Recently installed the updated modules in my 2015 Yukon. The units themselves work perfect.  The Yukon does not have factory navigation. The Google maps seems to continue lose signal and reconnect.  Any suggestions?

Is it the bluetooth connection totally? Or is it just tje google maps losing connection?

[Bhenry6265]

I am running it with the cable.  Bluetooth is still on.  

[RACERX7775]

Just a thought....Bad/incompatible cable?? Had this happen with my HDMI to USB from my phone to my screen. Swapped to a different cable. Worked perfect.

[Bhenry6265]

No luck with cable.  It says "searching for gps signal". It comes in and out.  I took phone out of case also.  

[RACERX7775]

Hmmm. Unpair the phone? Then start over? Im reaching for ya... 

 

Did you swap the usb assembly in the center console to the new one?

[RACERX7775]

I think you need the new usb assembly. Its for a 16+ truck. The old ones wont work. Does your usb have an sd card slot? If it does, it wont work.

Did you had navigation before? I had issues with gps signals with my iPhone when it was placed close to the screen (like the front cup holders or inside the hidden compartment) when I’ve placed my phone on the center console or near the windshield it’s working just fine. Im

with a 2015 yukon myself which had factory nav before I’ve upgraded to CarPlay

I did not have factory navigation.  I have always had it in close proximity to screen.

Maybe it’s an interference from

the new module. Try a different location as see if it still happens. Good luck

Can you install some type of antenna?
