I've had the recent update and I still get distortion. More so on certain stations. Stations are fine on my other vehicles so idk what the distinction is about the hd radio. Dash speakers sound too high pitched with feedback, static. Even with treble low.

I need your advise. I own a 2014 SLE Truck. I too have been disappointed by the HD Radio. I have been told by Autonatjon of GMC in Memphis that the radio will lose the signal due to the lack of repeaters in the area. Now another issue has surfaced. I own over 3000 cd tittles. They are all store bought. However the cd player plays the music but does not display the title or track information. Could Gm not have designed a better radio player? I almost ready to purchase another radio.

The radio is not the only thing that determines if the track info from the CD shows, the CD has to be encoded with the track info as well.

TJay In an earlier post you wrote the next update may address the HVAC issues on remote start. Does this mean they are looking to make the seats actually heat on high under remote start? My truck goes in for the radio update 2/25 . Thank you for helping with all the issues.

I doubt it, the HVAC issues are separate completely. I only mentioned that I said something to the engineer about the HVAC operation on this truck compared to prev GM vehicles.

I had new radio installed in mine and the other service bulletins done, radio is OK I am not a big listerner to anything but talk radio etc. Every once in a while I have radio fade on AM and FM on music channels or talk radio and I hit menu and the radio has gone back into HD mode, I turn it off radio is OK for days sometimes weeks then out of know where it will activate the HD again and things drift till I turn it off???

I have a 2014 that can't hold a station either. A note to those who think theirs is working.. it seems as though static is not bad.. just HD keeps dropping out.. Very annoying once you key into it..

I posted this in a separate thread but I will post here as well..
I recently picked up a 2015 Silverado LT, and I am having issues with my Pandora now. I got my truck and phone paired up without any issues. However when I go to play anything on Pandora it works fine, then all of a sudden will start skipping.

To me, it seems like it is buffering and the music just pauses, then starts up again. It really is annoying to say the least. So I tried using my USB cable to see if that stopped the problem. Nope. still does it. Then I had another friend refer me to the music app spotify. So I downloaded that and tried using that, and I am getting the same issue.

I have a good friend who works at Chevrolet and he told me there is no new updates for the silverados, and they have not heard of the same issue going on. Am I the only one, or is there other individuals experiencing the same issue?

I've had this issue with Pandora lately too. I'm not aware of any changes to the iPhone and I haven't had my truck in for any kind of service yet.

 

...as for the FM reception - I'm surprised so many people are having problems. I live in Texas and pickup FM stations from both LA and NYC. <confused>

I have a work truck model with the base radio and I have the exact same issue. The 2013 I traded in for this new body style had no issues what so ever with tuning in my favorite FM stations. Since buying this truck I constantly loose stations or I get static on a regular basis. I took it to the dealer and they claimed there was nothing wrong with it. LOL

 

If anyone has a solution let me know.

Today now I have had many issues at all with my Pandora or Spotify. I haven't changed anything on my phone, or the car. I was actually going to take the truck into the dealership to get looked at, but since it was working, I decided to leave it be, until I have issues again.

I've had the same issues with my fm and hd reception. The dealer hooked it to the computer and now it's actually worse. I will be going back in for an oil change soon and see what they do with it then.

I have a 2014 HC with 20k miles on it. Took mine in for radio issues and was told GM is aware with no fix. Well for $53k I can get a loaded Ford FX4 with a working radio. I'm about to make the switch if GM doesn't get off their ASS and fix this. Add to my list the vibration at 70 mph as well.....geez....Ford's warranty isn't better but who cares when my Chevy is in the shop every other month with no fix...

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
