    Found a 12.1 android head unit that incorporates HVAC factory system controls

    I just ordered one as well. I'm looking forward to getting it installed. I ordered it with android auto installed. The earlier comments that said the android auto weren't usable were not using android auto. They were using the easy connect app which is worthless. I'll add a review once it's in.

    Denali grill loose and vibrating at speed

    I have an 08 Denali and I love it. It spends almost every night parked in the garage but I was traveling for work and left it parked at the Philadelphia airport for a couple nights and it got well below freezing. When I got back to the airport to drive home I noticed that as soon as I got over...

    Updated VCIM has delay in Bluetooth

    It's been about a year but I finally got a significant improvement in the connection time. I have a 2008 Yukon Denali and the VCIM that I used is out of a 2009 Acadia Denali. I bring that up because they might have updated the VCIMs since but the 2009 can connect to up to 5 different phones. The...

    Wandering Side Mirror

    I have my driver's side mirror on my '08 Denali set to tilt down in reverse for backing down the driveway and checking my spot and angle when backing into the garage. It works great but when it angles back up into place it always settles higher than it did in my original preferences. I notice it...

    Seat Belt Extenders

    I just ordered 2 of the extenders for my 2008 Denali to use with my kids seats in the back row. GM still offers them for free but they only have them in black and only in a 9" or 15" length. I wish I knew this before I ordered a pair of them from Amazon. The Amazon ones didn't fit my Yukon but...

    Adding Crux Bluetooth Streaming to an 08' with Navigation

    I saw the ISimple option when I was looking but I really didn't want an external microphone. I wanted to keep everything as stock looking as possible. This meant using two different devices, The 2009+ VCIM for bluetooth calling and something else for Bluetooth audio. I still think that for the...

    Adding Crux Bluetooth Streaming to an 08' with Navigation

    I have an XM subscription as well so I was also concerned about the functionality of using both and the description in your second post is correct. Over the weekend I tested it out quite a bit and to change between Bluetooth and XM you just hold down the back button on the bottom right corner of...

    Adding Crux Bluetooth Streaming to an 08' with Navigation

    No, The VCIM is only required for Bluetooth phone calls. The box that I installed is for all audio other than calls. Both of them work completely independently and neither is required for the other to work. I ended up with this setup instead of a single solution for both calls and audio because...

    Adding Crux Bluetooth Streaming to an 08' with Navigation

    A couple quick notes from driving around today. 1. The sound does go through all the front and back speakers. It sounds as clear or clearer than the standard XM signal and is terrific so far. 2. I've made multiple calls and when the dial button is pressed the phone immediately switches from...

    Adding Crux Bluetooth Streaming to an 08' with Navigation

    I have an 08 Denali with factory navigation and an updated VCIM to add Bluetooth calling but I really want to be able to stream music, podcasts, audiobooks as well as directions when using Waze for traffic. I found a way to do it with the current setup but it involves modifying the signal out on...

    Upgraded VCIM OnStar Activation?

    I did the same thing around the same time. It works exactly as it's supposed to but it still seems so out of date. I'll start the car and it'll easily be 2 full minutes before the vcim picks up the bluetooth signal from my phone and then when I shut the car off the phone stays connected through...

    Tahoe getting Wrapped!!

    Wow, I was skeptical of the color in the original posts but seeing it complete with the all black trim the whole things looks amazing.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    It's a 2008 so it's the second year of this body style. I bought it recently and couldn't believe that it's 10 years old.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I took it to replica builder in New Jersey. It only goes 6 mph but it looks just like a real quad.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I have a tractor/snowblower that I never use, so I loaded it up and towed it about an hour away to turn it into a 4 wheeler that I'll never use.

    How to keep fog lights on?

    I was looking at doing the same thing. This thread has some discussion on it and some guys that tried it but I read somewhere that a lot of heat built up in the fuse box that could cause a fire. This most likely came from incorrectly sized relays but I haven't gone farther to check and do it...

    08 Denali backup camera not working

    I have the same issue with my 2008. Just started 2 days ago and now the camera works maybe 25% of the time. I'll be opening it up to check the connection but has anyone tried updating the camera to a 2009 or newer and would that provide the navigation lines on the screen?

    Hood Trim Loose

    I don't know why the pictures are private. I'm working on fixing it now but it's a Yukon Denali and the trim that I'm talking about is the chrome top of the grill. On the Denali it's actually mounted on the hood.

    Hood Trim Loose

    I know that no one else is checking out this post but just in case someone searches for the same issue and comes across this I wanted to close it out and let you know that the tape worked. I had it at 70 mph for an extended period of time and there was no noise from the trim rattling. I had the...

    Hood Trim Loose

    I got restless and decided to go with the 3M trim double sided trim tape to fix this. I'll update with whether or not it fixes it. Below is the issue and what I did : This is the clip that broke off the back of the trim on the front of the hood: 20180220_142438 by JPatton posted Feb 20, 2018 at...

    Hood Trim Loose

    I was driving on the highway yesterday and noticed a vibrating sound coming from the front as soon as I got over 65 mph. I got home and checked for anything loose on the front and I found that one of the clips that holds the front top grill trim to the hood has broken from behind and is allowing...

    Updated VCIM has delay in Bluetooth

    About a month ago I found a 2008 Denali with just over 50k miles that I thought was incredibly under-priced so I jumped on it. I did a couple upgrades immediately including the vcim after reading everything that I could find on here. The upgrade was smooth and easy. Thanks for all the...
