This almost looks like an old webpage. It was my understanding the only way to update Mylink was at the dealer, but figured maybe something was different on the 17 models

On my 16 I have a setting that says software update. When I push it it tells me before I proceed to backup current software to usb. So I put my usb stick in and it says error ??? You guys try that option?

You may have to format your flash drive using fat32 to do this.

Fat32 works for making a backup but it does not do an update. All it does is say that the backup was successful. By the way I have a 2017 with the nav.

I haven’t. And as far as the update, it would need to be loaded to the drive before it could be performed. As the person above said, you could backup using the drive after the format.

Just to add a last thing to this thread, I have tried to update the Mylink software using a Cd and did not read it, I suppose I need a .exe file in order to read the update software, which I do not know what is it. I  burn a disc with the Bosch OSS software and trie to uploaded to the car, but did not worked. Any new ideas?

Given that these trucks are hooked to the internet, wouldn’t it just update itself on an ongoing basis?  If not, how would you know you needed to update?  I’ve never seen a message to update and I don’t know of any screen that indicates what version I’m running like the OS on my phone does.

My Sierra manual just says got to gmc.com. I do have an "Update Software" option in the setting menu of the infotainment system...I pushed it and it says that I already have the latest version. BTW, going to gmc.com is worthless...

Ill take a look with my VCX Nano programmer, love this tool I can program my factory modules with SPS & use GDS2 or tech 2 for diag... depending on year/make/model, I will report back after I take a look sometimes GM has to do a change on a per VIN basis, like the old GMT900's if you added the additional security sensors and tailgate sensor. 

 

anyone have the GM document of this update, it helps to have the GM software code version ?

 

Updated!!!

Only update for a 2016 is to fix for audio lock-up issues. 

I think you can even update the key in the ignition chime, otherwise I didn't see anything for my vehicle. 

 

I am betting you guys are seeing the Navigation update which is via USB. from https://gmnavdisc.navigation.com/en_US/GMNA/USD

I've performed the mylink updates on my 2017 over the air.. I never used a USB stick.. I then set it to auto update.. Since then the SW has always been up to date.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
