Just a random picture of the wife's new Yukon.

We have a used 2021 Yukon Denali we purchased in 2023 and love it. 20K towing miles so far. Nice to see you're progress and that you like yours as well.

One of the 1st things I did was pop the SD card (in center console) thinking it was like USB/songs? not realizing it was nav and this corrupted the system. We bought a new SD and this fixed the nav except... once in a while we'll get a 'SD card error' but it clears on it's own.

When we first got it, it took a long time to learn about all the features - there so many details to these newer rigs. We weren't aware/didn't not even try 1/2 of them before paying so we're glad everything is working.

We tow/camp and semi-off-road explore with ours which has lead to some tree branch scratches down the side on some of those rougher tracs. Got a buffing kit but haven't tried it yet

I've moved my way up to a innova 7111, it does pretty much everything that a tech2 would do on the older generations, except connect to techline.
if you check ebay daily you can end up grabbing one for like $200. the innova 7111 has free updates for life. it updates via wi-fi or usb and works with all the newer vehicles

Have you used that on your suburban? Only asked because it’s the same gen as my Yukon. I see a 7111 on eBay for 300 right now

Yes I have used it on all 3 of ours, it's going to work on pretty much anything unless it's something exotic
I turn it on at least every couple months and there's always a new update, it's connected to my wifi and it's ask's if i want to install the update.
so you can decline and do it later if you needed to use it right away. most updates seem to take around 5-10 minutes at the most. One took like 20 minutes but I think that was a whole system update

Snagged one for $250 thanks
