I am pretty sure he knew what I was asking. I just don't think he knows what he is talking about.

Tom, I think you are talking about something else. I have 8 years of connected access which was free. To make everything work, I have connected access, remote access and now connect plus for data to make things the dealer sold me on work. You lose speed limit sign feature and some google features without it. Its stupid. The phone can do all that through bluetooth but GM thinks they need to rip their customers off by adding what is really another layer of pay.

I don't use Apple so no carplay for me. Besides he is talking about streaming video using the data I am paying for with the new unlimited data plan I just signed up for.

So my connected plan plan apparently ran out today as the truck stopped playing text messages. Stupidest thing ever charging for that. I can see charging for stuff that downloads data but for crying out loud the phone is connected via bluetooth and is doing all the work. GM should comp me the plan anyway for all infotainment system issues I have had over the first year that they have no fix for. Couldnt even use the data I was paying for half the time. Anyway, I am off track and wishing I did not buy the truck ! So, talked to an advisor today and signed up for a connect plus plan. Advisor swears I can stream video while parked from the FRONT seat. How? What app?

Welcome to GMs horrible abortion they call infotainment system. My 24 LTZ has 5000 miles and is 1 year old and been in shop with dozens of Nav issues, radio dropping out, locking up and constant "loading content" screens. Currently waiting for GM to ship the dealer a new radio which I am pretty sure won't fix the issues. They have already replaced the amp. If you search online you will find that everyone complains. Complain to your dealer.

Hope I did not sound unappreciative or snarky as that was not intent. For my lifestyle its just nice to have the Fob in my pocket and not take it out all day. In the winter when its sub zero its just nice to run into the quicky mart for a soda or into a customers to drop something off and not shut the truck off. Thanks again.

Ahh. Same setup.

I am sure that works. But I don't take fob out of my pocket all day. And I don't want to shut it off and restart it. It does that on its own more than I like as is it. Just should be an easy way to lock it why running.

Which recall? It's been back for software updates 2 times in the 6 months I have owned it. It's slightly less quirky than when I bought it.

I used to do that with my 2017 High Country but that was different system. I have been unable to get my drivers door to lock with it running. I thought the manual said hold the lock and extended amount of time. Maybe I did not hold it long enough.

I am having random issues where I will be driving down the road and get a text. It shows up on the infotainment screen but its not showing up on the phone. Most the time it works and as far as I know I am not having any missing text when not connected to truck. Just frustrating to not fully read the text on the truck expecting it to be on the phone to read when I get stopped not to find it there. On another note, anyone know how to get out of the vehicle and lock the door with it running with the Fob in your pocket?

My screen does not blank at same time the audio blanks out. The audio issue is the least annoying part for me. I often get cannot connect when trying to do Hey Google commands. The maps section of screen will not work for 10 minutes at a time and the audio side of screen will hang up and not respond often even though the music is still playing. I am getting pretty good about tossing it in park at a stop light press and holding the end call to start the soft reset process which fixes the issues most of the time. I had a bunch of different issues before the last update like telling me I needed a Youtube premium account when in fact I had one as I could go to Youtube Music icon and start it directly. I am sure I am forgetting a lot of the hiccups. Guess I just did not expect these kids of issues from the truck. My 17 High Country worked great but in all fairness the refresh trucks have a lot more tech.

It never stops but 90% of my drives are less than 15 minutes long so I don't know beyond that. It just mutes for 1 second and comes back. If I had to guess, I would say it does it every 2 minutes. Does to matter the media. FM, USB, Youtube Music.

I called dealer and they acknowledged its a common issue across several models. Not going to lie, it ticks me off that you spend $70k on a truck, sign up for a required data plan to make "all' the stuff work and the thing has tons of issues. I am not a big fan of this body style to start with but the refresh dash with technology package was one of the main reasons I decided to trade 'up'. Or so it seemed at time. I am just going to wait a couple months and see if GM comes out with any fixes.
