My Chevy Volt was manufactured in late 2011, but it is a MY2012 with a Denso navigation head unit. I purchase a new 22925286 unit (option codes UFU & UP9) at $35 and works totally fine after reprogramming through my VXDIAG VCX Nano GM GDS2<\/a> with a $40 SPS subscription.<\/p>\n

An SPS subscription will only let you program the correct model & model year vehicle for the VIN you provided in TIS2Web. So selecting a different model year likely will still keep you blocked from programming one way or another. Programming process in SPS may be different for 2011 Volts. You need try by yourself.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a set of screenshots showing what the reprogramming\/swapping process was like for me. Hope it helps.<\/p>\n

Swap Denso HDD with Navi and Bose on the Volt 12\u2032:
\n\u2013 You need to find a head unit with a part number 22925286. PRO code for the unit with NAVI is &UFU&UP9. Bose is just software stuff which needs to be activated during reprogramming.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

GDS2<\/a> ID information before reprogramming<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Radio ID information pinout from GDS2, post-reprogramming<\/p>\n

The second screenshot is just a printout from one of GDS2\u2019s menus, nothing too different from the first screenshot aside from its formatting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select Radio module and Programming<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Audio system selection screen, UFU+UP9 were the options my factory radio had.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rear view Camera option selection. Pretty self-explanatory, does your car have a backup camera or no?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Audio and Equalizer options will setup the radio according to whether your car has the Bose system (UQA) or not (UZ6)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Language calibrations are similar easy enough. In this case i selected the U.S only calibration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the last screen you\u2019ll see before programming. It will confirm whether you are actuvally makeing any changes or not. I messed up my option codes when programming for the first time, so i\u2019m actually glad i went and did this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Done. Reprogramming the new calibrations only took a few seconds. Then clear existing DTCs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
