subbing, will be doing this in the future. Might just need to purchase some extra bits from GM when I do it, to handle the broken parts possibility.
 
I've upgraded the HMI module in my WT to an I06 and the 8 inch screen, I now have the factory GPS. My question is, if I got a new steering wheel with the audio controls will it work? I've heard that the HMI module is the one that interfaces with the audio controls on the steering wheel. Has anybody have any experience with this?
 
Hi Guys, new to forum and first post. I bought a 2017 Canyon SLT Diesel last weekend and am also waiting for the Denali wheel to become available. I also have a 2010 Avalanche and I recently installed a heated wheel into it so I'm hoping this will be similar or hopefully even easier. On the Avalanche I also had to replace the clockspring with one that supported the heated wheel but after that it was just a simple matter of hooking up a power and ground wire that came with the new clockspring. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that maybe GM used a standard clockspring in 2017 but I'd actually be surprised if they did. My guess is we're going to have to replace the clockspring as well as the wheel.
 
Don't know yet, still waiting for it to become available. I keep checking the online GM parts sites and none of them list anything for the 2017 Canyon yet.
 
Just a question on this (didn't want to start a new thread). I have a 2016 WT with Convenience package but NOT audio controls on the steering wheel. I am adding a Double DIN set up with Maestro ADS-MRR and appropriate harness (GM3) I am adding mostly to keep the Door chimes, Climate control through receiver and reverse camera.

A couple questions...
Is there already a Microphone in the headliner ? I can add aftermarket of course but wanted to use as much of the OEM stuff as I can.
If I add the module below do I need to do anything else ?

Adding that module will definitely require a BCM flash for functionality, if GM will allow it. They are becoming very anti-mod...

Welcome to C'Fans
 
Any update to getting the BCM flashed?

Does Chevrolet use the same clock spring no matter if you don't have the radio buttons, but do have cruise? It looks like in one of the pictures with the new wheel installed that the radio buttons light up.

What is the process for removing and replacing the steering wheel on the Colorado? I might just do the swap for the nicer, leather wrapped steering wheel since they are going fairly cheap on eBay. I drive a lot so the leather wrapped wheel would be nice.
 
Just an FYI for @Coloanyon the cluster will have to be swapped out for the color DIC cluster and it will have to have custom programming for the radio controls to work. The programming is in the cluster, not the BCM.

Below is a website for someone who does this. I'm working with them now to see what it is going to take to have it done.

Subscribed. Wish my 16WT had audio controls...looks like after market is the best route huh? Might just do that since I need more THUMP out of my 2x4 anyways lol...
 
Does the radio bcm need to be updated if I'm swapping a steering wheel with a heated steering wheel with the same options plus the heating component?

I am in the process of upgrading my SLT to a heated steering wheel it looks like all you need is a Canyon Denali clock spring and heated wheel. You will also have to run power and a ground to the wires from the clock spring that feed the heating elements. I did this on my Avalanche and it worked out good. However this time I have to order a 2017 Acadia wheel as I have the cocoa interior and the Denali is black only.

I'd like details on this if you can provide them. What part numbers for the steering wheel and clock spring? I also have a 2010 Avalanche in which I did this and I've been dying to do it on my Canyon SLT but so far haven't been able to locate any part numbers. Can you verify for certain that the Acadia steering wheel will work?
 
I have the 2017 Colorado WT Base. It does not have cruise control.

I plan on getting this steering wheel: without audio controls.

And this clock spring:

Not sure if they are the correct/matching pair for just wanting to add cruise control, because there's another clock spring listed, but I'm gonna give it a try.

I'll order these soon and see what the Chevy dealership can do!

If anyone has any input, let me know.
