2014 Silverado/Sierra Tips and Tricks

Michael Swafford · August 15, 2015

When I was shopping a salesman showed me that trick. Unfortunately he knew a few other tricks and forgot about a thousand dollar rebate so I bought my truck from another dealer with a few less tricks.

My camera shows my draw bar without looping the cable. Just throw it in reverse and go.

So just to confirm... The black rubber pad no longer comes in the bottom of the cup holder? My '10 had the rubber pad, my '14 does not have one. I noticed the slots in the bottom of the cup holders last night and was thinking how dumb that design is. I want to make sure my '14 is not missing the rubber pad...

Can't find the thread but there was a guy claiming after he worked hard at it there were three tabs on the back underside of the console that he could finally get it out to clean. Haven't tried myself.

Here is one thread about the cup holders.

NAV View Shortcut - maybe old news to some

on the radio screen at the top is the nav-music-weather- ... icons

If you touch and hold the nav icon you can scroll thru the VIEWS offered - like 3D, or North Up ... and select one

I just went to check my truck today too to see if I had this setting and I do not. Could this be an slt only setting? I have aan sle all terrain so iI have the folding mirrors.

I'm in the same Boat 2015 SLE All Terrain with power fold mirrors and under comfort and convenience I only have chime volume. Must be the NAV option Head Unit.

Might be worth checking to see if there's a software update to add the feature for you. If you have a very early build, it could be...

my truck was built 02/15. IS there a way to check other than the Dealer. The Dealers always seem to not want to do any work they don't have to do.

I had mine updated a couple of months ago. At the time, it was the latest code, with a build date in December. Odds are, yours has that code. There is a thread on here somewhere that I believe contains info on how to get the build info for your version and compare it to the latest build version.

Here you go: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/171299-has-there-been-any-updates-to-the-intellink/

It's in there somewhere along with the document number if it's necessary to update your truck.

You actually don't have to hold it... You will switch the view with each tap on the round icon at the top for Navigation view.

I must be missing something or my 2015 LT doesn't have it but how do you turn on the navigation? All I can get is the no routes entered and onstar log in

Thanks,

Bob

It sounds like you have "OnStar Nav". You have to subscribe to OnStar for that and I don't think it shows an actual map on your touch screen, just arrows and voice directions.

Anyone know if the 15 All Terrain Sierra with a 6.2 has the power windows option through the fob? I can't seem to locate it. I got power mirrors working through the fob, but not the windows.
