In the 2016 8 inch display with CarPlay, there are 5 favorite buttons along the bottom of the screen. it highlights which station you currently are listening too. When you go to favorites 6 to 10 or 11 to 15 or so on with the steering wheel button, it doesn't scroll the favorites on the bottom of the radio screen, it just stays on favorites 1 to 5 unless you swipe the favorites manually

 

Is there an option to get it to "follow" you and slide the favorites groups to show the group you are listening too? i couldn't find a setting in the menu.

 

Thanks

I think you can change the number of favorites from the settings (gear symbol) on the home page. Here is something from my 2015 owner's manual. I don't know if it works the same way on a 2016.

 

Number of Favorites Shown:

Select Auto and the system will

automatically adjust the number of

favorite pages when favorites are

added and removed, or select a

number from 5–25 to manually

adjust the number of favorites

shown.

I tried the auto setting but it doesn't scroll the presets once you get past the first five. Once sirius Xm runs out I won't have so many presets to worry about

If you swipe up from under the tune button, it will show more favorites on the screen. Just swipe down when done. The only bad thing is it covers up the station/song info.

There is no way for it to auto scroll. It's not meant to show you what preset you are on, it's another form of navigating presents. It just so happens that if your screen is on the page with a station you navigate / change to (via steering wheel preset or just manually tuning) it will highlight said station.

X2......if I have to scroll through more than five stations, I'd sooner go to the 50 albums on the flash drive.

Ok thanks. Our Subaru scrolls through the preset groups when u change channel with steering wheel so figured gm would to. I tried the swipe up to show them all but as mentioned it covers up song info. Oh well. Thanks

You can also swipe left or right on the presets on the bottom of the screen to show the next group of presents. That way you can still see the song info.

When using the steering wheel favorites control mine always displays the correct section of the favorites list on the dic display. (not the radio display)

 

 

I'd also like to see the list on the main display auto scroll as well.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Has anyone run these on their 2500?

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
