Just an FYI for those of you playing tunes from the card, it will never sound as good as a spinning disc, none of them do.

Whether you're talking about CDs or vinyl, it doesn't matter. Try hauling around hundreds of CDs and fumbling through them when you want a song. SD cards are looking pretty good now!

For SD card users, make sure it is SDHC (32GB and smaller) and not SDXC (64GB and greater). SDXC cards don't appear to work.

 

Also, format your SD card before using it. Then try just a few files. If they work, add more.

 

That's what I have learned so far....

The SDXC 64 GB card works fine in my truck. The post scphilli linked was how I got mine working. Follow the PDF attached in the post step by step and your files will work.

I think I tried it once and it was a no go... great idea though when you are out checking cameras.

That's what I was told too- not happy. I would think it wouldn't be a big deal to add a dvd player in the glove compartment though and have it display on the screen, whether or not you want it to work while driving is up to you and the installer, personally I would like the feature for occupants, I obviously wouldn't use it while driving.

It is a DVD player but I think you may need to have the rear seat entertainment package. I can watch DVDs if it's in park and of course the kids can watch in the back.

Make sure you're using MP3s for your music on the SD card. I had some songs that had been saved as WMA and the audio quality was terrible in the vehicle. I figured out that it was because they weren't saved as MP3s when I transferred them. I fixed that and now they sound much better. The higher the bitrate, the better they will sound.

I have been downloading youtube videos and putting them on my 64gb sd card. I'm sure some of you are already doing this, but, I thought it was pretty cool. About every song is available on youtube then you get a video with it.

 

What you do is start the youtube video, pause it, in the address bar type in ss between www. ss youtube with no spaces.

 

It kick you off to savefrom.net, wait a bit for the video to load, then you click on mp4 360p in your download size choices.

 

Throw it on your SD card and of course it takes a while for you see it in your truck, touch [more], then [videos].

 

 

Bump for us new 15 owners.

Sorry for dredging up an old post, and sorry if anyone has since replied along these very lines -- but that isn't entirely true. SDXC cards can work, but it'll require a little extra legwork on the user's part to format them properly for our vehicles.

 

Although Windows (and my Macbook) wanted to format anything over 32 gb in size -- including my SDXC cards -- as ExFAT and not FAT32, there are third-party formatting tools that allow you to partition/format larger sizes in FAT32. Just used such a tool on a 64GB SDXC card that, upon initial attempts to use in the truck under ExFAT formatting, would not be recognized by Intellilink/MyLink. Now it's recognized and plays back my MP3 files just fine. Time to build a rolling jukebox! :-)

 

Hope this might help someone

Sorry for a thread resurrection:

 

Most of the time this is due to poor compression. To save on file size a lot of people compress their MP3s/AAC files to 128kbps or something. It sounds like crap.

 

CD audio sounds better - but if you rip to 256kbps VBR (Variable Bit Rate) it sounds a lot better. 320kbps sounds identical to CDs for most people but the file sizes are much larger.

 

FLAC is completely uncompressed but is huge file size and doesn't have as wide a compatibility.

In September I got my new truck. 2016 2500HD work truck. It has the basic bare bones radio. I loaded some music to an SD card. When I try to search my music I get this screen. The music seems to be in no particular order even though it's in alphabetical order on the card. I can't find any other menus or methods of searching for a particular song. What are the "T" numbers on the side and how do I get rid of them? The manual is no help at all.

maybe the track number, or number that they are loaded and read on the card. Track 64, track 65, etc......

I have mine separated into artists folders and can change settings to show artists or just folders on mine.

Does the '17 Chevy Silverado have an SD card slot? No mention of it in the manual.

      The Peckish Synapse

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
