Does the 2017 still have the capability to play videos from the USB? I formatted it to fat32 and the file is MP4 720p but the radio isn't recognizing any video files. Any help please thanks

From my understanding no. I start right where from 2015 or 2016 on they don't do it anymore

I have a 2016 7" (IOB) MyLink and formatting is quite picky on it. I had to reformat the video a few times before it would play my MP4's. Try re converting it to a lower resolution. I doubt either the 7 or 8 inch have 720p resolution.

480 doesn't work either :( any confirmation 2017 8" mylink can or can't play videos?

I mean from the sound of it no. ;)

 

That said I don't have any insight into whether or not this is actually possible. I would try converting to multiple formats and trying that. Assuming it doesn't play then I guess not. Honestly I didn't even know mine played videos until I was waiting for the lady to come out of the mall and stuck a USB stick into the truck to listen to music. Little movies icon caught my eye so I tried it and blam, magpul art of the dynamic carbine. who knew?

so why is there a "videos" button available?

Couldn't tell you but something with the programming in the 2017 mylink will not let video be played. I have tried and have done some research on this topic to no avail. Only think we could hope for is an update. I hope GM spends more time on fixing my 65k denali vibrator instead of video playback.

My '15 plays videos, I'll have to double check the format but they play. And only while in park, which is safest!

 

Edited for correctness.The last thing we need on top of people on cell phones being distracted is some numb nut running around watching videos while driving... That is the way it should be.

I tried this on my 2015 and was having no luck. Ended up getting pissed off and gave up :lol: Not a feature I found a ton of value in anyways, just would have been cool to try out.

Hey guys. I have a 2017 Silverado and I WAS able to play video on the screen the way it was described in the video. Truck had to be in park tho. Once I shifted into drive video went away but audio kept playing. I was a mp4 video that I had downloaded in iTunes.

maybe the parking brake needs to be applied?

 

in my wife's QX56 the front display will play video only if it is in park, and the parking brake is on. the rear displays are on no matter what.

 

just a thought.

Has anyone else figure this out. I have a 2017 GMC Sierra SLT and I cant get any videos to work. I have tried:

Formating the USB drive to NTFS and FAT32 with no luck.

I tried MP4 3Gp MKV on 480 and 720 resolution and still cant get it to read it. 
My cousin's truck is a 2016 GMC Denali and it works on his. 

Is there anyone else with a 2017 GMC truck that is able to read the video files?

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      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”.
