My 2016 started having the screens randomly start jumping around, or so I thought. But it appears that every time Onstar polls my vehicle for diagnostics.  the system goes bonkers for 24-48 hrs after.

 How do I disconnect Onstar and wifi?

I know this is a dumb question but how do I find the screen inches on my 2015 Sierra. Someone broke mine so I need to replace

Take a picture and post it, that way we can give you a good answer.

 

You can also look in your glove box at the RPO codes, 

  • IO3 Radio – Infotainment System – Base
    IO4 Radio – Infotainment System – Base With Connectivity
    IO5 Radio – Infotainment System – Uplevel With Connectivity
    IO6 Radio – Infotainment System – Uplevel With Connectivity And Embedded Navigation

First two will be the small screen, second two will be the 8 inch screen.

Look into your glove box at the build codes.
If it's an I05 or I06, it's an 8" screen, otherwise, it's something else.
Sorry, this was just a quick pic, edited - only difference between I05 and I06 is factory nav.
@JimCost2014, nice work, you're a lot faster than me! :)

Any lawyers here. My 2015 GMC 3500 Denali started doing this after 70k miles. Why are we all having same problem….Should Chevrolet/GMC do a recall and fix the problem for good…

does anyone know if this proble would affect the safely operation of the vehicle?!!

I am having the same issues. How much for a new shark fin? Do you have a part #?  And I need to update my HMI software also. Thanks

My truck has been doing it for a while now. I  checked the two grounds on top of the dash and they were fine. It did go away for a couple months then came back. It will hang up a phone call or mute it and this is a danger if you were on the phone with 911 with an emergency. Don’t think my next truck will be a GM. To bad. I really like the truck too.

And, you will never know the answer unless you ask the question👍 (see how I spun that around).

ED, im going to give the HMI upgrade and shark fin a try. How much did the shark fin cost???

Bert, I will have to look at my paperwork because my extended warranty covered it all except for my deductible but I do know it was approximately $100 for the HDMI Upgrade and approximately $400 for the Shark Fin replacement.

Update!, THIS IS A VERY CAUTIOUS UPDATE!!!!

My truck has been free of the radio problems for the last 3.5 weeks. All is good. I changed the grounding wire on the battery six weeks or so ago.  Problem didn't go away after changing so thought it had no effect. But as time has gone on, i saw less and less of the self changing channels and screens. Now i haven't had a radio problem in 3.5 weeks. Ive also seen the alternator moving again from 12.5 volts up to 14.5 volts as it suppose to do. Somebody told me the trucks computer had to update the electrical power being used over time to get rid of the charging problem caused by the bad cable.  

Below picture on left is of the new battery ground cable installed that was bought GM original equipment, notice the writing on the shinny cable. Picture on right is old cable very dull and no writing except for CABLENA stamped into the plastic. See if your cables look like either of these.

 

If my radio starts to act up again i will post it.

 

very happy now!!!!

      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?
