Steering Wheel/ Gauge Instrument Cluster Upgrade For 2014-2018 Silverado/Sierra Part 1/3

So recently I been working on upgrading my steering wheel to add media controls and also change my gauge cluster to a color screen one. Here is part 1 of the video, as I progress on this I will posting part 2. Take into account this is not a cheap upgrade so. I can't do everything at once. New cluster needs to be compatible and reprogramed to your Vin. White auto and Media can do this, atleast for me the programing will be close to $400.
This is very similar if you want to add a heated steering wheel but you will need a new clock spring for a heated wheel and you will need to get power for the heated part of it. There's a good forum for this, Google it.
This video will focus on the wiring on the cluster harness that will need to communicate the wheel controls to the radio. YOU CAN NOT HAVE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS IF YOU DON'T UPGRADE YOUR CLUSTER!!!

With the steeeing wheel could have just ran the single wire from the back of the cluster to a gray plug under the dash on the driver side and add the pin to the 10th hole on left side of the plug under the two white wires. The wire for the steering wheel is already ran to said plug has the green and black wire from the clock spring.

[@Jorge.Rangel]

I didn't know that, I followed the only written guide and this was the way.

[@kevinwest1662]

@@Jorge.Rangel Only reason I know it is because I was able to get a harness and strip it down. I followed where every wire went. I watched your video and several other videos and started to do it the way you did and I thought to myself all these trucks have mostly the same wiring with some features not being ran. Sure enough the wire you tapped into is the stock sterring wheel wire for all these trucks. Its pinned on one side of the plug and a empty place for the other pin to the connecting plug. I don't know how much you have done to your truck but keep in mind they all have pretty much the same harness you just have to continue what the manufacturer left off.

[@wrbrex5]

Awesome video series! Where can I get the metal pins for the cluster harness?

[@danielsalcedo5834]

I finally did the swap im only adding steering wheel control not radio so I already tapped in from the clockspring all good but i dont know where to tap in for the cluster pin

[@Jorge.Rangel]

On my first video of this I posted the forum link, in there you will see the diagrams where the pins go

[@victorevan7893]

Looks like you need to upgrade your steering wheel and clock spring to. But still need to run wires to radio and to new harness from new clock spring.

[@victorevan7893]

Jorge Rangel but dont you need new cluster for the controls to plug in for radio? And yes saw for the heated steering, but my truck dont have control for cluster and radio so i would need clock spring and wheel in order to work with new cluster.

[@victorevan7893]

Jorge Rangel but still would have to run wires to radio, but im thinking of upgrading cluster and steering on mine to, just waiting for someone on youtube like you to show us. So thanks for posting videos hope to watch part 2.

[@yohanburciaga2007]

Is part 2 coming soon. ? I would love to do this upgrade on my truck lol

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Part 2 is up on the channel. Part 3 is almost up

[@craigmoreira4207]

Where did you get your wiring locations and can I get copies please

[@LTX6.2Sierra]

Waiting for the part 2 im waiting to see if u make i work so i can do the escalade cluster upgrade

[@LTX6.2Sierra]

We need a part 2 !!!

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Is expensive to make part 2. I just don't have the money right now. New cluster reprogramming is almost $400

[@Jorge.Rangel]

@@LTX6.2Sierra part 2 is up on the channel and part 3 is coming

[@JesusAlcala-o9d]

Tengo una 2017 chevy silverado wt ya le cambie el cluster y el steering wheel cres k si conecto los cables al estereo trabaje kn los controles y funcione kn un estereo aftermarket ?

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Con el estero original no creo que funcione almenos que ya aiga reprogramado el cluster y radio a su vin. Con un stereo aftermarket nose porque yo no lo trate haci

[@JesusAlcala-o9d]

Ok .. el cluster ya esta progamado. Solo k kiero ponerle un alpine y kiero k funcione kn l0s cotroles del steering wheel

[@Jorge.Rangel]

@@JesusAlcala-o9d si ya esta programado entonces si debería funcionar con el estero original y también con el alpine. Ellos incluyen los adaptadores para que funcione todo.

[@JesusAlcala-o9d]

Ok.. le voy a calar aversi funciona .. gracias

[@whitefunk100]

Hi, so have to have cluster controlled from steering wheel (plan to change steering wheel and cluster, radio is android already so do not need radio data on cluster) I just need to connect that yellow cable from steering wheel to cluster? Cluster pin is 20 and steering that green one

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Yes I believe that is correct for cluster comtrol. Don't know how well if will work with your radio as is not the oem one

[@alexalcaraz2933]

So what is this for? Is this to use the steering wheel controls for the radio or for the cluster?

[@Jorge.Rangel]

For both. Plus you get a whole lot of extra little things

[@TuryLanderos]

Did you solder the wires together to the green wire?

[@Jorge.Rangel]

The green wire going to the steering wheel only goes into one location and you can just t tap or expo the wire and solder it. Which I did to make sure it never comes apart.

[@JS-xu1uj]

Is this same process for 2016 GMC/Chevy 1500 base?

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Yes same deal

[@LTX6.2Sierra]

Any luck ? Waiting for part 2

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Tough times man. I wish I had the funds to continue with this upgrade.

[@hamadalzahrany8253]

I have a Sierra and I want to do the same, but I do not understand exactly how many wires are there and where I connect them to. Please contact me Snap and explain to me

[@Jorge.Rangel]

@@hamadalzahrany8253 I did it the cheaper way, there's a guy who makes this harness so is mostly plug and play. harnessdr.com/

[@hamadalzahrany8253]

Can I do it myself or what is the name of the ready-made connection?

[@Jorge.Rangel]

@@hamadalzahrany8253 is alot harder and more expensive to do it yourself as you need special connectors you can only buy in big amounts. I suggest messaging harnessdr on the link I sent you and requesting a quote for the gauge cluster upgrade.

[@hamadalzahrany8253]

Well, what should I say to the person who gave me a link to buy the same piece connected to the dash?

[@Jorge.Rangel]

@@hamadalzahrany8253 just let him know you are trying to do the gauge cluster upgrade but don't have the wiring that you need the harness to connect the cluster to the radio to the steering wheel.

[@chrisford8403]

Will this work on IO3 trucks? Did you need to do anything to the HMI?

[@chrisford8403]

Thanks for the reply and the vids.

[@elote785]

Wire are not reaching HMI module, only radio Module, Cluster gauge connector and coils spring connector.

[@NWCPcbenchmarks]

How much $$$ have you put into your truck?

[@NWCPcbenchmarks]

Jorge Rangel that’s a lot of cash. I hope you befriended a gm employee to use their discount

[@NWCPcbenchmarks]

Jorge Rangel that’s not bad

[@KM-xn5kj]

Where is the second vid

[@Jorge.Rangel]

I wish KZbin paid me enough to do the second part but is just so expensive for me at the moment. For the cluster I got programing is like $400. Is cheaper to reprogram the denali cluster but then I would have to buy it. I have a friend who is doing this upgrade and hopefully he will make the second part and I will share it with all of you.

[@danielsalcedo5834]

Jorge Rangel if he can man we would all highly appreciate it you should start a gofundme for you project i will surely donate as long as we get good content on installa like this

[@Jorge.Rangel]

@@danielsalcedo5834 I don't know how to do that, but I'll ask Santa for the reprograming cus I know everyone wants the second part lol

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Part 2 is up and part 3 is almost up

[@sitnlow4life]

Steering wheel controls won't work without updated DIC ?

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Correct. And your new DIC needs to be reprogramed to your Vin in order for that to work and your DIC needs to have some wires going into the controls and the radio module

[@sitnlow4life]

@@Jorge.Rangel will the work truck DIC work with steering wheel controls ?

[@Jorge.Rangel]

@@sitnlow4life I'm not to sure, as far as I know you have to upgrade to the color DIC un order for controls to work.

[@sitnlow4life]

@@Jorge.Rangel Interesting... Work trucks never came with steering wheel controls ? How much is it for WAM to program a color DIC ?

[@Jorge.Rangel]

@@sitnlow4life no they never came with wheel controls. They charge $300 plus shipping. But contact them before you purchase it and ask them about the part number to see if it will work on your truck.

[@miguelvelazquez2726]

did u swap ur steering wheel to

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Yes I did.

[@miguelvelazquez2726]

Jorge Rangel do u have to swap the clockspring to or just taping in to it and pining the other wires fix the problem i wanna install the denali cluster on it to is ther other wiring that needs to be done or just watever u show on the other videos for the stering wheel it looks sick

[@Jorge.Rangel]

@@miguelvelazquez2726 you don't need to swap out the clockspring unless you're adding a heated wheel and you wanted it to work, but that requieres running another wire for it

[@mohamm6347]

Hey bro where did you get the steering wheel?

[@Jorge.Rangel]

From a friend that sells parts. There's a Facebook group called Gen 5 5.3 &. 6.2 and there you will find people selling all kinds of things

[@mohamm6347]

Thanks

[@gmcsierra-te5oz]

eBay to

[@danielsalcedo5834]

i need part 2

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Man I wish I could do part 2, is just expensive to complete. Reprograming the cluster is around $350

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Is gonna get done, I just need to save up for that, and quit spending on unnecessary things.

[@danielsalcedo5834]

Jorge Rangel you can reprogram your cluster at white audio media for $200 i ordered the denali cluster but i am not lost on installing steering controls to my steering wheel because i have the w/t edition

[@Jorge.Rangel]

Part 2 is up and part 3 is almost up
