Hey do any of you guys have android phones that you connect with the USB connection? If so does it charge your phone while you're using it? If not then the battery could die pretty quickly if you are streaming Pandora... Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

 

Hooked my Galaxy S4 up today via USB to charge (phone not in use, screen locked)... it's definitely a trickle charge. After about 15 mins, phone had only gone from 4% to 8% charged.

USB ports charge slower which is expected. The generally only put out about 500mA where a regular wall charger is normally 900mA at a minimum. I'm just glad to hear it's charging! :D

Has anyone heard how we are supposed to get map updates and system updates for the infotainment system?

GMNAVDISC.com is where the map updates will be purchased, most likely will be an SD card

 

"Only $199.99" for a map update if you have a 2012 truck or older... that seems reasonable :bs::puke:

I think those were DVD based. I was curious about these since they are hard drive based. I guess I was hoping since they could be updated by using the flash drive they might offer free updates to the OS for the infotainment system at the very least...

Navigation map updates are a big cash cow for every manufacturer. GM isn't going to lower their price even if you can download the update and install it yourself.

 

Haha well I'll just do what I do now with my 07 trailblazer then. Use the factory 07 disc and if I have an issue I'll check Google maps on my phone...

I didn't tell you to buy that POS radio, just supplying the info that was asked

Chill out man. My disgust is with OEM price gouging, not you.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
