Agree with tj1973. I listen to talk radio and music stations, so I'm constantly changing to auto tone settings. But the screen won't go back to the main radio screen after making such changes. You have to manually surf through the screens. I'm getting better at doing it through the steering wheel and DIC, but a firmware/software update would fix those minor issues.

Don't get me wrong I like my Truck. But when you lay this amount for a vehicle, you expect more. Tis system is terrible. I should at least be able to change the screens using the steering wheel controls. Or page thru my favorites without trying to slide my finger across the screen, which most of the time doesn't work. Anybody else got any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or is it the same for everybody.

My favorites disappeared. It a real pain to get them to come up. I've been practicing using the steering wheel and getting better at it. But setting them is no fun. My dealer erased them all last visit, now I have to do it all over again! Lol

While this system has issues it is better than the Ford system, I traded a 2013 Explorer because the system was difficult to use and would lock up and when I would take it to the dealer they would tell me " could not duplicate fault". One time half of the dash stopped working. This system while limited see to me to be more reliable then Fords.

 

I have a 2011 Edge and that system is hands down better then this one. IMO, of course.

Had a rental Edge over Thanksgiving. Hated it. Stupid touch controls for heat and radio are impossible to use by feel and Sync is garbage.

I'm with everyone. I really hope a upgrade comes out.

I was browsing through my settings tonight and seen where it had a software update. I called the customer service line and they said it needs to be taken to the dealer for them to update it.The lady said she hasnt had anyone else call about this. just wondering if anyone else had seen this before?

Okay, I took my truck in this a.m. There is a ticking noise coming from the ending like it is a lifter or what we use to vall a "Tap It" when I was kid growing up. While there I told them that the heated seats was not working with the remote start. They told me that the lights on the heated and cooled seats button do not come on in the remote start phase but that the seats do heat and or cool during the remote start. So, unlike my 2011 Acadia which does illuminate the button lights in the remote phase, this new 2014 Sierra does not, and no way of knowing whether it is actually working. At 4* degrees this morning it sure as heck did not feel like it. Anybody else notice a ticking noise in their new engine.

Not sure exactly what you're hearing, but I think the prevailing opinion is that the direct injection makes that kind of ticking noise.

What does this have to do with the infotainment system?

Doesn't . But if you had read earlier part this thread, someone ask about the remote start aspect in conjunction with heated and cooled seats and why the lights on the seat buttons do not illuminate. As far as the infotainment system is concerned most all of us are in agreement, it is absolutely awful. Personally, this system really takes the enjoyment out of owning a new vehicle

One thing missing from the NAV maps is, as you are driving down the interstate the distance to the exits are gone. Remember in previous models as you are driving, on the right half of the screen the NAV would not only give you the next 4 or 5 exits and their distance to them but also the attractions at the exit, ie., gas, food, etc... This new system does not. You have to select these in your POI's and then they pop up on screen. Usually a little too late to see. I did learn that pushing the NAV button (middle screen right end) changes the map aspect. Also on the right side of the screen near middle top where the arrival time is located, if you push touch that time it will toggle between arrival time and distance to destination and how long or duration of the trip.

I'll post what I want and ask what I want! Got it, pal.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
