I'm thinking to installing one in my 06 Silverado. The whole install will include the AVIC-Z1, the 6 Disk in dash DVD Changer (XDV-P6), Bluetooth, IPod, XM, XM Traffic, Rearview Camera, and Onstar-RAP-Stearing Wheel control integration.

 

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these components and if you have any thoughts/comments. The two specific questions that I can think of are, will I be able to use the factory XM antenna with the Pioneer unit (GEX-P10XMT), and does anyone have a color rearview camera that they would recommend? Pioneer has one (ND-BC1 but it looks a little bulky.

 

I will also add an amp, swap out the speakers, and add a subwoofer behind the rear seat. Lastly I am thinking of adding headrest monitors to provide video for the kiddies in the back seat. I currently have no preference and would like to know who is happy with the components that they have.

I've got the AVIC-D1 and use the ND-BC1, the steering wheel interface with the factory controls, XM, Nav, iPod interface and TV Tuner. I loop it all back through the overhead DVD and visa-versa so you can see DVD's on the AVIC as well as being able to see TV and Nav on the factor overhead screens in my 2006 Tahoe.

 

I use the ND-BC1 camera and it works amazingly in low light conditions. It's a very good camera.

I have the AVIC-N2 in my Z with all the "extras" that go with it - Nice unit

Unless you live in NYC, LA or tend to visit such areas frequently - forget about the XM Traffic - save your $$'s. I travel frequently & have not had it "help" as I'm not in their "area".

 

I've been told that the Z-1 is even a better unit than the N-2 so enjoy!

I have the z-1 and it is a great unit, with lots of features. I hear pioneer is going to come out with a better unit soon. It fits fine in my 2005 silverado, I just had to break some of the stock supports behind the head unit. If you have the newer style headunit, which I think 2003 does, you should be good. avic411.com is a good source on the unit itself. Hope this helps.

      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.
