So I am having the same problem as the first post in this thread. My presets disappeared. I called GM and they told me to drag them back up, just like described in this thread. I must be doing something wrong because that is not working. At the bottom of my screen, I have the voice button, then backward seek, pause, forward seek and the menu button. Whenever I touch the bottom part of the screen and swipe up, it just pushes the button closest to my finger instead of dragging my presets up. Am I missing something here?

Takes a special touch, my wife can get them to swipe up but I cannot. Must be my fat fingers.

That's definitely what I wanted to do. I couldn't get it to work nor could the wife. I ended up resetting to factory settings as someone earlier in the thread recommended and that worked. Happy the presets are back, but it shouldn't be that difficult.

Has anyone put a screen protector on their screens yet? I have not seen anyone post about this... I have screen protector material, like what we put on our phones and as soon as it warms up a bit we will be applying to the 14 Silverado, 13 Cruze and 12 Equinox.

Try swiping them up, but as soon as you see them begin to appear remove your finger. Mine just pop right up. If you touch the screen until they fully appear, they go away again. Took me a few times to get used to it.

Yep...I put a screen protector on mine. I'm a little disappointed that it made the display a shade darker but it's a cheap one that came from Ebay. I'll pull it off soon & put a better quality one on.

 

Here's what you need to do based on the install on my Denali that has the 8" screen with Navigation. Pull the trim piece off...I used a dull kitchen knife & began at a top corner. It comes off pretty easily. There are 4 bolts that hold the radio in...I believe they are 9/32"...take those out. Then, the radio has two friction clips...one on each side. It took me awhile to figure that out because you can't see them. You'll just need to pull on it with enough force to get it to pop out. Next, there are approx. 10 Torx screws that hold the screen on...I think they're #10. Take those out & you'll be able to work with the screen. There are two small ribbon connectors that I didn't take loose. I've never seen any like them so didn't fool with them. I had my wife hold the screen while I applied the screen saver. I then used a straight edge razor blade to trim it. Just go in reverse order to put it back together.

 

I like the fact that I can now safely use a screen saver cleaner & not worry about it. It's not as big of a job as you might expect.

 

The screen is actually a little larger than it looks like once you get it loose but if your screen protector doesn't cover it entirely, that's OK as long as it's centered as the trim will cover the edges. I'm probably going to get a Zagg Smudge Proof one for a tablet soon & put it on. I have one on my iPad mini & like it.

Hopefully an easy question: I assigned 45 of my presets but only want 15 of them. Anyone know how to delete the presets and start over??

Here's another dumb question. I have a 2015 GMC Sierra and want to move my preset stations around to different positions. Is that possible?

Plasman,

 

I see that you awesome fellow forum members were able to help you with changing the name on your preset stations. I just wanted to let you know that GM Customer Care is on the forums as well and are happy to assist with any general questions or concerns you may have about GM products. We are only a private message away!

Why does my wife's 2012 $26k Equinox save the stations by the XM name (ie "Classic Rewind", "Classic Vinyl" etc), but on my 2014 $54k High Country I have to manually name them? Things that make you go hmmm....

I agree I had to do the same on my 14 LTZ. My 15 LTZ saves them by name though.

Here is another preset question:

 

I used to have about 55 presets including XM stations, Now I can only add a max of 18. it shows open places to add them, but will not let me add anymore. Any idea what to do? I'm going to try factory reset maybe, before taking it in.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
