    Old phone as dedicated GPS with a "twist" question

    So I have an IO5 radio, not ready to upgrade to I06. I use waze and google maps with pros and cons. I would "like" to have a permanent GPS and of course I have old phones that can work with those two apps in projection mode etc etc..... My question is, by using an "old" phone to act as...

    2016 Yukon SLE > Adding factory wireless charging?

    The 7's typically work, I guess lots of people are having issues with the 8s and 8+s....the 2018 version moved to a 3 coil design to solve the issue.

    2016 Yukon SLE > Adding factory wireless charging?

    So resurrecting this because I have some feedback as I just today got to opening up the back and removing the trim panel to see what's what. I got my service manuals about a week ago and having an SLE truck without it factory set up for wireless charging, I do not have this connector back there...

    XM Radio Station Artwork Showing On Your Screen??

    I've had multiple issues with the radio and USB operation where the track plays, music stops for like 20-30 seconds but the playhead indicator is still moving forward and then suddenly the audio starts playing at the pointer location 20-30 seconds later. This time the USB port behind the screen...

    XM Radio Station Artwork Showing On Your Screen??

    My 2016 Yukon XL is in the shop (again) and I have an Infiniti QX80 as a loner. It has an XM subscription active and I was listening to some stations and notice that station like XM43, XM42 (Backspins and the Joint) show active "cover art" as well as all the other info of the track etc. I've...

    WTH is up with the hidden USB Port SIM in 2018 Yukon?

    I use a 128GB sandisk usb flash drive formatted as FAT32. Works just fine in there and other ports too. If you are using playlists, ensure the drive path is set to relative in the software you use to create the playlist.....if your not sure, dump all playlists on the drive and just put the songs...

    [Android Auto] Waze -- Add waypoint when in projection mode

    I tried to use it without projection and I see the "add a stop" which I guess this is their version of a way point. It just doesn't show up on the projection screen. So am I missing something or is it just not there?

    [Android Auto] Waze -- Add waypoint when in projection mode

    I've gotten to like this app over Google maps in the Yukon. I've searched to see how to add a way point and it says to tap the ETA bar and then hit "Add stop". The other day I was navigating from Point A to Point B and realized I had some clothes I wanted to donate in the back of the truck so I...

    [Android Auto] Expert level usage?

    That is what I started to gather from the beginning. Hopefully they will start to expand it a bit going forward. Thanks for the feedback. Will be posting a very specific question outside the scope of this thread, hopefully someone can help there. Chris

    [Android Auto] Expert level usage?

    oic, then I guess another question is, besides waze, are there any other apps that do work inside of Android auto. Waze takes place of Google maps, so any other apps that do something similar? Overall it's pretty neat. Thanks.

    [Android Auto] Expert level usage?

    I have a '16 Yukon XL and a question regarding Android Auto about apps/operation. So using Google maps via USB is working, Google music works etc....so all the basics are 100%. I installed Waze (compatible app for Android Auto) which comes up as a working app to select between Google maps and...

    2018 Yukon Denali waze GPS connection issue

    Turn off power saving features. I had the same issue with my android and google maps. The power saving feature was causing exactly that "can't find GPS error", once I discovered that, it's been flawless since.

    Anyone use MP3 CDs at all? (Album Covers)

    I see, yes, mine is similar, talks about sample rates and other minor tech data. Don't see much about the artwork listed as data entry point.

    Anyone use MP3 CDs at all? (Album Covers)

    I did, but it doesn't say much, it only talks about how it can play them, and not a whole lot more. Is there an electronic copy of your manual somewhere I can look at?

    Anyone use MP3 CDs at all? (Album Covers)

    And have her take up space on my drive......oh hell no.....LOL. I am reading on multiple sites that as a data disc, it should be picking it up (MyLink sites). Technically it is reading and decoding an MP3 just like the USB stick, so I'm just wondering if I am mastering it wrong or maybe my...

    Anyone use MP3 CDs at all? (Album Covers)

    Yes, it is working correctly with the USB stick. The reason is that the wife has a 2008 saturn vue that reads MP3s and she has me make discs of her favorite songs. So when that disc arrives in the Yukon and I play it when she is in it, everything but the art shows up.....the "music icon" where...

    Anyone use MP3 CDs at all? (Album Covers)

    I've created multiple test MP3 CDs for my 2016 yukon xl. What I'm trying to sort out, I can't seem to get the radio to display the embedded album cover from the file playing. On my USB drive, it works perfectly. But an MP3 on CD as a data CD, it won't display the artwork. It does display the...

    Voltmeter in the instrument cluster.

    Yeah when I first got mine, it freaked me out.....the dealer (manager and good friend) told me what it was doing and that unless a "message" to service the charging system, then it is operating normally. I guess it serves as less parasitic drag on the belt line as the magnetics are disabled...

    Yukon XL, 2016, IO5 radio system, Samsung Galaxy S6 on Version 7 (Nougat) Onstar sent out a notice about a week or two ago about a big update and it will happen over night......blah blah blah.....since then, when I use google maps via USB connection, I keep getting "searching for GPS" on the...

    2016 Yukon XL IO5 > Apps > Skype

    I don't recall a method to be able to install Skype on the radio itself? Are you saying leave Skype running on phone, via bluetooth connection, and I'll be able to "type" responses if someone sends/types something? I have read the Skype calling is not a valid feature, no worries about that, I'm...

    2016 Yukon XL IO5 > Apps > Skype

    Does anyone know how to use Skype on this system? It says its part of the mobile apps, I have it installed on my phone and use it regularly. I don't see any provision to be able to select it anywhere to view messages or whatever. Does it work via Bluetooth or USB only? I want to be able to use...
