i see 15 pages of people that have done this swap. are you the first that it didnt work for? sorry to hear that. sounds like my luck. i am going to be trying this on my wifes acadia this weekend. just got the wheel today. keeping my fingers crossed.

 

 

Well, I just got around to doing this and guess what. Mine don't work either. They light up, but they don't function. Anyone have any updates? Will a different factory radio work?

My factory CD player (part # 25790298) was not compatible with stereo controls, and after having purchased the new wheel, that just didn't sit well with me. It was the one without XM. So I bought a factory CD player that is MP3/XM capable (part # 25782841) off of eBay for a decent price, and now they work as they should. Also, after I installed the new radio the door lock chime and blinker chime changed tones. :D

 

Anyway, I just wanted to update this thread for future readers who may encounter this problem. :thumbs:

Hi guys. Yes, I read the entire thread :lol:

 

I just bought a 2010 LT. I'd like to add the steering wheel audio controls (I added the DIC before I left the lot at the recommendation of the salesperson).

 

The steering wheel part number I found on GMPD is 25853070. It says it's for '09-'10. I haven't seen that part# listed in this thread. I'm debating whether to buy new (about $177 w/shipping) or to be patient and search eBay. Is 15917933 (that everyone seems to be using) compatible with the '09-'10? This thread goes back a few years so I'm uncertain if there have been any changes that would affect the newest models.

 

Has anyone determined the reason why some of these installations didn't work? I'd hate to spend the money only to find out my truck isn't compatible. I have the single disc head unit with XM.

 

TIA.

Did you have to have the dealer program your VIN into the new radio?

The 15917933 worked on my 2010 Sierra SL (truck came with cruise, single cd, no xm, and 6 speaker non-bose). Plug and play. You may not have the wiring in the steering column though. Do you have cruise? If you do, it will have the wiring for the steering wheel, if you don't, it MAY NOT have the wiring.

Yes. The new radio had to be unlocked. Cost me $40.

Yes, my truck has cruise. I'm interested in buying a wheel from a member here but it's the wrong color leather. Do I understand correctly that I can unbolt the "guts" of his wheel which contains the harness, switches, etc and retain the wheel that's already in my truck?

 

TIA.

Don't think so. If your wheel does not have the switches already, then it does not have the cut-outs for them. You can get the proper wheel for under $200 brand new. I got mine from Gmpartsclub for $178 plus shipping ($25 shipping to Canada).

I've read some folks hint at the possibility, but no confirmation. Is it easy to change the inserts? I have the titanium inserts and love them, but if I could score a black wheel for a good price and switchover the inserts, I will. I figure it would open up my options.

How do you even know which color inserts come with the wheel? When I search for the wheel on GMPD (2010 Silverado), the only options are Ebony, Titanium and Cashmere.

 

I assume this is referring to the color of the leather. I'm guessing there is only one insert color in 2010???

You can tell from the GM part number, each color has a different number. The know the leather on the black and titanium wheels are black with just different color inserts. I haven't seen the cashmere.

So you're saying the colors listed in the search results on GMPD (Ebony, Titanium and Cashmere) describes the color of the insert and not that of the leather?

Black

Titanium

Cashmere

It seems that the Cashere is a different color leather while the other two are not. Full disclosure, the black steering wheel picture is not the leather wrapped version, but it looks exactly the same.

Thanks Ferris...my interior is listed as Ebony on the build sheet. Because of this, I would have ordered the Ebony wheel (I'm assuming this is what you've posted as "Black") but my wheel clearly matches the Titanium photo.

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

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
