Advent released this information today regarding the DST bug that affected iGo Primo-equipped head units:

 

 

Complaint: Since Daylight Savings Time my clock has been off for one hour.

 

Issue: Nav-N-Go the makers of iGO My Way maps has identified a glitch in some time zones that causes the map software to adjust the radio clock one hour in advance of the actual time.

 

Solution: iGO will release a map system update on Thursday April 12, 2012 to correct this situation. In order to receive this update; remove the SD card from the radio, place it in a SD Card reader attached to their computer and go to www.naviextras.com on the internet. When the update is loaded on the Map there is no further changes needed. There is no update to run in the radio. When finished just re-insert the SD card into the radio and run the map as usual.

 

Once at Naviextras.com you must register the map (yes this is free) and download the Naviextras Toolbox program. There are step by step instructions in the lower left corner of the page in a box labeled “How To Get Started”. The instructions even include pictures to show how to complete the installation and get the update.

 

The Naviextras website is a great resource, it will make updates to the map operating system, offer a free map backup, and allow additional mapping information such as Red Light and Speed Camera databases to be purchased and added to the navigation system. By loading the map into your computer and checking back with Naviextras from time to time you will be able to stay up to date with all changes.

 

This is also where you can purchase a new map upgrade when available.

 

As a FREE service to the user, the system will check the map the first time it is run in the Naviextras Tool Box program and if a map data update is available, this will be done for free. This is an update that adds streets, addresses and POI (Points Of Interest). This is a $99.00 value.

 

Note: This must be run within 90 days of purchasing and navigating with the system the first time. Map operating system updates are always free, Map upgrades and updates must be paid for at the time of downloading from Naviextras.com. Advent does not sell or offer updates.

 

Please also note that iGO is a third party vendor, Advent Tech support cannot make changes or assist with naviextras.com web site interaction or issues. If you have a problem at the web site please click on the “SUPPORT” tab at the top of the page and follow the instructions listed in order to have your question about the web site answered.

 

THIS UPDATE IS ONLY FOR iGO MAPPING IN ADVENT OE SPECIFIC RADIOS – THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH NAVMATE BY HORIZON OR ON ANY OTHER RADIO. USING THIS UPDATE IN A RADIO NOT LISTED MAY CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO OPERATE INCORRECTLY OR NOT AT ALL.

Thank you Walt! I find it interesting that the problem was with the NAV software and not with the OS.

Me too, but I don't know if the problem was with the time/date information that's passed to the OS by the navi or what exactly the relationship is. The important thing is that they've identified it and are fixing it...

Got the updates this morning. Put the SD Card in the reader, started Naviextras Toolbox, signed in and everything worked automatically. I made a backup as suggested by the prompt, which took about 10 minutes and then the system updated itself. The clock problem appears to be fixed as advertised.

 

You will be prompted to put the SD Card back into the truck and start the NAV - then remove the card and go back to Naviextras for more updates, which I've done. The system will then update the maps with the most recent data. I'm doing that now and it's taking some time. My estimate to complete is about two hours at the present rate. I decided to go ahead with the map updates while they are available and also to ensure I have the most recent maps and info. You can choose to wait, but there is a chance that the map updates won't be available later due to time restraints.

 

Editing this post to say that each state map is updated individually by the system, which is probably a good feature in that a lost connection with the internet won't require a complete restart of the download to finish the update. iGO will know which states are up-to-date and only download those that still need the updates.

It should fix the problem - try it and see. Also, make sure you have the time zone set correctly for your area.

I updated mine last night. It didn't update any of maps, though, as far as I can tell. There was no second download after the initial update.

The only thing the software will do is enable you to download updates. :lol:

 

The interface is web-based. I have it on my work laptop which has a real aggressive virus/spyware/malware protection package and I haven't heard a peep from it.

 

 

Did the first update last night. Said I had to go restart the deck before proceeding with the map update. I got sidetracked generating reports for work and I did those till it hurt to look at the computer so I went to bed. :lol: First update fixed the clock issue. Maps being updated now.

Too late for me to test this theory, but if someone has not applied the update yet, if they would enable the DST in the IGO settings, then restart their OGM-1. After it restarts, go into Settings, page 2, and set your time correctly, and make sure the time zone is correct. BTW, make sure Nav is NOT set to run auto on start up. Do not start NAV at all. Listen to radio, or watch dvd. See if the time changes on its own. I know that if NAV is run, the clock does change on its own.

If the time stays correct when NAV is not loaded, but changes when it is loaded, this means NAV is pulling time from the satellights, and applying DST rules incorrectly, then updating the o/s.

Mine is working correctly with the fix.

After the update I've seen a major upgrade in the NY maps :)

 

 

Good to hear! Not too bad for free, huh?

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
