Disappearing Radio Controls

I don't think I changed any settings but the radio acts like it has a screen saver. If nothing is touched, the controls for radio or media disappear. While on media, if I want to go to the next track, I have to tap the screen to bring the functions back. No matter where I tap on the screen, it brings up another screen. It doesn't simply bring those functions back. Anybody know a fix? Thanks!

Here is what the screen looks like with all the functions visible.

To get to the next track, can't you hit the next button on the panel below (between RADIO and the HOME buttons)?

 

It's probably a timeout setting in your settings, but I don't recall exactly where it would be.

I had this happen to me too. Go back to the navigation screen and fiddle with the bottom row of controls. Then go back to the Audio interface.

 

I didn't have it happen again after that.

I don't know how you figured this out but that worked. Seems like a glitch in GM's system. It is very weird. Thanks for help.

I have the exact same problem with the radio control buttons disappearing.  I tried to do the same fix as described above and it isn't working.  Perhaps I wasn't fiddling with the right buttons or on the right screen?  Any other ideas?  Definitely driving me crazy.

My 2016 Sierra SLT is doing the same thing, I was certain it must have been something I did while cleaning the screen. I will try the navigation trick and report back. Makes me wonder if a OTA update came out and caused some issues.

HI i doubt  this will work but it is easy to try when my presets disappeared on my 18 Silverado 1500 I swiped up on the screen and things went  back to normal.

Maybe one of you can do a write-up (with pictures) about how you did this, for the guys that have tried and were not successful.  Personally, I don't mind the on-screen controls disappearing. 

 

ALSO, if you get the radio/infotainment system re-flashed, or firmware updated, be ready for it to default back to this.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
