Looks like the Nav thinks it went 'home' to the GM tech centre.

 

Top RH corner is showing it's not getting a gps signal. (red line thru 'gps' lettering)

 

 

Maybe disconnect battery or pull fuse to force it to reboot.

I just pulled the fuse twice and it did nothing.....How can they mess up a usb update ??? I'm kind of pissed

I thought my AA was flawless until today. I unplugged my phone, shut off truck and when I returned started driving and then plugged in my phone. I got a message that I had to stop and apply the emergency brake for AA to open, WTF? So I pulled over, appllied the Em. brake and it did come back on. Must have been an attorney involved!

This is the thing I hate about my wife's Lexus RX...it blocks most functions when driving. You can use voice commands but they work so poorly I seldom do.

Talked to the service manager by the dealer by me. After he put me on hold, "yea we don't know anything about that, you can try back next month". Me, "Ok but you should have the bulletin from the start of the month, you are aware any vehicle delivered to customers on March 2 or after should have this update applied if not done so already from dealer stock. There's no communication going out to new owners, GM expects their customer base to get this with their car if they purchase in March or later. How do you guys not have the update?" Manager, "Yea I don't anything about that, sounds like GM's problem and not a dealer problem. You can try back next month."

 

Gotta love it, once they sell you the car they don't give two shits.

GM Customer Care told me yesterday that they will be sending letters that have a coupon for the update starting March 7th for the people that took delivery before March 2nd.

 

I did find a dealer that said they would do the update but that I must have the coupon or I would have to pay $100 for labor.

The coupon is Intended to space out the update so the dealer isn't overwhelmed with requests. I didn't have one and my dealer accommodated me. That said, don't be in a rush because the dealer may need some practice and time is your friend as far as finding bugs...

that is complete BS, Gm has already said any 2016 truck will get this update at no cost.

I just got my truck back from tinting and had requested them to install AA if they had it. Yesterday before picking up the truck I called and they said they were finishing up installing the software! I was stoked! I bought the truck about 2 weeks ago and called them a week ago and they had no clue of the update but and am happy that AA is on installed. I barely used Google Maps but so far I like it. I'll have to look more into the feature, though I really wish Waze would work with AA. It is a Google company now.

 

But kuddos to Ron Tonkin Chevrolet for making it happen. Awesome!

 

Update: They said this is a "recall" service update so it was free.

There is nowhere in any literature that says you have to use the glovebox usb port - there is also nowhere that states the console/armrest usb's have "intermittent success".

 

 

 

I tried mine after having it updated with Android Auto last night, both the glove box (white USB) and the armrest USB works.

The dealer tried to do mine yesterday before I took delivery, they couldn't get it to work via the website and they had not got their CD yet so I have to come back in and have mine done.

Maybe I can help. To program your truck, a USB drive is used. GM does not send the dealer a USB drive. A tech connects an MDI to your truck, start up a computer and connects to your truck. Then via service programming, downloads the software to a USB drive located on the computer from either files located on the computer, from GM's server (internet ,,,,,very slow) or an in house server. The in house server system is just rolling out so not a lot of dealers are set up. Then takes the USB drive to the truck to load the software. If the files come from the computer then they were put there from a DVD sent to the dealer by GM. Its called the Techline cache if it matters. My computers have 11 dvd's worth of techline software. Just got the one with AA yesterday (mar. 8).

Just took delivery of my 2016 and the dealership told me it is not available yet, to check back around summertime I told him the guy going over my delivery that it is already out just download it from the system and he said to give them at least 1 month. Whatever I am not going to push the fact as I had a screaming 2 year old in the back seat. Looks like I have to go back in for it.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.

      Radio Update

      By newdude · Posted

      PCM?  These don't have a "PCM".  Powertrain Control Module.  They have an ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module).   Do you mean update the radio?     You can check what version you have in the settings page.  Should be Y181 but there might be a newer build they can update it to.
