4.2 to 8in upgrade

[Tylus]

Interesting

So for $750 you get the module/radio touchscreen?

Or is that just an interface?

Few more questions

1. Can your stream Bluetooth?
2. Can you make phone calls from it?
3. Will my factory backup camera work with it?

Hey guys, new to the forum. I saw this as my first thread and wanted to add a little something to it. I bought my wife a 2015 Tahoe, but it came with everything but a 8" screen(weird i03). I contacted MVI and they supplied me with everything needed to do the install. Took me about two hours to do so, and that included soldering everything and making it look factory. I have my own Jeep Srt8 that I do my own work on, but could not deal with that little $hitty screen. It does everything that the factory would have supplied. The harnesses they make are super clean. The YouTube video makes it easy as well. I took pictures for them so that they could use them for other people that are not as skilled to help understand.

My wife uses BT and streams music. I opted not to get the NAV because the iphone does the trick. I regret not getting the upgrade so I can mirror my phone onto the 8" screen. MVI had shipped me all the necessary parts, but somewhere in shipping the screen had gotten a broken tab. They were quick to send me a replacement. Good guys a very responsive, via TEXT ONLY. The calls took a day or two to get back to me, but it was nothing every technical.

This is great to hear, Pittz!!! I'm really glad Anthony finally decided to put something together for us I03 owners. Though for me, about two years too late.

Question for you - how did you replace the HMI? Or did you have to replace the HMI? And which one did you have to replace - the one behind the glovebox, or the one in the center console below the radio?

When you have some time, can you post some pictures or point us in the direction of where to find them? I'd love to see how it turned out. I don't see anything on MVI's website.

Disregard on the pictures, Pittz. I just found the video Anthony's YouTube channel.

This is VERY good news for those wanting to upgrade from the I03 to I05/6 with the factory finish!!!

I have the full video. they email it to you when you purchase their kit. It is a very easy install. I know it's a little too late, but for the guys that currently have it, or may end up purchasing one will now know they have the option. I could barely see what wires they tied into, so that is why I took pictures. The video does a good enough job to get you through it. I took pictures of each harness and what wire to solder into.

I went with the basic I05 system, but well worth the money. I have a base model LS, but it has leather/20" wheels/rear DVD. I was confused when i saw the 3" screen.

How much is the set back on this puppy?

Same question. Cost to go from I03 to IO5 with MVI package?

 

[Pittz]

Sorry guys, been busy. I spent $1,100 on the wiring harness/HMI/OEM screen. It was worth every penny to have the OEM look and functions. I think for another $100 or so I could have had more features. The screen alone was about $500. i am not sure how much the HMI cost, but the wiring harness was $200 plus range.

I already had Bluetooth, but it was only two wires to tap into above the glove box. That is where the OnStar module sits.

This is with Nav built in? Very good price.
