Was about 600 bucks for the two items; dongle from BTDiesel, programming from WAMS. With my '22, I'm able to disable everything completely, no parking, no tails, no led halo things, no low, high or fogs.
You only use the dongle when you're programming, once done, pull it out and put it away.

 

What Chris said, plus the comment that there is no subscription payment. It's an initial purchase only.

Yes, DRLs can be completely disabled.

Yes, DRLs can also be switched to your fog lights instead of the headlights.

A lot of customization available.

 

Well this thread just cost me some money 😎.
I ordered one yesterday.

 

Just ask Chris (@flyinhawaiian968), I love spending other people's money. 🤪🤪🤪

It really is a great product.

 

Yes, yes he does!

 

I would bet you good money that if they would lower the price on this package about 30% they would triple their sales an I would buy one now.
Personally, I am still considering it but really don't want to dump another $600 bucks into a truck that stands to be sold off soon just to turn off the frickin daytime running lights!

 

They just now got some hardware back in stock. Price may come down if it starts piling up on shelves.

 

Good point, Christmas and Black Friday are right around the corner, lots of other things to buy for the family, I can't be selfish and just think of the truck, lol (or can I)

 

So I ordered the Autosync from BTdiesel, the BCM tuning from Whiteautoandmedia and the rear camera harness adapter from the HarnessDr.com. All three transactions went really smooth and I ended up getting the Autosync and harness a day early and on the same day.

It wasn’t too bad getting everything hooked up and updated, you just have to follow the instructions in order. By the next day I had the licensing and was up and running.
Really a cool tool and I now have control of a lot of stuff. It will take a while to figure everything out, but the things I initially bought it for were easy to program and get working.

I know it’s a bit on the expensive side, but nothing else I have found can do what this does.
So far I give this upgrade 👍🏻👍🏻.

 

Glad its working well for you and did exactly what you wanted it to do! Yep, there's a TON of stuff you can screw with in the menu, only thing I wish it had was a single, "revert to stock" button for ALL settings, but that's just me being nitpicky!

 

Chris, I ventured away from the normal and am now learning new things again. WTH is this thing for?

Its for playing around with most of the BCM settings, mainly lighting options, but there's a bunch of other settings too like speed limiter, adjusting remote start run time and other stuff. Here's the main list of things you can screw with:

Each one of those has submenus, here's the system submenu, tow/haul selected:

So, lots of things to customize! Yes, its expensive for the two items, but you do get a ton of adjustability to make the truck work the way you want.

 

Have any of you used this to change your approach and/or exit lighting?
I tried to change from low beams to fog lights in both, with everything else being the same, and I can’t get it to work. It shows the fog lights on and the low beams off, but once I download it there is no change with the truck, low beams are still on.
I emailed back and fourth with WAM, with no resolution, but they were very responsive. They suggested that I email BT to see they know of any conflicts, which I just did, and I’m waiting to hear back from them. I just thought I would check with you guys and see if anyone had come across this.

 

I have, and in fact, have it like yours for fogs instead of regular lights, seems to work on mine just fine. Mine's a '22 though, and I believe my programming from WAMS and BTD is completely different than your '16, as the newer model's were re-worked by GM to use a completely different communications system (iirc, it used to be canbus, now its something new).

Have you double-checked that it is indeed uploading the modifications to the truck? I'd set something else in the list that you can verify has changed with your setup, such as a specific number of flashes in "remote unlock flash count", that way you can just hit the unlock button and count how many flashes you're getting. Set it for something like 7 and upload, then check it to make sure you get those 7 flashes. If you don't, you know its not writing your changes to the BCM at all. At that point, you can then check to see if the dongle is being flashed with the data you've set, then move on to see whether the dongle is being recognized in the truck at all.

 

I have tried that a few times and the other changes always work. Hopefully BT will know what is going on. I am think that I changed something earlier that is creating conflict with this change.

 

Yeah, if the other changes work fine, then its definitely something conflicting or overriding your settings for entry/exit lighting. By chance, does yours have the "unknown" toggle that should not be touched also?

Perhaps setting everything back to stock values, updating, then going back and redoing your changes will overwrite whatever may be conflicting? I'm assuming you've already tried this (a dozen times? lol), but it might be another thing to try.

 

actually I’m not sure that I have tried that. I will try in a little bit.

 

Little late to the party, but I have done this an it works.

Yes, try deleting the tune setting. Reflash BCM, then edit the setting again and reprogram again.

 

Tim, you slacker, you!

 

I know, I know, but I was busy with an absolutely epic striped bass bite today.

 

Yeah, yeah, rub it in! Still fishin' where you're at like its still fall or something!

 

Well I’m glad I got this when I did, wams is not offering the BCM unlock for 14 and up anymore.

 

Yea, very weird. Something new was hinted at on Facebook.

 

What are you hearing on Facebook?

 

What are you hearing on Facebook?

copy and paste:

The WAMS agreement to be the exclusive seller of BCM tuning on the autosync has expired. The tuning platform is becoming free-market (where other companies will also be able to sell tuning). WAMS hasn’t expressed any interest yet in continuing to sell on the open platform, but another company is onboarding and getting their tuning on the platform set up now, and it should hopefully be live before end-of year.



That is all I know. PM me if you want the link to the facebook group for autosync. I'm not going to post it publicly. Yes, you need a Facebook account in order to join. That comment was about 2 weeks ago BTW.

 

Whoa, that's a major red flag! And a deal breaker for many!

If WhiteAutomedia is smart they will provide a good reason for this.

I have been watching this thread carefully and considering purchase but after reading this news the thought of dropping big bucks on something like this that and having its plug pulled by the vendor make this a no deal for the future. Bad Form to say the least! (They need to take a page from Banks who just about never stops providing support for products they sell) IMHO ...

Same here, I was about to purchase right after holidays and “ Bam” what a surprise.
i e mailed WAMS got immediate response “hopefully a few weeks“ per Chris
I e mailed BT Diesel no response after now nearly three weeks.
Good analogy they should follow Banks business model for customer support.
im cautious hopefully but not spending a penny on something I can’t use or get continued support

 

Sounds like a good thing. I'd prefer to have multiple vendors or the possibly of the availability to tune myself similar to EFI Live.

 

if WAMS chooses not to continue the contract to be the exclusive seller of BCM tuning on the autosync that's just fine. If other want to get into that business that makes it better for us, HOWEVER if WAMS drops further support of BCM tuning why buy their product? I know whatever I buy for my truck in aftermarket parts, accessories or whatnot I expect the vendor to support the product for many years to come, if not I don't buy their products.

Especially when were talking some serious bucks for their stuff. WAM should bargin to still provide BCM tuning perhaps on a al la carte basis much like HP Tuners requires different amounts of credits for different stuff.

This seems to be the latest business plans more and more today, offer a product with great promises, take your money then say sorry, were not offering that feature anymore or to drop continued development of the product. But just to bail and say were not going to offer BCM tuning anymore just sucks and really turns me off to anything they offer or will in the future.

Its going to be interesting to see how this shakes out and hopefully there's much more to this story and its not as bad as it appears.

 

there's much more to this story

Yes, there most certainly is.

Guys, the important thing here is that anyone who already purchased BCM tuning still has the ability to do so. Yes, it sucks if you haven't yet, you're SOL for the moment (2014+).

Hopefully this works out ok for the future for us (the consumer).

Just remember that there's always two sides to a story, and so far, only one side has said something.

 

Well, I just gotta jump in here and say that I've talked to Chris @ WAMS about the whole fiasco. Yes, there is a LOT more to the story than what has been posted on Facebook and wherever else its been posted.

The good news is that support "should" continue through BTDiesel for those of us who purchased the dongle and the programming through WAMS. The bad news is that Chris @ WAMS is not the side we should be worried about, it was NOT his decision to stop offering the programming, and he has ALWAYS been responsive to his customers, both through email as well as here on the forum.

I really can't say much more, and I'm sure all of this will come out in the end, but not until they are legally allowed to do so. Its unfortunate but I'm sure we can all see where this is heading for the two companies.

 

I think if Chris at WAMS needs to come on this forum and give us the complete and full story directly from him or someone who officially represents the company.

Anyone even remotely thinking about purchasing this product will simply forget it (me for one), not a good thing for WAMS or product line now or in the future.

Yea, I hear you.

Except, think about some reasons why someone can't speak. Please remember that these aren't two big corporations. They're very small. So it's a much more individual situation going on.

I have personally spoken with Chris. That is all.
Yes, it is very unfortunate for the truck community that we can't buy something we used to be able to.

 

Viper, I totally understand what you are saying, bottom line is they can simply stay in the shadows regarding their official position and simply go the way to the Dodo bird. No one in their right mind is going to drop big cash on this now considering the circumstances.

So the other unfortunate thing about this is anyone who has bought this product is totally screwed when it comes to BCM software updates. Not only that the device will have zero re-sale value when you sell off your current truck as it will be useless to the next person.

Wow is this situation so really lame. I just hope WAM takes care of those who forked over hard earned cash to buy into this.

Keep us all posted and I hope it works out for you guys.

 

Well, all of the features that were advertised when I bought it still work. At some point too, there is a finite limit to what the BCM does. They unlocked the whole thing, so we can completely customize the entire BCM.
What I'm saying is, I really don't think there's anymore "updates" to be had. Of course, I can't say that with certainty because I don't have the source code to the BCM, but I can already turn on/off tons of stuff. 🤷‍♂️
