OK you sold me with that last post. If you could, please provide website for me to purchase. As a sidebar, (according to other post) with the proper trim tools the speaker cover can be removed w/o removing the pillar. Either way no big deal. this looks like a simple swap out. Thanks Again!

Default IO6 HMI Upgrade

Thanks to all that offered input to gain actual Nav. Ordered unit and it's on it's way. Talked to customer rep before placing order, and she sent me link for a 2016 HMI model. She said the 2015 module was slower. They also had listed a 2016-2017. Not sure the difference except maybe the maps are more up to date.

Just installed. Everything works just as if factory installed. Pictures attached. No loss of XM or driver preferences.Nothing to reset. Phone took 30 seconds to pair. Nav location spot on. Instead of splitting with OnStar antenna used dedicated antenna. Truly a plug & play.


Before #1



Before #2



After #1 (Onstar Nav Gone!)



After #2

Does anyone know if there is a Nav solution for 2018 owners? I have a 1LT without nav, and all the links I've seen only show up to 2017. I tried the units listed on ebay, and when I select my yr. and model of car, it says it's not compatible with my car.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you call Digital Dash Solutions at 860-792-8021 they can answer your question. I got my io6 module from them that's all they do is electronics.

I agree with etaylor14. Dilly-Dilly! When I called I had the same problem with their drop down menu. They not only set me on the right path but offered a better module at a cheaper price than what I was looking at. Be sure to ask if there are any functions you may loose with the upgrade.For example . Z51's have different software than base even though the infotainment system appears the same. Different software - possibly different functions. The more research you do now, the less problems later.

My 2017 displays NAV in my non NAV equipped car from my iPhone using Apple Play! I don't have OnStar.
