Haven't noticed. Go drive a ford and you will thank GM for making their chimes WAY less annoying, in volume and tone.

I don't have the UQ3 I have UQA - BOSE AUDIO SYSTEM. I guess nothing else has come up on this. It is very load.

Responded in your other thread. The dealer does it. I don't have the TSB number handy but you need to ask about it. If your truck is out of warranty they will charge you the labor time to do it.

There is a fix (reprogram) for UQ3 equipped trucks only.

I have uqa and I can adjust the volume in my settings

How can I tell if my truck is UQ3 or UQA?

There is a list of codes in your glove box

I had the radio reprogramming done to my 2015 this week. You could hardly notice any difference. Sort of a waste of time. If I would have known the outcome I wouldn't have bothered. Especially since it's an avoidable annoyance in the sense that you don't hear it if you buckle up first.

I have the volume setting also but it does not change it any lower.

I've only had my '15 Silverado a day and that chime already drives me nuts. I haven't turned down the volume yet (learned about that here), but I can say it is WAY louder than the new Fords we have at work. There has to be SOMETHING that can be done. That chime covers more than just the seatbelt

I have this same problem in my 2014 GMC Sierra.

 

I had the dealer take a look at it, after giving them the heads up on the bulletin. They performed the steps that were listed but it did not fix them problem. After looking at it a second day, they came back and said it is the 'amplifier' that is faulty, and it would cost $740 to replace. Since I have 40,000+ miles, it is no longer under warranty.

 

Like others have mentioned, the chime is associated with the seat belts, so buckling up before starting resolves that part of the issue. However, the loud chime also occurs for the proximity sensors. It is also an occasional loudness as well.

 

The problem isn't worth the $740 cost, so I suppose I will just deal with it for now.

I posted this in the other threads about this chime. Just buy one of these:

Get the 3" rigid one in the color to match your interior. They are the only manufacturer that meets all the safety ratings. Leave it plugged in and the chime is gone (well the seatbelt part - it doesn't help with the other times but they don't happen too often).

I would have thought the 15s, 16s, or 17s would have corrected some of these customer reported nuisance items. You have to admit, the damn chime gets your attention and more often than not, gets you to put on the belt. :crackup:

My dealer told me they would do the TSB for free for me since I just bought the truck. Anyone have a link where I can read about the TSB, I'm looking for the TSB number.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
