Also, the more i look at the comparison photos, the more i'm pretty sure this can work. Keep in mind, even after transferring the internals around, the IC will need to get sent off the WAMS to get programmed. And depending on the donor your got, it may not work. I spoke to WAMS prior to ordering If you are like me, and are looking to also add carplay at the same time, ONLY a 2016 IC will work for you. That has to do with the programming on the tech savvy side of things which i'll be relying on WAMS for so that everything works after the fact. But assuming my half of the plan works, this will be a worthwhile project for me to have one of the only properly done Esky ICs on the planet. Kinda like how my 18 ram is one of the only handful in existence to have factory blind spot monitoring. Sometimes manufacturers just don't offer everything you want, so you have to rifle through their parts bins to get it.
If you have a Ram, then you know I would KILL to have the towing data screen they have. Way more info and super helpful.

My truck has CarPlay, so it would need ONLY a 2016 IC?

The only issue I see with swapping the internal parts is the icons on the Escalade cluster are wider ie , indication lights …I also found this , it’s $$ but I do t see a suburban option…

I've seen those as well. My guess is they are all cheap Chinese junk. And i don't know how well they will work with adding AA and carplay as well as running the HUD


Also. In other news...... always check your packages when they arrive. I sat this to the side. And waited for the other part to show up. Just opened the box and found out they shipped the wrong effin part.... guess I'll see if they'll take care of it or if I'm effed
