I am ready for some up dates already . There are only two decent themes that are usable unless you are a 14 year old Japanese gaming addict. And also anyone know how to remove a song tag without reseting the entire system. Every time a Bon Jovi song comes on (I SWEAR IT WAS AN ACCIDENT) :dunno: I get a prompt to tune or dismiss. it s driving me nuts.

I'm sure it's in the settings. You can change the look of the icons on the screen. Chevy owners have a choice of 4 of them IIRC.

I've recently started using Velocity. Can't remember which one I was on before. As an HMI designer for process control I can say that these touch screens break a couple of my hard and fast rules, however I don not design for night and day viewing. For touch screens some of the "buttons" are way too small ( I cannot while driving or sitting still get the favorites popup screen to move without twenty attempts). The colors draw the eyes attention way too much. There is nothing important enough in these screens to warrant reds and greens. I'm not a grey scale purist however I do try to implement a lot of the grey scale ideas. Grey scale uses muted color, grey, black white for normal operations and activities, the use of color is reserved for abnormal situations where we want the operators eyes to be drawn to an alarm for instance. Themes are something kinda new to our industry. I would venture to say that three or four is probably all we will ever get. Creating a different dynamo set for each theme is quite a bit of work, eats up considerable amounts of memory.

 

I personally wished that the NAV unit would use Google Maps and Google Database. Looking something up in the GM NAV unit is a PIA... Much easier to use the Onstar app to send address to Nav unit.

If they didn't give me any other choices I would have been perfectly happy, but I have to agree with the OP.... what's with the damn SpeedRacer/Anime.

It was probably in anticipated response to folks asking for a SpeedRacer/Anime theme.

Oh and the way you remove a song tag is when you are on the radio, click menu, then go into "manage song tags"

 

I'll try and remember to make a short video on how to do it later today.

I just got my 2014 Silverado on Monday so I am not sick of the themes yet. I traded a 2012 Ford Edge in the sale and one thing that had was the sat radio channel icons populated the screen so it was a very easy visual cue to see what channel you were on. I would like to see that implemented in a software update.

Ugh... you are probably right, had they been a little more proactive and kept up with the mainstream children's television, we would all have a Dora/Diego graphics setting that all of us could enjoy.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
