What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[67RS427]

Are you happy with your QA1 stuff? I was looking into them when I had my S10. Heard very mixed opinions on their dampers.

The only thing I can compare it to is the stock suspension which had blown out air shocks in the rear and the Bell Tech stuff... It is an amazing ride compared to those. I don't see how it can be bad, you have so much adjustment with the shocks it's just time to tune it how you like the ride. When I first had them in it was very bouncy but after some tweaking to the shock valving it rides like it's on rails... I also don't think the front tires are lifting as much now I have control over the rebound which is the main reason I went with a double adjustable shock. My front tires were lifting off the ground at the track. Still might need to chain it down but it rides so much better it's not even funny...

Mechman finally arrived so putting that in and my 2 AGM's again, new plug wires and new body seals, body seals I'll probably do tomorrow and let them warm up in the sun first

Does it change anything from a functional stand point or is it just a new lay out???

I have to be honest... I have only had the option to use AA for a short period of time, since installing the Kenwood... so far I am not a fan... there's not much there that i would use.

it changes the layout, and gives ease of functionality instead of having to maneuver thru different menus it's all on the same page, if you are on waze and listening to sirius it now gives you a pop up of the song artist and title when the song changes, and there is now a small button menu to play/stop/pause music in the corner, I haven't messed with too much yet just did the change this afternoon, thought i was going to have to wait for the update to push thru to the phone, but I asked the google assistant by voice "how do I update android auto" and it told me about the menu that is there now that was not just a couple days ago. so far it's much better

Wireless Apple CarPlay FTW.

Got it in, turned everything on that I could, it kept the amps in the positive however the temps were much lower today than they have been, I insulated both battery's so maybe that might help a little, got the plug wires installed, it's running smooth I need to take it for a drive and warm it up and see if does anything different

I had my first experience with CarPlay last week in the rental. It was unintentional- I just plugged my phone in to charge and all this cool shit started happening. Do want.

When you rent a car, do you ever look at the names of phones that people have sync’d to the car? I have seen some very interesting ones. I always try and delete my phone before returning as I don’t know what kind of contact info gets saved.

It won’t save anything except the name of your phone. Apple is probably the safest ecosystem out there.

I’ve used it on and off for a couple years but always hated the fact you had to plug in the phone so I fell in the habit of using Bluetooth because it’s wireless. Until the latest HU I installed in The Beast- wireless CarPlay, finally available in only a few aftermarket units and not even in any American OEM cars yet. It’s in a few European luxury cars so far but that’s it. It connects via WiFi for a high enough data transfer. I love it, now when I get in I don’t even have to take the phone out of my pocket. Everything I need to do with my phone is available on the HU touchscreen. And it’s immediate too, it’s up and running as fast as the radio would come on. Super highly recommended.

I noticed the names in the list when I synched my phone but didn't really read through them. I don't think it saves contact info. I think it just accesses them if you permit it to.

This explains why the awesomeness didn't occur when I went to synch my phone. I realized it four days later during the drive home when I plugged it into the USB. I recall your reports of CarPlay in your thread and, between that and this, I'm really wanting it. I really like that basic Pioneer touchscreen I put in the Tahoe not long ago because it had just that- the basics I use and wanted. But now I've tasted blood...

I find that I don't use CP really much at all now. I thought it was cool in the beginning but there isn't much it does for me that the head unit (in my non-Tahoe) doesn't already do while using Bluetooth or plugging the phone in. But I'm sure it may benefit others who use it differently.

My first experience with CP was the exact same as yours. Plugged my phone in to a rental that had it.

Google maps full screen, phone book, fullscreen control of your music, messaging, etc...

Yeah I think people who drive more than me benefit from it. I typically ignore my phone once I start driving and I rarely use Nav, though when I do the factory nav seems to have worked just fine.

Body seals are super easy to do, I thought I was going to have fight them, lol the whole piece just sits In a slot from the bottom of the front window to the top of the rear door, the rear door section is the only part with any adhesive
