No 5G. It’s 4G LTE.

Negative. I clarified it on screen right after that. It’s an antenna for aftermarket backup cameras.

Unfortunately no. I tested this and it doesn’t work.

@fondupot thank you for replying. Yes it makes sense..

@fondupot sorry to bother you was the problem your phone won't have hotspot and wifi at the same time or the until in the truck didn't pick up the signal from your phone

The unit just can’t do both things at the same time.

@fondupot I appreciate it brother..

Thanks for watching.

Not to bad. Plug N Play.

They have a unit that fits the 2014-2019 trucks. There’s a link in the video description. I’ve never tested that unit. But I suspect it has similar functionality.

Cheers thanks!

No. But you can play it directly from the app on the new headunit.

My truck is a Silverado LTD Custom trim. Still has a regular fob and key.

It will connect to a hotspot just fine. Obviously as mentioned, CarPlay won't work at the same time. But you can use the onboard Maps/Waze or whatever else is available on the Playstore. I've been testing the Maps with my LTE connection and it seems pretty reliable. I've never used CZcams music, but I assume it will be fine as you have good service.

@@fondupot Does the wired carplay still work with this unit or is it wireless only? My 2020 only can connect with carplay via a cable. My thought is that if your carplay is connected via a cable instead of bluetooth would it not then interfere with the using the phone as a hotspot? I've been seriously looking at this unit and one sold by Autotec. They are very similar and I'm not sure that they are not the same unit just sold by a different company.

I think they are then same units. The wired CarPlay still works. But it won’t be the big screen version. It’s projected thru the In Touch app that has the original Chevy/GMC functions. I actually haven’t tested plugging in to the usb ports on the new unit for wires CarPlay tho.

It seems snappy. I think the manufacturer told me is a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. Not sure which variant. But it seems overall responsive.

It does look pretty cool doesn't it. Haha

It’s just typical Direct Injection. Even the best PCV system is still gonna let some Blow by through. And there’s no fuel wash like port injection to clean the build up off. Your catch can will probably be dry. Others have tested and they don’t get any oil in them. It’s coming from the intake and the breathers. Not the PCV.

@@fondupot Hoping the clean side and can will help keep it clean. Mine is clean as can be so far. Time will tell

It's definitely one of my top annoyances. That and all the audio being synced with Bluetooth...

I run 93 octane and consumption went away. Problem is LSPD. Low Speed Pre Detonation. Oilgeek talks about it on his channel. Lake Speed Jr that is. Direct injection needs a proper formulated oil also for that injection.

I run 89 because I was having some strange random misfires on 87. I tried 93 for a while, Didn’t see my difference in oil consumption tho. But it helped my random misfires. Then I tested 89 and found a good balance.

@@fondupot just make sure u have the right oil also. It’s important! The GM dealership has always down the oil changes since I bought my 2020. I told them what I learned and got them curious enough to look into it. And yes they found it to be true. Look for his video. Wasn’t done long ago. I’ll try to find it as well for you

@grantmeredith1264 I do all my oil changes. So I know what’s getting used. But send me the video you’re talking about.

@@fondupot it a year old video. Go to the search here on CZcams and put in low speed pre ignition Scroll down till you see Lake Speed Jr’s video in it. “How to prevent LSPI from destroying your engine “. It’s 5:16 long

Cheers thanks. Someone else mentioned the Australia unit. I’ll have to look into that and get in touch with them for a test unit. 😎

Interesting. I’m not aware of that one. You got a link??

@@fondupot czcams.com/video/ZJ1KCJooq7c/video.htmlsi=8ULekOQi6Y50KzAW

​@@fondupotits 1700 i saw it also

Link to info on this?

I’m leaning that way….but I’m gonna stick with it for a while and provide a thorough break in.

@@fondupot Sounds good! I look forward to the updates.

Yes the wiring provision is there for the factory tow controller. However the programming in the BCM and dash cluster is not. Others have tried installing the factory brake controller only to left empty handed when it doesn’t work without custom programming, at which point I don’t think anyone does. Thanks for watching. The Redarc controller works wonderfully. Set it and forget it.

Great! Glad to hear! Thanks for watching.

@@theemanofgodalexmartineziv5802 thanks

@@steven5096 the square end of a 3/8” ratchet.

@@fondupot so both the drain plug and the fill plug with the 3/8 square ?

@steven5096 yep, although. Later models the drain plug was deleted. And you have to remove the cover to get the fluid out. Or siphon it out of the fill plug.

@@fondupot should be no prob for me I have a 2018 so im good, thanks for the info and fast replies! New suscriptor here 🤟🏽

@steven5096 glad to help! Thanks for subscribing.

Well. I don’t have the truck anymore. But the motors did start to weaken after a few years. I read that upgrading the wiring could help, but I never got around to it.

Thanks for watching. Glad it helped!

Not that I know of for OEM upgrades. But there are some aftermarket upgrades for the center screen available. Im testing one now. Hope to have a video out in a few weeks on it.

Should have! But it was a work truck. They were OK.

@@rocker1889 nah! It’s not so bad.

Hey thanks! Welcome to the channel!

Same

@SLOWLFXV6 thanks!

Won’t hurt.

I literally show you how in the video. 6:38

Cheers! Thanks for watching.

Cheers. Thanks for watching! I probably would have got the ZTS2 if they had one at my dealer. But I’m satisfied with that ZTS1.

Thanks for watching! Enjoy your truck!

Correct. These have a built in leveling kit. And you can choose the height. I would not stack an RC kit with these. It will ride terrible.

What number level would you do to make it level?

@jamesscheider7055 1.9” like in the video.

Ok thanks for answer me

Cheers. Thanks!

Thanks!

Yea. I figured that out after the fact.
