Does anyone here have a 2018 or newer with the 8inch display? I want to turn the display off at night. Dimming it sometimes isnt enough. Problem is when i turn it off it doesnt stay off for more than 15 or 20 sec before it turns back on by itself. Just wondering if this is normal or if my display has an issue. 

Press and hold the left (volume) knob and the infotainment will shut off. The screen will go black. Is that what you were asking? Or are you doing that and it comes on by itself?

My 2018 Silverado does this :  As I drive it during daylight hours the display will periodically go dim to the point that I can't read the display very well. Then as I continue to drive along it will brighten up again.  The service person at the local dealership told me that the light sensor is being blocked by my dash cover. So I made the dash cover hole bigger so that there is no way it could block the light sensor. It wasn't blocking it before anyway. This mad no difference and the display still dims on its own.

 

Anyone have  any ideas??

 

Thanks

Mine does the same... very annoying.  Mostly when going through tunnels or shade (which is okay), but it takes for ever (if at all) for them to come back on.  I took it to the dealer for service and added this item... they said "use the dimmer dial to turn it up" .  ?  Not very helpful.

There is a mod that can be done to make it dim even further, still controlled by the dimmer switch.  I had it flagged to "follow," but now it's not in my list.

I would SERIOUSLY like to have this mod!

Daytime: should be full bright.

Nighttime: should dim down, depending on where your dimmer switch is set.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
