Is it possible to download the lastest MyLink firmware from my computer and then transfer the update through USB into my 2015 Silverado? I couldn't find any results through Google or the forum.

Thank you for responding, which website do you use to find out the current software number?

 

You don't and can't that I know of. The dealer gets the latest part numbers only via GM SPS.

Do you have any idea how this website is related then? http://oss.bosch-cm.com/gm.html

 

No idea. GM may have technicians verify that with a scan tool or from the radio display only if there is a specific TSB for an issue but those are nothing used by GM as far as servicing, updating, programming, etc. Also note the note at the bottom of that site:

 

*: for the SW version of the HMIM please refer to your local GM dealer

 

That Bosch site may pertain to GM itself for their usage but all GM programming updates for any modules are all registered as an 8 digit GM part number.

I thought I read somewhere that mylink is open source software. so there has to be a way to add/upgrade software right?

If you go in your settings you'll see where it says the software is open source. The link you posted is the sight that contains the open software information. In theory it sounds great, in practice this open source is a bunch of junk.

Hi Wucifer,

 

We recognize you've reached out on the forum to gain insight on how to update to the latest MyLink software/firmware. As 15HDriver mentioned, generally the dealer is in the best position to advise on available updates. If you're experiencing any concerns with your MyLink, please feel free to send us a PM. We'd be happy to review anything further and assist with the dealer on your behalf if interested.

 

Happy Holidays,

 

Eddie A.

Without a doubt this is the worst infotainment solution I ever let be a deciding factor to buy 1 truck over another. I actually HATE my 3mo old Silverado Z71 LTZ because of this alone. Oh there will be apps! Oh the 4G will be EPIC... Yea not so much in sw Iowa. I get the random backup screen that never goes way. I hate this radio with a white hot passion

I am kinda right there with you. It is easy for a company to market its infotainment system with all the future features and apps but apparently extremely hard to follow through with actual apps/features. What a load of crap. On top of that, I can't load my own updates at home? Come on GM, get your act together. I can download sync updates all day long from home and load them with a usb stick......

haha, I didn't get one update in the 5 years I owned my car so I can't even tell you if that feature worked. Ford isn't much better than Chevy in this regard.

I was able to load two updates on my wife's car in the year we owned it, guess I got lucky. I do agree Ford isn't much better but at least the feature to load your own software is there.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
