Our 2016 Suburban did the same thing, froze up while we drove around town. Got out to shop, got back in and it did the same as the screen above about update.  Then started working again.  

 

Now we are just having an issue with Apple Carplay not working like it is supposed to and the radio goes to the home screen every time we get in and start it.

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

Just an update. I tried unhooking the battery again for 15 minutes. I also checked all 3 fuse panels and found none burned. I put everything back together and have the same freaking thing going on. This truck is NOT under warranty so  am hesitant to do anything at a dealer. Will keep you updated.

Anyone have any luck with this issue yet? Some pretty serious medical issues have prevented me from getting mine in to the dealer yet.

I found a new HMI unit on EBAY from someone who apparently does upgrades to Nav. 

It was only $69 and they are programming it as well. I will update once I install it.

SOLVED for CHEAP!!
Got the part today and installed it. Everything works great! It is from a 2015 truck so the graphics are even better than my original 2014 radio.

Go to EBAY and find seller dokus223  

i BOUGHT IT FROM HIM AND HE PROGRAMMED IT FOR MY VIN AND SHIPPED IT for $84 total. Don't know if he has any at the moment, but grab it if he does. He upgrades new trucks from non nav to nav, so I just ordered the non nav. Don't know if he sells the nav version or how much.

Take the four screws out of the lower glove box (two are underneath) and pull it out. HMI plugs are behind there and are facing down. You just press each tab and unplug the wires (they are all color coded) the box slides down and out. reverse for install. 5 minute job. Probably would have the key out with nothing on when you change it out.

I too am having issues with the mylink infotainment system. Mine does the no volume or turn signal noise and no xm stations at all. no indication that xm/sirius was ever in the radio at all. Have had this issue last year 4 times. This issue occurred when temperatures are below 30 degrees. Possible issue is when it gets really cold some resistance in the wires play havoc the the audio system. still having issues with and has happened 4 times in the last 2 days. Twice a day this happens. Great truck for a year but this does not happen during the warm months just the cold months. I do not want to deal with this the next six months in the cold Minnesota winter.   Is there a fix besides pulling the radio fuse? Done that as well and it does fix it but it still happens. Replaced the fuse and it still happens. Now no xm radio just fm and am. Not happy with this. I will have to get out my sirius radio portable and make it work till this gets resolved. Anybody have suggestions besides going to the dealer which i will due to a steering recall.

I had issue twice.   Started at turning on truck.    WOuld not play at all and although I could go through some menus, nothing would play.    The second time, I shut off car and was waiting for daughter and 4 minutes later the radio started, and would not shut off... Weird?   Yes...      Both times got fixed by pulling battery negative terminal for 10 Minutes (less than that did not reset).    Hope this does not keep happening (BTW. 2016 Chevy Silverado at 79,000k)

      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.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
