POMPANO BEACH, FL (02.02.26) – RDVFL, a leader in innovative car-infotainment solutions, unveils the GM-1318, a 15.6-Inch Tesla-Style Screen for 2013-2019 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Pickup Trucks With 4”, 7” and 8” OEM Screens.

Rich De Sclafani, the CEO of RDVFL stated – With the extreme success of our screen upgrade for the 19-26 Silverado & Sierra, we migrated that concept over to the 13-19 vehicles. The concept is the same, this is a SCREEN UPGRADE ONLY. This IS NOT a full radio replacement. The OEM radio stays fully functional through the new screen. This allows ALL, 100% of the OEM features to be retained. We are the only 12volt company taking this approach to upgrading the infotainment in GM and FORD vehicles. We are so confident in the performance, stability and reliability that we have an industry leading 3 YEAR WARRANTY on all our screen upgrades and radio replacement products.

 The best and easiest way to find out if we have a screen to fit your vehicle is to use the vehicle selector on the website, just put in the year, make and model of the vehicle and the upgrades available will be there to click on.

These are screen upgrades only, they do not replace the radio itself. The OEM screen is removed and the new screen comes with vehicle specific mounting brackets and plug  n’ play harness for the screen. The OEM radio works and functions 100% through the new screen.

Key Features of the RDVFL GM-1318 15.6-Inch Tesla-Style Screen:

• 15.6-Inch Vertical Touchscreen: A high-definition, capacitive touchscreen that delivers a crystal-clear display and responsive user experience.
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Equipped with wireless connectivity, allowing drivers to seamlessly connect their smartphones for access to music, apps, navigation, and hands-free communication without the hassle of cables.
• Plug-and-Play Installation: Designed for simplicity, this system offers a fully plug-and-play setup, meaning no complex wiring or modifications are required—just an easy, straightforward installation process.
• Three-Year Warranty: RDVFL backs this product with a comprehensive three-year warranty, ensuring peace of mind and customer satisfaction.
• Retains ALL of the OEM Features: Keeps 100% of the OEM features, ONSTAR, SAT RADIO, 360 CAMERA, REAR CAMERA, TRAILER CAMERA, CAMERA ZOOM, CAMERA ANGLES, ALL WARNING SIGNALS (AUDIBLE & VISUAL) and FULL USE OF THE OEM RADIO

This is a screen upgrade. This DOES NOT replace the OEM radio. The OEM radios stays intact and can be used through the RDVFL screen.
