Theme not changing in the DIC

lahawthorn · October 3, 2014

Just got my car back from a warranty repair and now the theme isn't changing in the DIC like it does on the MyLink display. Anyone have an idea on how to get it working again?

No,I will call them tomorrow and see if they know what the fix it. They had to replace the shifter column boot & I noticed they fixed some odometer reading recall/service bullentin also so I don't know if that some how froze it up.

Is the theme min DIC supposed to change when the head unit's theme is changed?

lahawthorn - referencing your comment "don't know if the odometer recall/service had something to do with it". There are 2 odometer cluster types, the type you mentioned is the upgraded version. I believe GM offers this in their fullsize SUV line. I have the Tahoe LT with the upgraded cluster in which I started a thread ('15, Tahoe Instrumental Panel Cluster). Take a look and see if you had GM campaign number 14126 serviced on your vehicle. If so, that may not be the cause of your DIC lockup, my DIC didn't lockup after the service.

I have an LT - is there a place to change to Theme? Couldnt find it

lahawthorn · November 20, 2014

magiaone-I can change the theme through the MyLink Display options.

The Zip-I spoke to the dealer and they said they will have to reprogram the radio and hopefully that fixes the issue. I haven't had time to take it in yet to let them do it. Said it'd take an 1.5hr to reprogram it.

I have a 15 loaner Yukon SLT and couldnt find it on that either............what vehicle do you have?

NitroCherokee · December 5, 2014

This option is only on the Chevrolet MyLink, the GMC Intellilink does not have it. When the dealer did the Odometer recall they most likely used a USB to do the update that was already loaded. I would guess they are a GMC dealer or also have GMC and used a stick that has GMC update on it. Take it back in and have them redo the recall using your VIN to load the USB drive and your concern will be corrected.

I have the Tahoe. Didn't know the Yukon didn't have that option. That may be why they looked at me like I was crazy when I mentioned it. Haha

I think it's under setting, but go to youtube and check out some of the many videos under....... 2014 Silverado My Link.

well i emailed the service guy - and sent them the link to this discussion - I know i did not have the Theme there before, and mine is a 2015i so maybe they ended up getting rid of it for the mid year.

I think this is a possibility. I recently had a 2014 Silverado LT as a loaner that had different themes in display settings. A few weeks later, another loaner, same model, but a 2015. The 2015 did not have the option to change themes - I looked through every menu.

I called yesterday to get on the "loaner list" and they'll call me when they have one available. So I guess we'll see what happens in a week or two.

I got my Tahoe in March when they first hit the lot. I can still change the MyLink themes (I think there is 4 available) but it won't change on the DIC anymore.
