So I just did a 1500 mile roundtrip road trip. Truck was great and even recorded some good mileage scores. However, at 2:44am the whole MyLink radio froze. Screen was not responding, buttons would do

Update: Received update and new gremlins so dealer applied a patch. Now more issues, wish I had left it with occasional blank screen. Now incoming call connects but radio keeps playing, call log on s

I am new to this forum also new to my 2016 gmc sierra. With not even 700 miles on it my lcd my link went out. Nothing works on the screen but I can still hear music and control from my steering wheel controls. Really disappointed about this. Has anyone come across a solution for this really don't want to visit the dealer already. ( way to soon for warranty work ) I did even try to disconnect the battery for about 1 1/2 hours with no results. Pretty tough to swallow with the price tag on this things. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

I have had this issue and the computer was reprogrammed to fix it. The problem has returned. The screen is blank and nothing is working. I restart the truck and it works again. A couple of times have required several restarts before its functional again. Currently at the dealership for oil change tire rotation and to replace the Rad and Therm for leaking Radiator issue. They are going to look at the radio issue again.

I have the smaller non touch screen but had the same issue. I also had the hvac controls stop working, is this related?

I have a 2017 Acadia with 2100 miles on it. Really disgusted since my intelink screen freezes up. I can control the radio from the steering column but nothing else works, no touchscreen at all. Been to the dealer twice now for the problem. They updated it first, second time replaced the whole screen.Now they say it needs some module replaced that nobody has. anyone else having this or similar intellilink trouble.

I have a 2015 Silverado Lt double cab.  About 3 weeks ago, my blinkers weren't working from the inside of the truck.  I took my truck to the dealer and they reprogramed the screen.  This morning when I first started the truck the whole screen froze, nothing worked.  I tried to call OnStar, nothing (what if I had an emergency?).  I tried using the radio, nothing.  I tried using bluetooth with my phone, nothing. My blinkers weren't working.  I went to my next appointment, about 20 minutes and when I started my truck again, everything worked.  

I drove straight to the dealership to make an appointment for tomorrow morning.  The scary thing is I only have 200 miles left on my warranty.  I will fill you in on what happens after my service appointment.

Well I am digging up this topic again. I have a 2014 LT that has this problem. 

I was sitting in the truck one day eating lunch listening to the radio. I got a warning that the battery was getting low, so I started the truck. The mylink screen booted like normal, but then it went blank. That was 6 months ago, and all it does is reboot and fail, reboot and fail. The radio is only operable with the steering wheel buttons, and the backup camera works as long as it isn't in the rebooting process. I tried removing fuses, disconnecting battery, and even took out the HMI and plugged it back in. Nothing has changed. I think I need a new HMI, but I keep seeing people say that theirs came back so I have waited. Six months is enough. I can get the HMI on ebay for around $350 for the non Nav unit. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something before I drop the $$.  I spoke to my dealer, and all he said was bring it in. Should I spend that $150 first or what? Any help appreciated.

I would check with MVI first and ask about one of their custom HMI builds.

My 14 LT is doing the same. Blank screen. Every 8 minutes or so it shows initialising. Then goes to a screen that says please install update media and remove others. System is shutting down and has a 300 second counter. Screen goes blank again't by 283 seconds. Shows 0/100 installed. 

Any idea if an update will fix this?

That is exactly what mine is doing. In addition to that, the radio cuts off every 20-30 minutes and comes right back on. That started later on. I was told it was the HMI module, but wanted to ask here to confirm.

Yep, mine shuts off too. I haven't found anyone else with the exact problemishes til now. So, who's gonna pull the trigger and be the guinea pig? 

One dealer said sounds like I need an update. $164 and if that don't fix it I still have to pay it. One dealer said they think I have a bad screen. Bring it in for a $90 diagnostic. 

Got a trip to the mountains next week, so it will be a while before I take mine in.

Please let me know if you get yours fixed.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
