any help would be appreciated.

there are plenty of aftermarket systems that have custom bezels to do all kinds of different things. This was just a thread i started for guys (or girls) who wanted the factory navigation system in thier vehicle, and some info on how to get it up and running. Yes, there are all kinds of custom bezels to replace you pockets in the console. I dont have any links, but a few Google searches will turn up what you looking for im sure. Good luck.

that AMP i linked you to on E-Bay is the one you need......that is my auction, so i know it works for the NAV setup. Shoot me an E-mail later this evening and i will get you some documents that will make the small MODs to the AMP harness and changer harness easy to understand.

well, its 1:30 here and im at work....so i dont think there is a way in hell to get it to you by tomorrow. I think the best we could shoot for would be Monday at best.

I have a 2003 GMC Envoy unfortunatly i do not have the bose system. I've heard the nav system is still possible. I want it bad. Does anyone know what can be done? ANy info would be great.

I hear they have a NON-Luxury style NAV system now....however i have no experience with them. Not sure if that means you dont need the luxury AMP or if it means you dont need the BOSE system or both. Sorry

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.

      That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?
