2016 Sierra, 13,000 miles. This is the 2nd radio in this truck. Driving along fine but the radio lost power and reset itself....losing the time on the clock.

 

Anybody else having problems with GM radios? This is the basic basic radio in the Sierra....tiny screen...no options.

IO3 option just plain sucks....might be time to upgrade this and be done with it. There has been nothing but issues with the IO3’s ever since they were released.

2015 Silverado,19k miles, I have the 8" Mylink and for the past month the radio resets itself (clears all the presets and tunes to 89.5 station all static, I can't replicate it but it has only started doing this about a month ago, the only common denominator is when I open the door to truck to get in I hear a slight audible pop through the speakers and I know it did it again. it's annoying to have to put all your preset station back even if it only happens once a week

2014 Silverado with 8" MyLink... going down interstate yesterday... screen blacks out (radio still playing) then comes back on after 5 seconds..

 

radio never stopped, all presets stayed... scared me for a second though... definitely weird...

Gonna renew this topic. '16' Sierra. Radio cuts out for about 5 secs, clock resets to 12:00, but I don't lose my presets. This has happened a couple times a year since new. Never seemed a big deal and I hate appointments. But it has occured a couple times the past few weeks. Hoping it doesn't get more frequent. Does anybody know what's going on?

I've had a 2014 GMC since new with the small screen 96,00 mile. This happens often. Sometimes I lose the stations.  Other times the engine fans run wide open or the heater control won't work,  the AC comes on when I start the truck in the winter. These vehicles have the ability to turn things and then selves off/on through their Computer.  Low Batteries, Cold, Heat, Heavy Electrical Loads all effect the Average DC voltage.  The Computer even controls the rate of charge and How bite your head light are. These are random errors generated in possibly your CPU.  

 

( RESET/Reboot) Turn off the Vehicle, let set 10 second, Restart it.  If your condition clears reset the clock, radio stations, or turn off/on the AC. 

 

I hold a General Class FCC license in Electronics.  I Call this normal. It could be as simple as weak battery or lose wire.

 

Load testing the battery might determine its' condition.  Consumer electronics only have to work correctly 85% of time. when it fails comply then you will be able to find it if it serous.

    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on. 
    • The average lifespan of automobiles on the road is increasing - here's why
    • Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
