    2021 Tahoe Z71 disabled after software update

    I agree 100%. I spent 28 years in the software and hardware industry, at the highest level of server consulting and support - and had a 100% success rate of production database, messaging and storage support history across multiple industries. The difference between me and colleagues with career...

    Civilianizing the '15 Tahoe PPV

    So you will be able to integrate the radio controls into the steering wheel and the color popup touch screen into the dash? How about rear A/C controls in center console? Rear window controls? Trailer brake option? Mirror turn signals? I got the folding part to work, but not the turn signals...

    Civilianizing the '15 Tahoe PPV

    I was going through the storage and found my original PPV wheels. Is there any demand for these?

    No start with key, starts with remote start?

    FWIW, my OEM dual battery 2015 PPV (I know, I know - different year, spec & model) did the exact same thing. Remote start fine but no key start. It turned out to be a battery issue. Replaced the primary battery and the issue was resolved. However as I also only use the remote start I ended up...

    No. I never pursued the issue further. I believe a person with the correct GM flashing device can supposedly enable the switch circuit.

    Civilianizing the '15 Tahoe PPV

    I sent a buddy over to the forum and he said all the pics are gone. Sorry about that, I will try find them and upload again. On a positive note, truck is at 60,000 miles and we still love everything about it. I was going though the shed on the weekend and found the PPV wheels. Anyone want...

    What I did was extend the PPV USB to the USB in the center console and the 110V power outlet to the 110V power outlet on the rear of the center console.

    Anyone ordering an 2018 PPV

    Brett is spot on. And because of the fleet purchase path it is not possible to buy these vehicles without the discount. I tried. I was willing to pay sticker to get a 2015 PPV built to order, but eventually GM asked for the department PO# or badge number to get the build on the schedule - of...

    Tired of your iO3 radio? Call these guys.

    OK - so they figured out all the steps then. In 2015 when I spoke to MVI they had not yet done a PPV iO3 to iO6 upgrade but figured it should be relatively simple. $2K sounds about right, I seem to recall GM parts alone was about $1800.00, so figure at least another $500+ for the custom pieces...

    Anyone ordering an 2018 PPV

    Perhaps the gentleman is one of the qualified class :) LEO, Firefighter/VFD, EMT or Game Warden. These are all qualifying professions. If not, please let me know your dealer as I will be placing an order for a 2018 as a civilian as well. :)

    upgrade

    The real advantage is the active handling, ABS, TC, shifting and power steering programming the PPV has. The cost and hassle may not net the same gains. But as a start try one of the online GM parts re-sellers. Check for PPV/SSV unique part numbers and components. https://www.gmpartsonline.net/
