One of the biggest reasons I wouldn't purchase any GM fullsizer was the interior. Once they updated it I purchased a 2022 Silverado 1500 Refresh 6.2L Z71 RST. Nearly 2 year later I picked up a 2024 2500 LTZ Z71 Duramax. What a great truck. Your updated infotainment system definitely helps bring the truck into the modern era.

@@jaybefishin4361 Yes, got it fixed. Screen works pretty well now! It wasn’t recognizing my factory stereo controls, settings, backup cameras, etc. Turns out it was just a bad cable. They send me a new one, swapped it out and it started working. After I swapped the cable the factory settings menu appeared but it was frozen. Just turn the truck off for like 20 minutes and come back, should start working. Also if the tablet screen ever freezes, try long pressing the screen with 5 fingers simultaneously to calibrate the touch screen. Also, AT&T couldn’t get their SIM card to support the device, so I had to use T-Mobile. Right now I just have it connected to the Wi-Fi built into my Chevy, but if I want to use CarPlay and have Internet at the same time and then I need to use the T-Mobile SIM card.

Thanks for the walk through, I just finished my install and want to add my thoughts on the unit. I purchased mine from eBay as they are all made in China and a modified Google pixel tablet. First this unit will never be as good as a factory OEM unit. This unit has many software quirks as Don stated & I have discovered. However I do like it, but it seems a little too big for the dash. The vertical orientation is not as good as if it were horizontal in my opinion but that's a dash layout issue. I find myself looking down with my eyes not on the road to adjust something because of that vertical format. To get the full potential from this you should purchase a sim card & data plan for the unit, an added expense. Good screen resolution and does add to the trucks overall appearance and functionality.

Please add this to the list with the devs. get rid of the timer or make it a switch. That would seal the deal for me for sure. I was shocked when I tried my 22 for a 20 and lost that function.

All apps due to the Bluetooth audio transmission lag will have you experiencing a delay. This isn’t a product defect, it is a technology limitation. If there was an analog 3.5mm output for the trucks that have 3.5mm auxiliary inputs, we could have no delay. Not all trim levels have this option. Try playing a video on your phone over Bluetooth to the vehicle’s sound system. You’ll experience the same delay. Different manufacturers and models can vary when it comes to this audio delay/lag.

I installed mine in our 2022 Silverado HD 3500 and the install went without any issues. A couple questions though... I noticed that if I am playing music thru Spotify or KZitem for example thru the Apps installed on the unit, if I go the vehicle console by selecting the Intouch icon the apps will stop playing. Is this an issue with the way its set up or just a limitation of the system? Also, when the system is set up the way you have shown for phone calls, If I answer a phone call by touching the answer icon on the screen the call is answered but the is no sound... if I answer the call by using the steering wheel buttons then the sound is fine. Again, is this just the way it works or do I have some setting incorrect. I also installed an ATT sim card from an extra phone we had and that makes this thing incredibly useful.

When you set up your bluetooth connectivity with the phone being secondary did you do that on initial setup? Or can you change after and still have no issues? I just want to make sure I set up properly.

What a great install video and now a great how to use video. That is awesome you figured out how to link the screen first and then your phone. How does it work when someone else drives the truck, does their phone link 2nd? Or is that a setting you have to select with everyone that links their phone to it? Does it have driver specific features? Like if you get in it and link your phone, you set up waze and XM. Then someone else drives it and links their phone and selects Google maps and carplay. Will it remember different drivers? Thanks

Yes wifi will still work from the truck. No this screen doesn’t support wired carplay (at least the one I reviewed. You can still run wired carplay to the stock system via the usb A or C ports, but it will only display in the console app like fm radio, SiriusXM, etc

Does the video and audio not match? Looks like there was a delay when Michael was talking. There is a slight audio/video delay when I pair my phone to Bluetooth and watch youtube on phone and audio from truck speakers is delayed a bit throwing off the sync. It looks like this was happening in this demo video. Can you confirm this happens or doesn't happen and video/audio is flawless and in sync? Ty.

How does CarPlay look on your screen? I just installed this and Android Auto is very low resolution making it unusable. This video was very informative as the packing has no manual. I'll be watching this video on my phone doing the things you are doing to learn it better. Initial impressions are not impressed for $1300 mainly due to my AA issue. May see about getting a sim card so I can use Google Maps on the device as well as Spotify.

@@Donslife I thought it looked pretty good from the video. Mine is just trash, like it looks to be made for a very small screen. Street names are unreadable, bad aliasing on roads and traffic conditions, small fonts that give you eye strain trying to see what it says exacerbated by the low resolution. Also, the Google Maps is off center when not using AA but the units built in Google Maps. When using Maps on AA, the view is so far away I have to zoom in every time, just a pain to use.
