You need to enter Developer mode to see the version of software installed. I don't remember how to get to it, it has been discussed in previous threads.

Ah ok so that screen has nothing to do with it?

I think it's "Power", "Menu", and "Home" buttons all at the same time.

Or you could try this:

You need to look at the build version, should be at the bottom of that list. That's what changes

Had the MyLink screen go blank twice in 30 months - both times removing and replacing the RDO fuse cured the problem.

Dealer told me to bring it in to see if there were updates of the software to cure the problem......going by the numbers on the screen alone were not sufficient to determine if it had the latest version, it had to be hooked up to their computer to determine this.

Turned out the HMI module had updates, but in order for it to work properly all the modules in the MyLink needed to be also updated to insure compatibility. Screen numbers were all updated to higher numbers, eg. the Nav's 23xxxx to 84xxxx. All covered under warranty and the later free update to the '18 version of the Nav stopped the problem screen, but also saved me spending $139 - $159 for the newest Nav update to include newer streets.

Do we know what the latest build version is? I wonder if a new 2018 Silverado has any updates?

By may of 2018 for a 2018 model there is probably at least 1 or 2, if not more.

Removing the fuse didn’t cure anything, it just made the symptoms go away until the problem reoccurs.

They have lots of tweak updates. Mine is going in Next Friday to get the radio to stop going back to the home screen randomly.

Yes but decided to live with it until just before the warranty expired....this way I got the newest software available for the truck which included the latest Nav upgrade so saved the cost of an updated map flash drive.
