I don't think I will do the Nav upgrade but want to put a better AMP in to replace the Non Lux Bose I got in my 2004 Yukon XL. If Linda does not come up with a used Lux, what amp offers good sound and ease of installation/interface with the Bose, Can you hook tem up in tandem?

How do you tell a Bose Lux vs. non-Lux? I have an 04 Yukon XL with all of the hot options (except NAV). How do I tell?

 

If I have a non-Lux, how hard is the transisiton to Lux and what does it buy me?

Look at thread in this same section titled " Nav and six disk changer in a Silverado" and you will find 11 pages about your questions.

Likely, you don't have the Lux amp as OEM, unless you have the Y91 on the sticker (glovebox).

 

Other indicators are: A migrange in the EQ, "Spacious" in the audio sound selections AND the noise cancelling volume. (Not the speed-compensating one).

You will likely need to change out your HU to work with the amp. GM TIS may not have the combo with your VIN to permit the HU reprogram. Look for someone who may have removed a UB1 or similar HU from a luxury vehicle to install a nav. Then all you have to do is install the Lux amp, rewire the connectors on it, plug in/install the proper HU and clear it's theftlock.

 

Confusing, but you can do it.

 

Same type radio.. ie UB1 ~ UB1.

You may be able to work around that by installing your HU in a lux vehicle. (Denali/Escalade), use their VIN, Clear the theftlock, and have the dealer get the TIS connection to download the files to reprogram your radio that way. Then put theirs back, put your's back, reset the theftlock. (Presuming you have the Y91 amp installed .)

 

Not so easy, and certainly tricky. Note the Nav radios don't program that way.

 

Not only that, it was only explained to me. I hadn't tried it!

 

Just find a similar Lux-version HU like I mentioned prior...

Hey Sperry or Linda et al. Any suggestions on an aftermarket amp if no Lux's become available? New from dealer the Lux is $650.00. Thanks. Boomer

i dont think you can really change the amp in those because im not mistakin they are really small unless you want to rerun your speakers 2 a new amp.. thats prob the way i would run! i would prob get a 300/2 Jl audio amp.. they are costly but nice! you'll never have to work about amp failure... but i know nothing about Nav systems yet i will be getting one soon for my safari...

 

good luck!!

Dealer's, I expect that price. GM PartsDirect:

But they rip you for shipping and the return policy stinks (if they even have one).

 

#15199884 $298.82

#15112662 $309.60

 

These don't come up:

 

#15199992 X

#15114445 X

#15191601 X

#15054675 X

 

My # (15199992) was discontinued, so I hadn't reviewed the "best" amp, or the suggested replacement at this point.

 

You would need the NON-Lux for aftermarket amps. The Lux HU's need to comm with the Lux amp, and has to be installed for an interface to work the aftermarket unit.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
