I don't remember reading it anywhere, but most already know that the radio has a pause feature, but I found out the other day that if you pause it before turning the truck off, it will save it up to like an hour or so.  This might already be common knowledge.  I use it all the time as I listen to a lot of sports talk radio and I will pause before I have to run into the store quick or drop my daughter off at daycare. Then when I get back in the tuck, I can pick up where I left off and then skip through the commercials for awhile depending on how long it was paused.

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.

I read all 29 pages of this thread...  here's what I would like to know:

Several people in here have mentioned how to turn Grade Assist Braking OFF.  I want to know how to turn it ON in my 2016 Z71

 

I drive in rush hour traffic down a significant hill daily.  I'd love for this feature to be able to be activated the same way I count with the low speed hill climb...   But sadly I don't see a way to do this.  I'd love to be able to be rolling at 20-35 mph down a grade in traffic and set the grade assist to that speed going down the 1.5 mile hill instead if constantly hitting my brakes.  Shifting into manual helps some, but by no means does it do what the grade assist.. but ONLY on hot days (I think brake temp factors into the equation).  I wish someone had a sequence to activate it on my commute daily!

 

Have a good day all.

Stay safe.

Lane change signaling. Tap, three clicks and off. Just found it after five years. LOL

And when you’re in tow/haul it goes 6x then off. [emoji1360]

I'm pretty sure my 2012 Silverado did that, even my 2009 Pontiac G5 might have. In fact I don't think I've had a vehicle newer then the G5 that hasn't done that.

Holy crap!  THANK YOU.  I will try this tomorrow.  This is not in my manual, but I will definitely give it a try!  THIS is what this forum is all about!

I believe this feature was only for 2014-2015. I think when they added Android Auto and HD radio they removed the recording.

I don't know if this has been reported but I just discovered that I when I am listening to a podcast through Bluetooth I can tap the left paddle to skip forward and back without having to tap the screen.

Recently discovered with my Amazon Echo, I can say "Alexa...tell Chevrolet to start my truck"
I, then, get a response asking for my PIN, once I speak to the Echo with my PIN, it responds "Starting your Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab" and, then, the truck starts up.

Also, I can say "Alexa... tell Chevrolet to stop my truck" and get a response "Stopping your Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab." and, it stops.
Kinda cool, I think! :)

Just so everyone knows,  you have to go in and add the Alexa Skill called "MyChevrolet" then you have to launch the skill and link your Mychevrolet account with your alexa account.   Once you do, it gives you the option for what vehicle to work with and that is all there is to it.  Then you can ask Alexa to start your vehicle, etc...

Has anyone figured out a way to keep the front Daytime Running LEDs active while also using the turn signal on 16-18 LTZ? I've had numerous people tell me I have a headlight burnt out because it disables the light when the blinker is active. I just tell them thanks as I don't want to explain what's going on:-)

 

Actually this is a government regulation....all cars that have a combined DRL / turn signal have it shut off.  If there is any lamp within ****** centimeters of the turn signal it has to shut off.  So no, you wouldn't be able to bypass this.

Since you did not say where you live (guessing Canada), it can't been done in the USA because one light can not be brighter than the other while both are functioning (turn signal on). We are easily distracted here.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
