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?

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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
