So I've been trying too figure out how to mirror my screen in the truck. Can it be done with a bluetooth connection?

My 2018 has an anti-sleep function and built-in seat and steering wheel massage.   To activate the anti-sleep function, just get up to cruising speed on the highway.  The vibrating and deep

I couldn't figure out what what going on when my high beams started turning on by themselves, I later found out that if you double tap the brights it turns the auto high beam feature on/off.

Turning on rear defroster activates heated mirrors if equipped.

No. The only way to mirror your phone to the screen is with Apple CarPlay or android auto. Even with those what gets mirrored is restricted. It does not mirror anything that can take too much attention away from the road. It mirrors texting functions, call functions , navigation functions and music functions. Video functions are not mirrored to the display. It’s a safety and liability thing for GM.

If you press and hold the tow button on your shifter, it shuts down the anti coast feature on the transmission. Not sure if this has been posted yet...

You can't "mirror" the screen on the factory equipment.  

 

You can use any Android Auto App in the newer trucks, but that's about 6 apps in total.  

 

Still a nice feature, but you can't play a video on the screen from your phone.

High Idle (“Fast Idle” per owners manual)

 

I was surprised to see there is an option (for select vehicles) to high idle while parked. To engage:

 

1.) Transmission is in [P] Park or [N] Neutral

2.) Vehicle is not moving

3.) Parking brake is engaged

4.) Brake pedal not pressed

5.) Accelerator pedal not pressed

6.) Press and release cruise control on/off to turn ON the cruise control.

7.) Press and release SET- button for cruise control.

 

To turn off fast idle, do the opposite of anything in the above list (press brake pedal, turn off cruise control, etc...).

 

Doesn’t work on my truck but the owners manual states some vehicles have this feature.

Tried this last night... Didn't work. I suspect this is a diesel-only option. I had the same thing on my motorhome with a Cummins diesel. Activated the same way. I used it when cold, primarily to air up the suspension and brakes faster.

 

Another possibility is that it only works under certain (cold) conditions. If the engine temp is below 65 degrees. In Florida, I'm not gonna see those conditions for at least a couple of months. :D

So in the Nav screen, after you've made some adjustments and the screen is in the "edit" mode (see pic), is there a way to quickly get it back to the normal Nav look, without all the extra crap around it?  It takes too long to reset.  Yes, I"m impatient.  ;)

Got my 2018 silverado about a month ago, I keep it lock in a garage at night, with the keys in the ignition.  Tried to remote start it with the onstar app and kept getting the "your engine did not start" on my phone.  Remembered it won't remote start with the keys in the ignition. BUT it will lock the doors and KEEP them locked, even with the keys in the ignition.  At least the app would still unlock the door.

Not wise to remote start while it's in the garage. :shakehead:

 

I tried to stop mine using the app while sat in it with the engine running. Wanted to see if it were possible if it were stolen but don't have the security feature through OnStar.

 

The app threw an error saying "make sure the keys are not in the vehicle."

When the truck is running and you are adding air to the tires, the truck will beep when the tire gets to the correct pressure.

This is something I have never heard before.

I am anxious to try this on my '14

How would the truck know what pressure the tires should be set at?

Well the truck knows when to warn you they're low so it must be programmed in there somewhere.

New for 2018. I remember it being added. My 2017 does not have it.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
