My 2016 Silverado has a very hard time connecting to Pandora, ONLY off the built in "infotainment" APP. I currently do not have 4g LTE WIFI in the truck, and every time i hit the Pandora app on the info screen I assume it connects to my phone so I assume Pandora is playing off my phones connection ? Can some confirm if I had WIFI in my truck it would play from the trucks own WIFI signal and save my phones battery? When I plug my phone into the USB in center console I can then use Android Auto, and Pandora launches flawlessly through that.? I'm open to other options for wifi in my truck? I have Verizon cell phone service, so wanted to use the Hotspot off my phone, but not sure how to connect my truck to my phones hotspot... Also though about using an old Android phone plugged into the center console USB connection and having that off my current phones hotspot signal....(so connect old phone to new phones hotspot WIFI signal, use old phone only for Android Auto. ) *I also have a 2018 Camaro SS and when i launch Pandora in that car it plays off its own WIFI and infotainment app. So essentially No phone is required...

Can some confirm if I had WIFI in my truck it would play from the trucks own WIFI signal and save my phones battery? Also will it continue to launch Pandora on my phone or play off its own app built into the infotainment screen?

Thanks for the replies. Ill check Amazon for that battery backup charging system... Any suggestions?

I have a 2016 Silverado Z71, comes with the stock 110~120 volt outlet on the dash. Wanted to know if the outlet has power with the truck off? I wanted to charge my Milwaukee drill batteries overnight ... Think that will drain my trucks battery if i did it for a few hours at night? Just curious.

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been asked several times already, but wanted to upgrade the front and rear brakes on the Silverado. Found that Powerstop makes a full setup kit, which has front and rear rotors and pads, for around $425.00 Also thought about piecing the kit together EBC rotors and pads, Hawk pads etc.? Wanted to know what you guys are running, and open to suggestions... Not towing, or running heavy loads, just want a good stopping power with NO brake rotor warping. Its a daily.

Hey guys, wanted to upgrade the brakes on my 2016 Silverado. Obviously the Powerstop K6560-36 Front & Rear Z36 Brake kit came up, and seemed to have overall decent reviews, but I wanted to hear from the guys running them currently... Ups ,downs, and how hard is it to do the rear brakes? My Silverado unfortunately, suffered from the front inside pads binding / rusting up in the slide cradle and caused my rotors to warp. I blame North Jersey road salt and the crap winter we had... I drove it around this spring and now its to the point that it needs to be done. My truck only has 12k miles on her and I don't really want to do brakes every year due to the dam road salt. So I figured do a full front and rear brake "performance" setup, grease the hell out of the cradles and sliders, and see if that helps, repair this issue from happening again. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip to get the Raybestos rotors . Would I have to get new brake pads as well? The current ones seem like new... I guess I'll start with swapping the front rotors then go from there.

Have a 2016 Silverado, with only 10k miles . Seems like my rotors are warped already. Is this common? Only drive to and from work mostly and moderate stop and go, No towing or any heavy loads. So, do i get my stock rotors resurfaced or say screw it and get the Powerstop brake kit upgrade, with new Pads and Slotted rotors?

Does anyone have updated pics of the Gloss black ones on the stock18" Silver rims? I would like to see how they cover the inside of the rim..

Interesting.. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7. Wonder if we can do something to our phones to make the blue tooth connect better? (or) Wonder if Chevy has any updates for this, because in my 2018 Camaro SS I have NO issues at all...Pandora launches perfect and takes like one second to connect.

Hey guys, I have a 2016 Silverado with the My- link infotainment setup. I had a full year of 4g LTE in the truck, and the Pandora app in the truck seemed to work ok, its still had problems like "connected device not found"...But now without the 4gLTE and just using my Verzion network it never works. I have to Open the app on my phone now and try three or four times on my trucks my link system to get it to connect. Is it a phone WIFI issue or the truck? Guys who only have cell service and not the trucks WIFI is this normal? I have full Verizon 4gLTE service on my phone when trying to connect. I hit the Pandora app on my link to launch the app, it says Pandora issue "connected device not found" .Then if i go back to the audio / radio, launch the app on my phone, and then re-launch the Pandora app on mylink it "sometimes" connects. But that takes two-three time to do...super annoying! I also have the Pandora plus app, and the app works perfectly in my 2018 Camaro...? I use to be able to just hit the app on my-Link and it would auto connect and stream with no issues, i did not even have to take the phone out of my pocket...

I really like that idea so I can sill have the stock 12volt outlet free if need be. Can you send me a link for that 10' 12v socket? Also out of the box did you have to set up your A119S or is it a plug and play setup. I just got mine from Amazon today.

Question: By moving the 50A fuse to the port above, does that effect any other equipment in the truck?

Wanted to know if the 12volt plug under the dash powers off after a while..? The dash cam I ordered off Amazon ( A119S Version 2) plugs into the 12v "cigarette lighter" plug under the dash for power. Was going to run the power wire under the dash up the passenger side panel and behind the rear view mirror, hopefully the camera comes with a long enough power wire.

I originally ran with TM off (disabled) and also noticed strange shift habits, normally under light load or a range of 20~40mph while light driving around town. So I changed my original parameters from this : 12/21/2016 The settings I have used on my 2016 Silverado 5.3L 6 speed Auto w/ 3.42 gears are, 87 octane Performance tune. Firm Shift Transmission tune - ON DOD (AFM )- OFF TORQUE Management - (OFF) Throttle boost - (range is 0-25% ) I have it set at 3%, *Curious to know if anyone else has messed with this setting? Adjusted + 50rpm in gear and + 50rpm in neutral and park. Mods- Currently Running K&N Black Hawk Series CAI, w/ a full Banks Performance Stainless Steel cat back. ........................................................................................................................................................................ Now: as of 4/11/2017 87 octane Performance tune. Firm Shift Transmission tune - ON DOD (AFM )- OFF TORQUE Management - *(ON) Throttle boost - (range is 0-25% ) Now I have it set at *10%, Adjusted + 50 rpm in gear and + 50 rpm in neutral and park. Mods- Currently Running K&N Black Hawk Series CAI, w/ a full Banks Performance Stainless Steel cat back. I did not notice any power lost on up shifts, and with the slight bump in the throttle boost, the truck kinda "feels" quicker?
