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.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
