Here I'll go out to my truck.. My onstar remote link isnt working and they want me to call from my truck anyway. Its just so bloody cold I dont wanna go outside haha. I'll get back to you. None of those options sound familiar to me.. But I have played with it much yet. I saw some thing for EQ, but no way to adjust it... Just simple treble, mid, and bass settings.

 

Will report back.

Swoopsd - I don't have those settings on my BOSE/NAVI All Terrain. Sell your truck cause you will never be happy.

 

To everyone - why fight with ipods, cords, etc, etc, etc.... just put everything on one little SD card and be done with it. So much easier.. I would 32gb or 64gb is enough? I have a ton on music.. all on 8gb card.

It's nice to play off an IPhone or android. That way you only have to maintain one device with content and play lists.

I use a Galaxy Note3 and connect via bluettoth. I use google play and it works fantastic.

 

PS. You will need a phone if you want to use the Pandora Functionality.

can you navigate the SD music easily? Playlists, etc?

To answer your question no one has the text message capability yet. It's probably coming in a future update...

I use a 16 gig USB flash drive and yes, it's very easy to navigate through music and/or playlists.

This is the audio menu screen

That is what tone settings gives me.... The Custom on the bottom isn't a button, it does nothing.

Because I have LOTS of music... I'll just have to go through and take the time to put it on the usb stick I have.. Gonna return the SD card I have because I can;t get a definitive answer as to what works and Im sick of screwing around buying and returning things. I need 64 gigs to fit all my music, which I like to have with me at all times. I'm always on the road. I've only had the truck for like 5 days.. And ive been working for 4 of them.. So haven't had time to mess around much. This is me figuring it out as I go.

The first sd card I got would not work eather. Went to Walley world. Told the girls in electronics I wanted the fastest sd card they have. Put every thing on the new sd card. No problem with music or movies. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Why would they put the Test Messaging feature in the manual if it's not offered... thats crazy.

 

Thanks VMaxtastic!! That looks like mine. Only difference is my Software Version is 23203140.

 

GMC-AT, you're happy with something that doesn't work the way it should when you buy it? That's not exactly helpful.

If I buy something and it claims it does something, it should do it. Otherwise its False Advertising.

I don't see a problem with holding GMC accountable for making something and it's broken. I'm asking for help from this group.

Obviously, selling my truck isn't help, it's a BS answer from someone who has zero useful information to give. I don't care you use an SD card.

I shouldn't have to buy and SD card for it to work. GMC say it will work with my iPOD. I don't think that's too much to ask.

 

Please try not to be ridiculous. I'm just looking for fixes. Not worthless responses.

@ SkunkStripe

 

Can you tell me what brand it is? How big is it? What are it's transfer speeds? Like I'm hoping I just got an incompatible 64 GB one. It cant be formatted to FAT 32, only ExFAT, which I believe is my problem. I love how the system works, just need to figure out what is compatible, and what isn't, because GM doesn't seem to be able to tell me.. Only vague answers.

 

 

FYI, I think it's a bit unfair to attack Swoopsd.. He's being pretty reasonable, simply asking why things that were advertised to work, do not.

I'm pretty sure it can also read NTFS. (not staking my life on it)

I have a 2 TB Hard drive connected via USB. Works like a charm.

The HD is USB 3.0

I have an iPod Classic 30 gig that has been working since day 2 of having the truck, end of October. I also have a SanDisk 64gig SD card with all of music set to go when the iPod dies since I bought it back in '05 or so. The SD card I formatted in NTFS if I remember right. FAT32 was an option from the manual but NTFS I feel is better. This was on a PC but when I seleteced format FAT and NTFS were 2 of the options besides EXFAT but EXFAT is not supported by the infotainment system. The manual says it supports playlists but I haven't tried them yet. If you are not using playlists and your music is broken up in sub-directorties by group and album the system seems to lock onto 1 album and plays it over and over. I had to move all the files in 1 directory to get random play of the all of the music (about 4k files). The system still shows the songs by group or album so long as the meta-data is set in the mp3 files.

Really???? That's awesome! I'm going to try to format it to NTFS, and see if it is recognized that way. So you just run an external in your center console?

 

Are the USB ports in our trucks USB 3.0 or 2.0? I couldn't find that in the manual either.

Seatec. Thats awesome. The manual states externals won't work. Did you plug it into the 120v Outlet for external power? Or it runs off the usb? I know my 1TB runs off the USB. Just surprised ti works. LOL Maybe I'll be giving that a try for fun.

      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.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      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.
