Gm over the air update
Steve Martin replied to [email protected]'s topic in Modifications, Wheels & Tires
2020 only? What update is/may be coming? -
Seat belt cover popping off constsntly
Steve Martin replied to aragrev7's topic in Troubleshooting, Warranty & Recalls
I had this on my 2019 Chevy LTZ. I told dealer I didn't want any glue on it when they replaced it. The order says they replaced the part and it hasn't happened since. I do suspect they probably glued it, but I haven't messed with it because I don't want it to be popping off again. Regarding the part, there was no evidence of any breaks in the tabs or anything that looked bad on either the snap in piece or the pillar it snaps into. It would pop back in just fine, but occasionally pop out when belting up. I remember it was a PIA. Dealership ordered a new one and put it on and no issues since. I bet they glued it though which is what I would've done to fix it myself, but I was in for bigger issues and made this more of a stick it to them while I was in there item. -
5G Chevy Infotainment System
Steve Martin replied to JAshworth03's topic in 2019-2026 Silverado 1500 & Sierra 1500
dang. I thought this was going to be a thread about a possible upgrade to 5G. I read something recently that makes me think it won't be a module replacement upgrade although I would think all they would have to do is swap a module somewhere in the vehicle to accommodate the new 5G. Also read it looks like its going to be on the 2022 Chinese trucks as far as availability. Wonder why not here in the US? I realize 5G is slow to get installed at this point. The carriers are boasting 5G ultra wideband, although there isn't much availability. They are sneaking in 5G Nationwide to make it sound and look good coverage wise, but it's only supped up 4G at the moment. 5G ultra wideband is what we're waiting for really. -
Pics of running boards or Nerf Bars
Steve Martin replied to Jricharc's topic in Modifications, Wheels & Tires
They make the full length wheel to wheel ones like the pic or the standard ones like you have. Either option you want to go with. I like the wheel to wheel personally, but this is why they have so many options to soothe different tastes. -
Auxiliary wire to the cab - 2020 AT4
Steve Martin replied to loud_pipes's topic in Modifications, Wheels & Tires
I've seen a better pic of this somewhere here, but can't find it. On my 2019 there is a passthrough nub on both driver and passenger side. Some indicate there is no passthrough nub as indicated in this thread. Also, I assume GMC would be the same. I'm familiar with the Chevy. EDIT I found the pic I made of mine. I haven't had the need to use mine, but I understand you cut this front tab off and it fishes right through or maybe poke a hole big enough for the wire to pass. Then use a bit of sealant at the entry point to seal it up. Drivers side here. Dam pollen. -
Lower Center Dash Mod for bench seaters
Steve Martin replied to Jeremy Lowery's topic in Modifications, Wheels & Tires
Looks factory. Very nicely done and well documented! GM engineers could use some tips like this. I would do it, but I opted for the center console... -
What Have You Done With Your T1 Today ?????
Steve Martin replied to Sierra Dan's topic in Modifications, Wheels & Tires
Can you share the installation quirks? In channel snap in only? Any adhesive to deal with? I've never had these, so don't have any experience on installation. Edit I just downloaded the manual for these. I guess my concern here is the weathertech ones had hard time (long time) they weren't available for the LTZ model with the chrome trim, which I don't understand as it doesn't appear to be in the way of the channels. So, not sure why there would be a difference between the models with chrome or the black. -

Looking for a good phone mount
Steve Martin replied to scdaren's topic in 2019-2026 Silverado 1500 & Sierra 1500
Must not get hot where you are. That's what I call an air blocker. I have an iottie for a few years. Great device and I use the suction cup to the windshield. Doesn't restrict airflow from the vents. It's raining hard out or I would go snap a pic. -
Interesting the accessory photo shows sensors. You would think they thought of that... I'd like one too, but. I notice Newdude has parking sensors too. Maybe he will chime in.

Very nice of you. I actually got GM customer service involved fairly quickly on mine, but frustrated that the only thing you could do is try and contact my dealer and get someone to look at the issue. I can contact the dealer to have them look at it. If only I could talk to someone knowledgeable at GM about the issue, a tech maybe, who has first hand knowledge of the blue screen issue and see what they've been seeing on this. I have suspicions as I'm a software tech support level 2 rep for my company and troubleshoot stuff like this every day. But it's either all a hush hush secret that could result in a safety recall or something or nobody at GM actively knows what is happening here. Frustrating for sure. They're ordering a wiring harness for my truck which is on backorder, but I don't expect it to solve the issue. I think they are spitballing either to delay for more testing or to delay past the warranty. Next when that doesn't work, they'll replace a different component in the system and do a bit more diagnosing between the dealership tech and the GM tech... Sigh.

I was skeptical for the fix. It has returned this morning. Shot off an email to the dealer General Manager and updated. Waiting to hear back on a reply for next steps. Am I the only one still having Blue Screens?

Show Us Your 2019 & Up T1 Pictures !
Steve Martin replied to Sierra Dan's topic in 2019-2026 Silverado 1500 & Sierra 1500
I'm a vol firefighter and have visor lights on my LTZ. Looks like I see them on this one too. These are white and do wig wag? By default? Then you can use them as scene lights as well? I'm interested in the setup. Can you provide any details? I would like a red and white setup, but might be able to do white only. -
Have a dumb question on this. Does anyone's favorites actually sync with iPhone currently, with latest iOS? It looks to me to be possible, however, not designed this way. I spent this afternoon toying with it and there appears to be no link to the iphone and the favorites between the truck and/or the iphone. Seem to be independent as in I have favorites on the iphone but they don't sync. I can add favorites on the Chevy manually, but they don't sync back to the iphone. IE the feature is broken. But it looks to me like it is not setup to work this way from Chevy and only the ability to add favorites which is successful manually. The iphone is set to sync them through Bluetooth, but I think Chevy doesn't have a provision for it in the entertainment. Maybe it was possible previously and Chevy accidentally nixed this feature? What I'm asking for is if anyone can confirm it's working on iOS.

Steve, That's what they also replaced on mine, but still had the errors and blue screen, so they swapped the rear camera again. Glad to hear you're still doing good. I mentioned last time to you my wife is from Long Island. Went to a Hurricanes - Islanders game back in January and she was stuck on who to root for. Hurricanes won though. He he.

Thought I would take time to update my issue. Was at the dealer for almost 2 weeks with maintenance and other miscellaneous, AND service rear vision system. Told them I didn't want it back until it was fixed. Got it back on Friday afternoon. So... I'm skeptical it's fixed now, but so far so good. Camera wakes up immediately, like it's supposed to. I honestly don't think I've seen it work this good before and took a little getting used to since I've been watching blue screens for so long. Getting the hang of it after a few days. What bothers me and why I'm skeptical is the initial time last year I took it in for this, dealer ordered a rear camera, (tailgate handle one) ... and it proceeded to blue screen the next day after I got it back. Long story short, they worked with GM and replaced the same camera again after replacing the video processing unit which they say didn't fix so they had to regroup on the issue. After working with GM they decided to replace the rear camera and I was like, go ahead (waste of time). But since they replaced it, they said the codes cleared and haven't returned as of my pickup last week. Keeping fingers crossed. I realize things happen with parts and so forth and maybe it was a bad new part or something, but I'm just skeptical right now. They'll be the first to hear if I see the blue screen again. Anyway, wanted to update it appears for now fixed. Hope everyone else gets theirs fixed. Unfortunately, it looks like there are different fixes for the same issue out there on this, so it's not a one fix issue from what I can tell.

Blue screen and service rear vision system
Steve Martin replied to Radchad's topic in Troubleshooting, Warranty & Recalls
Thank you for that info. Took mine in yesterday and dealer reproduced issue, not hard to do... Tried the service bulletin, 19-NA-076, but still reproduced, Sent me home saying they will replace the control module and have ordered it. I assume same module you got replaced. I checked the part number 84624987 and got only a couple of hits on Google which only confirms it's a genuine GM part... Anyway, will see if this finally fixes the issue. It sounds like they contacted GM after the service bulletin didn't take care of it and this was the recommendation. Patiently waiting. Edit, after checking my invoice shows they ordered a different module part number, 84691752, module 9.680 with no (N) like yours. Wonder the difference. I have the technology package with surround cameras. -
Blue screen and service rear vision system
Steve Martin replied to Radchad's topic in Troubleshooting, Warranty & Recalls
Can you describe the camera module? Any idea where it's located, etc? I don't plan on working on it. I'll leave that to my dealer, but I wanted to give them some information to go off of. Just in case they don't call it the camera module or something. Is that what was listed as a description on your invoice? Thank you for this info. Dealer replaced my rear camera in the tailgate before and did not fix. I suspect the camera module is a piece of hardware that boots up and connects to the entertainment system somehow. I've heard of something like this under a seat or something. Just trying to gather some info and detail when I tak it in next week. -
Hey. I've been so busy I haven't had time to get this addressed. Has everyone pretty much gotten the Blue screen service rear vision system fixed now? I was just searching this and noticed a tech bulletin specific to this issue and am hopeful this may be the fix... Bulletin No.: 19-NA-076 Is anyone familiar with this? Last time I rattled my dealer was back in early November on this. I'm hoping this new information came out after and the fix in now in. Hoping... I was thinking software issue and was disappointed in the latest 807 update it still continues for me every day. Maybe this is it. Just looking to see if anyone having this issue has had it resolved now and can point to anything of note if not this bulletin. Thanks. MC-10169266-9999.pdf

2019 Silverado Sun visor removal
Steve Martin replied to Christian Welch's topic in 2019-2026 Silverado 1500 & Sierra 1500
Yes. That's the feniex bracket. I'll try and grab a pic of mine. I have the fusion. It was extremely hard to get in place, but doable. You can take the screw out, be very careful with opening the tab for the screw, but then there is no obvious way to tilt or maneuver anything to get it to loosen up. I barely was able to inch the bracket under and into place. I would love to know how the visor clip is removed. Would make it so much easier to install. Hopefully you got past this by now, but I'll snap a pic and post if I can. The other bracket for the other side of the visor is easier to figure out, but a bit complicated still. Take a pic or two before it comes all apart. Again, hopefully you got this by now. I got a couple of pics. Driver's side. -
Let us know. And which side if you can too. I just called my dealer service manager to get the ball rolling again on this yesterday. Waiting to hear back when he investigates how they want to tackle. I might be able to point him in a direction if this holds true. They first tried replacing my tailgate camera. Now every now and again, I find the tailgate push button assembly popped out a bit and have to push it back in. I guess a weakened tab from prying it out. I mentioned it on my last visit and they couldn't reproduce the issue. ??? Replace the dam thing! I had three pictures and showed them when I dropped it off. Another reason I don't want them to start taking the truck apart to replace this and that without having an idea what they are trying to fix here. I'll end up with rattles and more inside when they start prying the dash apart to replace the inside I'm sure.

There is a tech bulletin on this behavior. They call it still busy (booting up I guess). The check for this is to wait 45 seconds to shift and rule out the issue of quickly shifting. I call BS on this. I can let mine boot up for several minutes, not even shift and reveal the blue screen. The shift only reveals the underlying issue I believe.

Sucks bad. If I had the time in my life, which I don't, to go play back and forth with the dealer to get this fixed, the truck would be in there every day at this point. I have noticed the following. start in the morning. let warm up a few minutes. gives time for all the electronics to be happy, but shouldn't have to. don't have to shift at all. just go to the camera screen option, blue screen. point being don't think it has anything to do with shifting to or through reverse. doing so only reveals the issue at hand. leave it on the camera screen (blue with message) until some random time during my 30 minute morning work commute, it wakes up. then seems to function ok. park at work. go to lunch. random if going to blue screen. if blue screen, very quick less than 1 minute to wake up. leave work for day seems to work ok, but can randomly throw blue screen with very little wake up time. All that said, seems to be worse in the morning when sitting overnight. possible booting issue after sitting overnight. Of course shouldn't be the case, but something in the boot process seems to hang and cause this. Rear view mirror camera screen is fully functional at all times. So I at least know that one is working properly. Again, if I had time... I need to get this into the dealer to check out from my recent back and forth with Chevrolet support. Just don't have time to futz with this not working and frustrating because it is a safety issue. I had to back out in a bad spot the other night in the rain, messy weather at night, tons of activity, and blue screen. No help from a perfectly good tool I should have had access to.

Tried to file a complaint with Chevrolet. Got a case and someone who is working with my dealer to get them to check into my issue. What? I can work with my dealer and piss them off every other week with a new appointment to have them fix it... I'm looking for a tier 2 or tier3 or whatever person who can understand what this is doing to speak with and possible fixes. I work in software support all day and find defects in our software to address. This smells of a software defect of some sort to me, but what do I know. I'm playing nice right now, but very pissed off that something like this is not being dealt with properly. They are supposed to call me back with a dealer rep to work with to resolve on Monday. Can't wait to see what he knows about this issue. Couple of things I suspect and curious about. I have the Technology package which includes the surround cameras. I'm curious if it has something to do with this package option. I drove a loaner without this package and backup camera was 100%. I'm thinking the difference in this package option is either putting too much stress on the system, overwhelming the computer, or something of that nature. It's totally random, but if I leave this screen on, after a period of time, again random, it will finally wake up and work. I timed it on my way to work last week at about 30 minutes. Then it worked just fine. Then turned off the truck to stop and get some breakfast and blue screen again for about 2 minutes, then it woke up just before arriving at work. Where in Long Island are you? Wife was born and raised in Huntington. Good luck to all having this issue. I think it's some sort of software defect GM will have to address. I doubt it's hardware related.

Been having this issue since purchased in May. Dealer can't figure it out. Getting ready to file a complaint with somebody. Very annoying. Blue screen of death every morning and there's a bulletin about starting up and shifting too quickly into reverse without computer booting up fully. This is not the issue. GM needs to fix whatever crap they put in these trucks.
