I would like to add a backup camera to my Denali's GPS system display. Can it be done? who makes it in the aftermarket? What programming issues do I have to overcome if any?

KoolAID is correct. I am also doing this mod, but I will be taking it one step further. Basically, I will be putting in a spliter and and making it a TV screen so that my DVD will be able to be watch thru it as well.

 

I'll let you know how mine turns out.

 

By the way, this part is expensive. I will be able to get a few at a discounted price as long as I can get a few together.

 

E-mail me if you guys are interested. The Price, the last I heard, will be $350, but I'll have to confirm it still with him.

Regular price is $375

THIS IS JUST A THEORY!! I would venture a guess that the DVD map disks have a pre bootloader signature that the NAV see's to verify that it is an acceptable disk to play. It only runs this check if the disk that is entered is indeed a DVD, not a CD. If this is the case, it would most likely be in an unrecognizable format that could not be transfered in a 1:1 copy of the disk (very similar to how PS2, PS1, XBox games work). This is an experiment i plan on runnng in the very near future. The DVD map disks are dual layer dvd's. Until recently, a 1:1 copy of a dual layer DVD was not possible. I have recently purchased a dual layer DVD burner and one of the first things im gonna do with it is try to burn the DVD map disk. One of two things will happen.....1, it will work with no problem and play fine. 2, it will not play at all. If it does play, then there is something on the disk that IS transferable upon a 1:1 copy, and should be easy enough to figure out what it is and possibly learn how to apply that to a burned DVD. The problem is then that there are no DVD controls on the head unit like "PLAY", "RW", etc. If it does not play, then the bootloader is most likely encrypted, or non transferable upon a 1:1 copy. Either way, i will let you know soon enough. If it does work.....and i am able to copy and make the map disk copies work........hmmmmm. On a totally different note does anyone know how much DVD map disks are going for on E-bay? :cheers: WHAT!?...what your thinking now is illegal, and i would never consider doing that, absolutely not.

well, the verdict is in, and i was able to duplicate the MAP disk in its entirety using a blank DVD+r DL. Made an ISO of the disk, popped it in the dual layer burner, burned it at 4X speed, and BINGO perfect 1:1 copy of a version 2 MAP Disk. Seems I have an extra MAP disk now.... :cheers:

Backup cameras just make a lot of sense. My wife has one on her Honda Odyssey, and it's great. If GM can put backup cameras on Denali's and Escalades with the image being visible on the nav screen as a factory option, why can't they offer it on the new HD trucks? I was thinking of adding one to my "03 Denali, but I'll probably get a new "08 GMC 2500HD SLT with all options. Why doesn't GM offer a backup camera? It would sure help when hitching up the trailers! I want it to work seemlessly on the nav screen that's already there, not on an aftermarket screen.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
