Don't have my truck yet, but I read this in an online 2015Silverado 1500 OwnersManual.

"On some models, press, release
and then press and hold unlock to open
all of the windows. Pressing the
button again will stop the windows."

I had to go out and try it.

 

The answer is yes it works. (didn't figure out if there is a way to get them to go back up)

 

The is an enable/disable setting for the 'remote window open' feature in the 'personalization menu' that is accesses thru the settings menu on the radio. (I had enabled it, but hadn't yer figured out what it did)

It must just be for the upper trims, my LT doesn't even have that "remote window open" setting. Not a huge deal, but I guess one of those features that would be cool to have but not a must.

My 2014 SLT Z71 doesn't have the option. Would've been nice come summer time.

My 14 SLE doesn't. Wifes 04 Nissan Armada had it. Hold unlock on key fob for like 3 seconds. Also closed all windows if you held the lock button. Kind of a novelty.

I wonder if you can use this with remote start, or if one will lockout the other since I believe your doors have to be locked to remote start?

Once it starts you can do whatever you want. I mean you have to get into the truck don't you. I would remote start it first and then do the window thing.

 

EDIT: Now that I think about it, if you remote start it first I wonder if it would do like you say and not allow you to put the windows down. Could also try the other way and see if one cancels the other out as you say. I can't try since mine doesn't have that feature, I'm thinking it's because it's a '14 since the upper trims in the '14 seems to not have it either.

Verified that when running on remote start, press and release unlock then press and hold unlock will roll down windows.

 

Wonder if that disables the auto ac during hot weather?

I want to assume that it wouldn't disable that, but you never know lol.

Hey guys just wanted to send a pic and instructions for the people that don't know how to access the feature from their mylink system. I have a 2015 Silverado that came with the MyLink 8in display and OnStar at no extra cost. I think the trim below the LT doesn't have the Remote Window Feature(but I'm not positive). So you have to go to settings on the mylink display, scroll down to vehicle and click that, scroll down to Remote Lock, Unlock, and Start. Once in there scroll down to Remote Window Operation and select On. Then you're done, all you have to do is test it out. I like the feature on a hot day, to lower the temp of the cab before I get in. But I also never had remote start until I got this truck, so not having the remote window operation isn't that big of a deal if you have remote start. Well I hope that helps some people out. If your vehicle is New it should have a MyLink manual that tells you the features of the system, there are some pretty cool features. In my opinion Chevy has really stepped their game up with their trucks.

I have confirm this works on the 2015 Sierra Denali. It was turned off by default on my truck.

This will be a very "cool" option in the summer time.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      My office is slowly filling with Blazer parts. Getting ready to do the big bang of repairs. Intake (second time), water pump, radiator, hoses, and I'm going to re-seal the timing cover where someone went hog wild with silicone. Might as well, because I don't think that's done right.   There's a local tow yard that I didn't realize also has quite the inventory of junk vehicles. This is an old school junkyard. No waivers. Cash only, you were never here if anyone asks. Don't piss off the owner, or you'll end up in the back of one of those cars, headed for the shredder. And if you see something, don't snitch. Cars stacked double high, wasps nests, trip hazards and junk everywhere. I found a few little odds/ends for my Blazer. The $20 I spent was worth the experience alone. But I was never there. What yard?   I officially love/hate this truck. It's so out of my wheelhouse, roughest vehicle I've ever owned. Every. single. repair. -is so hard-fought, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Currently in a hate phase, and kind of wish I was closer to sending it down the road with a lucky new owner, to be honest. Preparing for the day when I tear into this thing...lots of pre-funk with Ibuprofen.   Rock Auto sent me a bad reman rear wiper motor. It was a bear to install. The tailgate in these things has about eleventy-billion fastners and pieces and things that need to be uninstalled/moved just to access the shoddy rear wiper motor. The casing on mine was cracked clean through, btw. Nice, GM, nice. SO I got this new motor installed, hit the switch, I see it wig-wag (without the arm installed) and think I'm golden. Reassemble everything. With the wiper arm installed I gave it one final test. Time to clean up and take the other half out to dinner, collect a paycheck, right?   Nope. I hear the plastic worm gear stripping as the arm hung up. Just like my broken motor. Weak/old and shredding itself internally. I can assist the arm and the range of motion is normal, and it parks correctly. It just doesn't have the poop to actually sweep the arm with a blade on it. Oh, hell. Turned the key off and shut the shop door behind me. I get to do that over again, too.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.
