Replacing 2.0 HMI module with 2.5 HMI module to add CarPlay/Android Auto to 2014-2015 Silverado

[woodyfriedt]

Just an FYI, dokus is out for a week.
I sent my module back to him, on my own dime, to have it updated, since it wasn't Android Auto ready. He should have received it last Friday.
Woke up today, to a refund of my original purchase. I messaged him and he said he refunded me because he didn't want me to have to wait the week.
Meanwhile, I'm out the second shipping cost, and no module.
I told him I wouldn't have shipped it back at my own cost if I wasn't expecting it back. That was the deal we had made last week.
Hopefully I can get this worked out when he gets back, but it's frustrating.
Sorry about the word wall, needed to vent.

That absolutely sucks. I just got all my parts in. I'll have this working (hopefully ?) this weekend. I can probably sort you out if he can't fix it.

I will commend the people offering the programming, it is certainly not easy.
 

This is why software engineers make big coin!! It’s a thankless occupation.

I appreciate everyone's patience. We are so close. I'm hoping to have it all sorted out here within the next day or two. Hang tight!

Hey Woody, I made this account to ask you, can you PM me Dokus ad details/username?  I'm having a tough time finding them at 99+15.

Also, any additional advice for adding Android Auto to my 2015 Silverado Z71 from those who have done it would be welcome.

Super interested for my 2015 Z71.  Thanks for checking into this.

A lot of info in this thread I'm trying to piece together. I have a 2016 silverado that didnt come with android auto/CarPlay installed. 

 

Does this mean I could just swap in a 2.5 HMI module to add the functionality?  Or would I need programming to.

Check to see if you already have a 2.5 HMI. If you do you should just need programming!

Thank you all for waiting... It's been a hell of a ride. Shop will be set up shortly. Until then, here's a sneak peek! Radio unlocks have officially been accomplished. Excuse the potato quality.

Awesone work! Can't wait to get started on this one.

What radio P/N should we shoot for? And I know it'll take some time to shakedown all the ins and outs, but did this remedy all the Siri/Android feedback issues?

The second you need a second guinea pig I can have my stuff shipped out, just give me a price and an address when the time comes.

My truck was one of the ones built during the shortage of the new updated hmi modules. So is the radio module ok as is, and I just need the upgraded and reprogrammed 2.5 hmi module?

 

What kind of money am i looking at for everything?

An HMI module pre-programmed from Dokus was about $115 shipped. And about 10 minutes of install time.

How do I contact Dokus? Does he have a website? Ebay seller?

Soon! Just working out some final kinks. HMI should be finished ASAP as well.
