After all the reading here and the confusion of which navigation unit will work with what type of systems I have found a great alternative I think. A company named Original Entertainment Media (OEM) www.oeradio.com is offering a navigation unit that looks factory. :sigh: The unit features bluetooth, dvd playback, a SD card slot, reverse camera input, RF remote control, the option to add a second screen that others can view while you still listen to the radio. I have ordered one and expect to get it in the middle of next week. I purchased it from Car Electronics World www.carelectronicsworld.com/GM-5301N.aspx for $999.99. Which I think is a good price for all the features you get and do not need any additional cables, lock boxes, or interfaces.

 

The sales rep answered all my questions easily. This unit is full plug and play. It will bolt up just like the original radio, the factory wire harness will plug directly into the back with no adapters or cutting of the wire. You will retain all the fetures of the factory system like chimes and onstar.

 

I will let you know more once I get it. :dunno:

I looked into those. They have not been out too long. Crutchfield used to carry the one for the new 07-08's, but it's discontinued on their Web site. Don't know why.

Actually the one that Crutchfield discontinued was an older model (5100). This one would only work on vehicles up to 2006 / 2007 based on if that model had a redesign. Crutchfield says they plan on carrying the new models but do not know when they will start stocking them.

 

Yes these are new but the company has been around for at least ten years and the reviews I read say they are known for quality noy quanity. I also read that they are aiming more toward dealers than retailers. So that you can get a better radio when you buy that new vehicle and not have to pay OEM prices.

I wish they made one for my 03! I'd be on that in a heartbeat!

 

They have two universal units. one looks like a double din and the other looks to be a single din flip up.

I think he got the wrong part #. Here is the one for the Sierra.

 

 

Sierra Part No

 

One question I have. They say you need a CNP200UCTM tuner for sat radio, but I can not find it anywhere in their catalog. How much would this add to the cost. Plus the cable you need also.

He probably just linked to the wrong one, the other one looks the same and is the same price.

 

 

Well all I have some bad news. The company has gone under is no longer shipping units. Seems they have lost their financial backers due to the economy. I called the company today that I was buying it from to check on the shipping status and after being on hold for about ten minutes the guy comes back on and say that the company never shipped it due to going under. I asked when they were planning to tell me and he say that they were expecting a unit from a different manufacture tomorrow and if it worked the same they were going to just send me that one. Needless to say I cancelled my order and will never do business with them again. Sorry to get your hopes up. The salesman said the name of the one they were getting in is made by a company called Motevo. I will let you know if it seams realistic this.

Well guys, I contacted the Motevo rep here in the Northeast in regards to the OEM style radios they make.

To install a NAV/DVD factory looking radio in my 06 Silverado LT3 with the bose system, it would be $1496, including lan harness and steering wheel control harness. The factory harnesses do not work on their radios.

For that, I'll buy a factory Delphi :-(

i would say just go with this pioneer seems to be one of the best i have seen and at this price you cant beat it... you get a great nav unit, dvd player, bluetooth, etc. for a fraction of the cost. just wish it integrated with onstar somehow(or does it?) http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/navigationgps.aspx

 

pioneer 900BT or the 90BT

 

I picked up my AVIV F90Bt for $604 shipped, with the steering wheel hookup and interfaces to work with onstar its was total of around 750-800.

      Gas fill door

      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.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
