ASA Electronics and GMC have announced that the first 2020 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty trucks have arrived at dealerships. The 2020 models include ProGrade Trailering System for GMC, offering compatibility with select features of iN∙Command Control Systems.
iN∙Command Control Systems offer remote control features for slide-outs, climate-scheduling, and generator functions, as well as monitoring water, fuel, and battery levels. Owners of the 2020 Sierra HD will be able to control, and monitor select functions of their RV like turning on their air conditioner or checking tank levels using the myGMC mobile App or through the in-vehicle touchscreen via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
“Though this partnership we’ve been able to create an invaluable connection between an end user’s truck and RV. We put virtually everything they need on their phone, and now it can be on their dash, too,” said Jim Hess, ASA Electronics’ VP of RV sales. “The connectivity and brand exposure through GMC dramatically increase the value of building RVs with iN∙Command installed.”
The latest update for the myGMC mobile app, now available to eligible users through the Apple App Store and the Google Play store, adds this new feature for next generation 2019 Sierra 1500, as well as 2020 GMC Sierra heavy duty trucks. The myGMC mobile app can now communicate with and control select functions of RVs using iN∙Command with Global Connect.
“We are focused on improving the towing experience, whether you are trailering for the first time or are an expert who tows every weekend,” said Tony Johnson, director of truck strategy for General Motors. “Offering the ASA Electronics iN∙Command Control System integration on 2020 GMC Sierra trucks is a great example of that commitment. We are excited to offer our customers the ability to access the power of the iN∙Command system right from their myGMC smartphone app or through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.”
Select iN∙Command Control Systems are also compatible with the Chevrolet 2020 Silverado HD through the myChevrolet mobile app. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD and the 2020 GMC Sierra HD are on sale now.
