I have a 2015 Silverado LTZ and when I use the "rewind" feature to listen to a song again, the song just skips the entire time. I have perfect radio reception and it does it most of the time. I brought it to the dealer and they could not replicate the problem. Driving home it did it again so I took a video of it. I previously owned a 2014 (which GM repurchased from me due to numerous other problems) and I did not have this issue. Chevy is quickly loosing my confidence...

I have a 2015 Silverado purchased in December. Playback / Rewind worked fine at first, and now at just 5,000 miles it skips like crazy when the vehicle is moving. Works perfectly fine when vehicle is stopped or not moving. The faster it goes, the worse it gets.

The vehicle is at a GM dealer now. At first the dealer called technical assistance and they were told the radio is working "normal" and "as specified", which is a JOKE. The dealer was flabbergasted at GM's response. I have filed an official complaint with GM. Will update when this disaster is over.

Well, I'm making progress. GM Dealer gave me bulletin PIC6110B: Timeshift Audio Playback Choppy Distorted.

Says "Customers may comment that intermittently Timeshift audio is choppy, distorted, skipping, or garbled.

 

"RECOMMENDATIONS: Please do not replace any parts or make any repairs."

 

"Please communicate to the customer that this condition is a normal operating characteristic of their vehicle."

 

 

 

What a bunch of bunk! GM can't won't fix it!

 

Effects: 2015 Buick Lacross, Regal, 2015 Cadillac ATC, CTS, EL, EScalade models, SRX XTS, 2014 Silverado, 2015 Silverado, Colorado, Corvette, Impala , Suburban, Tahoe, 2014 GMC Sierra 1500, 2015 GMC Sierra, and 2015, GMC Canyon, Yukon Models.

Hi Jerricat,

 

I am sorry to hear that you have some concerns with your timeshift audio in your new Silverado and understand you are frustrated. If you would like additional support by reaching out to your dealer on your behalf, please send me a private message with your VIN, mileage, contact information, and the dealership you are working with.

 

Best,

I am curious, did Chevy/GMC dump time shift in the 2016's?

When I was researching and configuring my order I was very excited when I read about this technology as I was coming from an '07 Avalanche.

From what I can tell I do not have this capability in my LTZ.

I think I heard it's not available on 2016. I am not 100% sure. I never use it on my 2014 but I'll have to give it a try.

Not sure...it was on the 2015 and is a HUGE DOG. Doesn't work for crap. Comes with all the bells and whistles with the Navigation and upgraded screen / stereo.

Here is a great video that shows GM's TimeShift feature....Although they are having major issues with it.

I don't think the 2016's have it. My wife's 2015 Tahoe has it but my 2016 LTZ Silverado does not. I'm coming from a 2012 Dodge Ram and I so miss the radio in that truck. I could rewind, replay with no issues. You can even see what is playing on the other stations and not have to change the station to find out what is on the other stations. I can't believe how crappy this MyLink is. What a joke! Why is this so hard? Dodge has had these features for years!!!!!!!

Time shift works great in my 14. Best thing about it is you can hit "pause", shut the truck off, come back after picking up your favorite cold drink and a beef jerky from the 7/11 and hop back in, start the truck up, hit play and carry on where you left off. Take that Apple car play!

:P

I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ Plus, I payed $70,000 for this and I have already replaced an alternator and Battery at my own expense because i was 2,000 miles over my bumper to bumper warranty. my Play button doesn't even show up, only pause, Rewind and Fast Forward will not work as well. I am getting tired of all the bullshit that this truck has given me. I think all of us CHEVY TRUCK OWNERS with these issues should start a buyback recall. I think we all should file a lemon law action lawsuit against CHEVY. I have been a Chevy truck owner since 1976, and this is not what i expected to deal with when i waited two years to special order my truck in 2013. if anyone knows how to get this repaired please let me know. oh by the way my wife and boys almost died because of the alternator going dead at the speed of 65 mph on the freeway and she had no control of the vehicle because it completely shut down at the speed of 65 mph. luckily she puled over safely with no power and with no accident. but if something serious would of happened believe me i would be owning CHEVY and then i would shut them down.

Love my Truck though until something else goes wrong.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
