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.

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.

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.

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.

looks like they pulled it from the 15i. My dealer looked into it and there were no recalls or TSBs for my truck.

Oh I got it back yesterday - after 1 month at the dealer.

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
