The 2022.5–2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 introduced the T1 Refresh platform and Global B (VIP) electrical architecture mid-model-year 2022. These trucks come standard with IOK — GM’s Google Built-In Infotainment — which means Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play Store are running natively in the head unit right from the factory. If the 12th character of your VIN is 5 or higher, your truck is a Global B Refresh. White Automotive & Media Services (WAMS) offers OEM upgrade options for this platform — genuine GM hardware, programmed to your VIN, shipped ready to install. No dealer visit required.
Available Infotainment Upgrades
12.3″ Digital Cluster Upgrade
Upgrade the base or analog instrument cluster in your 2022.5–2026 Silverado 1500 to a factory full-color 12.3″ LCD digital cluster with a matching steering wheel featuring audio controls. The complete OEM kit ships VIN-programmed and is a plug-and-play install. This is the same cluster found on higher-trim Silverados — not an aftermarket unit, not a retrofit adapter. Available at WAMS Silverado & Sierra Upgrades.
Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit
Add a new OEM leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio control support to your 2022.5–2026 Silverado 1500 ($199.99). A standalone option if your truck received the digital cluster upgrade and needs a compatible steering wheel, or for owners who want the upgraded wheel without the full cluster kit.
Video Processing Module (VPM) Programming
The VPM Programming Service for 2022.5+ T1 Refresh (Global B) trucks ($449.99) is a programming-only service performed with genuine GM diagnostic software. Contact WAMS with your VIN to confirm whether this service applies to your specific build.
About the 2022.5–2026 Silverado 1500 Infotainment System
The 2022.5–2026 T1 Refresh Silverado 1500 comes standard with IOK — GM’s Google Built-In Infotainment system. IOK runs Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play Store natively inside the head unit, not mirrored from your phone. This is a different system than the IOS/IOT CSM found in the earlier 2019–2022.1 Global A T1 trucks. The Global B architecture used in the Refresh is also electrically distinct from Global A, meaning upgrade services for one will not work on the other. Always confirm architecture with your VIN before ordering any upgrade.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my 2022 Silverado is Global A or Global B?
Check the 12th character of your VIN. A value of 5 or higher means Global B Refresh. Lower than 5 means Global A T1 — see the 2019–2022.1 Silverado infotainment upgrade page for that platform.
Does the 2022.5–2026 Silverado already have factory navigation?
Yes. All 2022.5–2026 T1 Refresh Silverados come with IOK (Google Built-In Infotainment), which includes Google Maps natively in the head unit. No navigation upgrade is needed — it’s built in from the factory.
What is IOK and how is it different from Android Auto?
IOK is GM’s Google Built-In Infotainment system. Unlike Android Auto, which mirrors your phone, IOK runs Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play Store directly inside the vehicle’s infotainment — no phone connection required.
Do I need a dealer visit?
Only for the instrument cluster upgrade the rest are plug and play.
