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

[GTPprix]

Hey I currently have the 4 inch screen, and I believe the 2.0 module it does have my Chevy link. I want to upgrade to the 8 inch screen, and apple carplay, ( I don’t care really much navigation or xm radio ) wouldn’t apple car play have the MAPS option when you plug in your phone? 
But to the main question can I just get stuff like the 8 inch screen and module etc off eBay or a wrecked truck and send it the WAMS to program? 
And also If anyone can please list the parts I need for this big project please it will come in handy very much, thanks to you all hope y’all stay safe. 

Yup just contact is from the website and we can send you the parts list and numbers to use.

White auto and media?

Yes sir!

Well I was able to fix the connector for $0.  Had to drill the back plate off the connector to gain access to the solder joint, de-solder, strip wire, re-solder.  Everything works as it should with great reception

I have a 2016 Silverado that wasn’t so lucky and had the older 2015 HMI 2.0 unit without Apple CarPlay. Contacted Chad over at Coastal Flash regarding my situation and he provided and flashed a brand new 2.5 HMI unit with my VIN. Received it a couple of days later and it installed easily. Now I have a CarPlay. The pricing was very reasonable.

This doesn't pertain to my sierra but my wife has a 2016 Malibu with CP but does not have AA programmed.  How easy is it to get AA programmed to her HMI?

Drop us a line with her vin from the website I want to say hay they may still have been silverbox based at that point. Edit: I totally read this wrong we can fix that no problem.

So I bought parts for upgrade to a 2.0 4 inch screen with my link. However I do not have a back up camera I would like to ad one but I want it to make oem. Does anyone know how this can get done? Can this be done by programming?

Yup! Programming and add the harness and camera

Yeah I believe Phil Gamboa may sell the camera harness. You can get the tailgate camera from eBay for a decent price. I can also help you out with programming should you need it. Good luck!

Ok thank you! And when you say harness are you talking about the connector that goes right under the spare tire area?

Is it possible to have the square buttons on a GMC unit instead of the ugly round ones, when upgrading to AA/CP from a 2.0 to a 2.5?

Can a 2014 truck converting cluster, HMI and Radio use a 2017 cluster or does it need to be a 2016? Asking because I don't prefer the red color and I'd want to convert if possible.

Drop us a line from the website and we can go over everything to make sure its as perfect as possible  But the short version is we can definitely get you converted over properly to green/blue.
