Massive Upgrade: Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra Radio Upgrade, Install, & Review for 2015-18 Models!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Today we're upgrading the factory radio in our 2015 Chevy Silverado! The OEM radio unit had quite a few problems, and Dave was starting to get annoyed with constant screen flicker and changing between menus on its own.
To bring this truck into a more modern era, Dave opted to upgrade with AuCar Auto's 14.5" Tesla display. Not one to "cheap out" on upgrades Dave was very particular in using this product for his truck, after all his truck, Ruby, is his baby.
You can get a 14.5" radio like this here:
Amazon: amzn.to/4cKr9Af
AUCar Auto: aucarauto.com/product/tesla-s... (Discount code: twin)
Use promo code: twin at check out to receive $50 dollars off of your order if purchsed through AUCar Auto!
This new radio includes the latest updates for Android Auto and Apple Carplay! These features can also be used wirelessly, which is super convenient because it automatically connects to your phone when you start up the truck. The new radio comes with several other features including an optional built-in GPS, cell service, auxiliary back-up camera or front camera input.
Dave will be following up with an updated video about how this new radio holds up. In the mean time if you have any questions let us know in the comments!
We hope you enjoy the video, and please hit that "Like" button & "Subscribe" to the channel to help support us!
Keep Building,

    The problem is flickering between screens doesn’t necessarily go away because it’s an issue with the truck’s computer, but the flickering definitely does not affect the new headunit because it acts as a bypass to be original radio system.

Then when I try to KZread or etc, I have issues having sound. I had to adjust the normal dash appearance because it was shifted hard to the right and off center. They were great on customer service and gave me the code to go into the locked settings and adjust that.

    You commented on how you wanted to eventually upgrade to the heated/cooled seats, do you know that's actually possible if you do not actually have heated seats right now. There is a lot of back-and-forth on blog posts about if you can or cannot. I also have seen something about a driver seat memory issue if you change over. Would be super curious to see a video of you guys installing those, the screen and the seats are definitely an upgrade I want.

Everything looked great at start, even steering controls are fine but when I connected my phone to CarPlay, I get no sound from any CarPlay app. They show that they are playing but not sound. Checking my phone, it connect with Bluetooth and then most time shows disconnected but CarPlay is still on the screen. Now the open door indicators are reversed? Any chance this can be caused by picking the wrong choice when trying to get the screen centered? (GM has 9 modes to choose from)

    Check to verify that you’re using the aux input from the audio selection, and that you have the aux cord that was supplied in the kit plugged into the aux port, located in your jumpseat or in your center consul, depending on the model truck you have. The new radio acts as if it’s a auxiliary input. If you have an LT trim model truck you should have the option to select the aux inputting from the dash computer. We hope that works.

    11 ай бұрын

    Yes, it does work with the own back up camera. The video highlights the installation, and it’s plug and play. The OEM camera is digital and a signal through the trucks computer. The quality is slightly diminished because they change the signal from digital to analog on the unit. You’d get a higher quality picture if you use an aftermarket camera and install it to the audio video pins on the unit.

    We only had one issue (unit turned off and we needed to restart it by unplugging it.) after that we’ve had it for almost 2 months now with no other issues. The wireless CarPlay was the biggest change, and it’s been great to have. Verify with the manufacturer before purchasing that it will work on your 2014 truck. It seems they changed some of the language on their website to reflect it’s made for 2015 and up.

    There are quite a few variables with what you’re asking. Not knowing the root cause of the issue with your truck, and not knowing anything about the screen you found on Amazon (which is most likely different from this one) it’s hard to say if this would help. The kind of radio replacement we installed here, acts as a sort of aux bypass to the main system. If you can control the trucks, audio inputs from the screen on the instrument cluster there’s a good chance that you could bypass the issue with your truck’s, current radio and set your truck to use auxiliary audio which is how this radio replacement is used, controlled, and accessed.

    I bought and installed this unit and its great... except the sound output. I have a pronounced ground loop (whine/buzz/static) that gets louder with RPM of the engine. It is related to the Aux input on the factory radio (that the tablet uses for sound to the truck). I am trying to diagnose it now. Has anyone run into this problem with this unit and found a fix?

    Make a second ground that is bare metal and run it to the radios ground or if you have amps and a system run a better ground to the amps and they say to make sure your rca cables and power wires are ran on different sides of the truck. If that doesn't work and you have amps and a system run a hi/low adapter to the speaker outputs of the radio and then use the rca cables and plug it into the hi/low adapter instead of the radio. Good luck, engine noise is a pain in the ass to deal with!

    About the same, but the quality of the audio wasn’t why we did the upgrade. The added apple car play was one of the greatest benefits. The original screen would change and do things on its own as well. This replacement stopped that.
