Adding Apple CarPlay to 2015 Yukon?

[jl449]

I picked up the new radio brain, HMI module and USB ports for my 2015, and will have it installed Friday. I believe the modules are 2016 units, so i would expect everything to mirror the OEM 2016 systems.

It cost me $600 for the new parts, which seems a bit cheaper than everything else i've seen posted online.

What are the parts #s for the 3 parts you ordered and where did you order the parts from? Will the HMI module have car play, android auto and have the current firmware?
I would assume the 2016 will have a faster processor in the HMI. Also, will the dealer flash the HMI when a new firmware comes out?

I dont know the part #'s, but i purchased everything through CPS Audio Video. The guy i worked with is named Greg (707-321-9300/[email protected]), and he put together the package with the 3 parts. He said they program the module and add your VIN in so everything works like factory.

I found them on the TahoeYukon forum after someone posted their success with this setup. I'll post back on Friday once it's installed.

Thanks Matt... looking forward on your write up on the installation and performance...

System is installed and everything works as it should. CarPlay is pretty intuitive, and the text message & maps feature are pretty cool. For $600 in new hardware, i think it's a worthwhile upgrade. Only thing i wish the system had was screen mirroring/YouTube for movies. The shop i bought the hardware from was also willing to update the HMI module in the future, should there be a significant update that requires reprogramming.
