Well if it is the antennae cable is that too hard to replace for a DIY? Did the company who said it was the antennae cable have a recommendation on what would be a better cable type/connection to use? If so it may be at least a way to remedy the situation if GM does not feel there needs to be a fix.

If the company will send me a cable or tell me were to buy one I will install it myself.

I think it is a little thicker(more shielding) and has connectors with tighter fit to the cable. You can try calling or e mailing the Ibiquity people. It is their tech they should have a recommendation.

I have sent an e-mail to Ibiquity, I will also contact my dealer tomorrow to see if they can get me a better antenna cable. Thanks for the info.

replacing the antenna would be extremely easy

 

replacing the antenna cable is not that hard but will take a long time, and gm radios have always had cheap antenna wires and had great reception.

 

Has anyone done anything that has improved reception with the intelli-stink radio???

I reset my presets after turning off HD, still lost the signal but it wasn't as bad.

If the shielding issue is just at the connections wrapping aluminum foil around the connection will help. It is crude way of fixing an issue but it worth a shot. I will try to find the cable over the weekend.

I agree with 02SierraZ71 about Black03Yukon, the only one that is wasting their time is you.

If the thread doesn’t affect you, then stop commenting.

Thanks klrrdr for your help.

Have talked at length to service manager about this. received an e-mail from Ibiquity saying thanks for your feedback. Does anyone have a contact name and number for Ibiquity technical support. I would like for them to give me the name and part number of an after market antenna cable I could try. I believe that my dealer will even help with installation.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Atlas · Posted

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.

      I would never do anything but lithium.   If the vehicle is stored, just turn the disconnect off. My batteries are completely disconnected form everything in the trailer when my disconnect is off. Trailers don't always come that way as some still keep the CO/LPG monitor on. When mine is off...it is off.   As far as storage temps, LiFePO4 are good down to -20°C. I would store them in a heated place if it goes below that. You can also get heating mats with a thermostat if power is available.   The way the heaters work, if it's below 0°C, if a charge comes in, it is directed entirely to the heater until the battery gets above 0°C and then it allows the charge to go to the battery.   For my Android tablet I use as a display, I can move it inside my house if I was ever in an area that got super cold.
