Thanks again for the reply and the info. Wish I had run into you a little while ago. I just bought a Continental VCIM from a 2010 as I was told that the newer ones needed adapters so they weren’t a straight swap. I paid a little more than you’re asking too. I am definitely going to check out the...
Thanks for the reply. My truck is an 08 with Bose. What is the module you mentioned? Will it allow me to steam mushroom as well? Also, I’d this VCIM located below the radio stack and what’s the easiest way to access it fit replacement? Thanks again
Thanks justfishing. I’ve never even seen one on a battery that I can remember. Didn’t know if these trucks had a factory hose or something that I was missing.
So I bought the Exide Sprinter Max battery at Home Depot today. I noticed that it has a vent elbow coming out the side of the battery near the negative post. I can rotate it 360 degrees. My Tahoe is new to me but I’m not the original owner. Is there supposed to be some sort of factory vent tube...
Wsteele that’s a very logical and well thought out post. I appreciate it and think I’m going to grab one of these from HD. Still would love to hear some first hand experiences from anyone who bought one. Thanks again
Anyone here running one in their truck? Any good? The price is right at Hone Depot. It’s a regular flooded battery not AGM or spiral cell but the cost is a fraction of those. Anyone have experience with these? Thanks
I’ve been searching possibilities to add Bluetooth to my 08 Tahoe LT with Bose and no Nav. I came across a few threads about using a VCIM from a newer trick to get Bluetooth for the phone. Does this still work? I read that there are a few different makers of these VCIM modules and some said the...
Have you noticed any difference, better or worse, in the range you’re getting with the new remotes? As far as the printing goes, I’m not sure if my 08 can do the glass or hatch pop with 2x presses or if one long press is required.
If OnStar was smart they would create a plan that allows only the smartphone app features alone and charge like $6 or $8 a month. I think they would get a ton of subscribers. I think the current $15 plan price point is a deal breaker for a lot of people.
I read somewhere that this option is only available from a certain model year onward. I seem to remember it being 10 or 11 onward, but I’m not sure. Still though, at $15 a month that’s $180 a year and it doesn’t take long to get up to the cost of a full blown system installed.
So there’s a company called Boost Auto Parts, with whom I have never done business, that sells the newer rectangular style key fobs for use on our platform trucks. Does anyone know if they do any modifications to get these to work or if they’re just plain oem remotes? If they’re not modified...
TollKeeper great info once again. If the quality is as good or better than the included mic on these Bluetooth kits then this adapter is a great alternative.
Thanks again guys. The overlays sound like a good low cost solution. As far as using the OnStar mic, that sounds like a stealth solution. Is the OnStar mic good quality? Where did you see the adapter for it? Thank you
How much was the Tech 2 and where did you buy it? Are there different versions? It seems Ike it might be a justifiable buy for owners of these trucks if it’s priced reasonably and gives true dealer level diagnostic and programming capabilities.
Kbuskill and TollKeeper thank you both for the great information. I like both ideas. Have you guys used the overlays? Do they look good when done and do they last? Is any one brand better than another? I have the exact issue on my radio and HVAC controls. As far as Bluetooth, that adapter looks...
Thanks for the replies guys. What price range would I be looking in to get a unit like you recommend with all of the needed adapters? I assume these have an optional backup camera as well. That’s a feature I would like. Thanks again
RPO codes sticker from the glove box. Is there a chart somewhere that I can use to cross reference this to see all of the options and equipment on this vehicle? Thanks
