Problem:
Try installing a North American vpn and access the web if you can
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 from ebay and works totally fine after reprogramming through my VXDIAG VCX Nano GM GDS2 with a $40 SPS subscription.
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.
Here’s a set of screenshots showing what the reprogramming/swapping process was like for me. Hope it helps.
Swap Denso HDD with Navi and Bose on the Volt 12′:
– 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.

GDS2 ID information before reprogramming
Radio ID information pinout from GDS2, post-reprogramming
The second screenshot is just a printout from one of GDS2’s menus, nothing too different from the first screenshot aside from its formatting.
Select Radio module and Programming
Audio system selection screen, UFU+UP9 were the options my factory radio had.
Rear view Camera option selection. Pretty self-explanatory, does your car have a backup camera or no?
Audio and Equalizer options will setup the radio according to whether your car has the Bose system (UQA) or not (UZ6)
Language calibrations are similar easy enough. In this case i selected the U.S only calibration.
This is the last screen you’ll 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’m actually glad i went and did this.
Done. Reprogramming the new calibrations only took a few seconds. Then clear existing DTCs.

The PSA group bought the Opel/Vauxhall so we have to go to the PSA SERVICE BOX website to reprogram the Opel ECUs. Here are the tips on reprogram Opel ECU using a vxdiag vcx nano OpelOBD2 scanner and SPS via the PSA website.
Model Example: Opel Ampera 2012 1.4L
The vehicle can not start. GM says that what we need to do is update the versions of the K16 and K114B ECUs.
First, you need to register the Service Box website and pay for SPS subscription.
The subscription options also depend on the country from which you connect. Select an option you desired.
They offer 2 hours of subscription (it took me 53.51 euro). If you log out and reopen in another browser, press F5 and it will come back.
After paying for the ServiceBox, select Technical Information-> Opel Legacy & Chevrolet Subscriptions
You can see when the SPS programming subscription starts and ends.
The SPS procedure is the same as in the ACDelco TDS website.
Select SPS programming, accept license warning message, then install SPS
Select diagnostic interface (If there is J2534 VXDIAG, select it. If doesn’t, select J2534 Tool to connect)
Select vehicle information and device type (if failed to connect with VXDIAG Allscanner, select MDI2 instead)
Confirm VIN
First we programmed the K114B Hybrid kinematic control module 2. Wait until the procedure completed.
Erase fault code after programming the module
Then program KB16 Battery power control module. Wait until the procedure completed.
Again erase fault code when finish program 2nd module
You can program other ECU modules as well.
