I picked up my 2015 Silverado this week and have been pleasantly surprised by the XM audio quality, at least in comparison to what I experienced in our 2013 Ford Escape. During the trial, I found it to be nearly unbearable in the Ford, and it was no better in the Fusion my son bought last year. I don't know if credit goes to GM for a better system, or to SiriusXM for improving my particular favorite channels, but it is better. Most of my XM time is on 67 Real Jazz or 70 Bluesville, Perhaps jazzholes have whined more about the quality and SXM has reduced the compression.

I hate the sound quality of the channels I listen to on XM. Not to mention I frequently have reception issues while driving due to mountains etc.

I let my subscription run out, then they send me a $20.00 for 5 month offer to renew, and I do that. Sometimes xm will renew me at that rate if I ask before expiring. If they don't, I let it expire then in a week get the $20.00 offer in the mail. I won't pay more than that.

I have had XM since I had my 02 Avalanche new. I am probably 5 or 6 vehicles since then. Last year I decided not to renew and called to cancel since that is the only way you can cancel. The girl hooked me up with the same deal you mentioned. Except, I have not had to renew since. It has been since about January or February. I really like XM and would love to have it in all my vehicles but it just seems anything you do any more is subscription based and you get nickle and dimed to death. Currently in my 14 Silverado, it's ipod for me since the FM is so bad.

Call the 1-877 number and give them a credit card number. They will restore the screen to normal within minutes. :thumbs::crackup:

I never said to give them your credit card number... :D

Call them up while "driving down the road. Give them a 15 digit number about 10 different times. Change a digit along the way, and complain about the time it is taking while you are in traffic. After a while they will either turn it on in a trial mode, or tell you how to make it go away.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Actual Full Screen CarPlay on Refreshed Silverado/Sierras.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
