Having a couple problems with the radio unit. First, a handful of times now when I shift into reverse, the camera activates but it’s like looking out of a bubble. If I put it into park and back to reverse it returns to normal. 

Second, this has only once, but last night I couldn’t get any sound out of the unit. No music, no sound from my phone (music or calls) wired or Bluetooth. I tried cycling the power on the radio, turning the truck off and back on, still no luck. 

 

After an extended period of time being turned off 1-2 hours, everything was back to normal. 

 

Im hoping there is a simple update that can be done. 

I also have been having problems with my radio, this morning, no music. Sometimes I'm driving and the volume spikes. I thought it was effected by the cold, but happens when it is nice also. Dealership said they will replace touch screen. Touch screen is on back order.

I know you guys will think I’m crazy but I fly for the Military in a fully digital cockpit. If we rush certain things on startup or change one step during the display boot sequence it can cause a numb

Getting the cable between the radio and the touchscreen replaced today to see if this resolves my issues with the blank screen/touchscreen not working.

Updated my original post but forgot about this one, short story is, after 24 days (yes 24 days in a row this time) at dealership, GM engineer stopped in, tested and sent results to China, China responded there are a lot of issues with these, they are aware and are working on software release to fix our radio issues, no timeline for it, did not provide me a case number to reference. I'll assume all this replacing parts, make us videos for proof, etc.. is just a time buyer for them. The configuration/combination should be easily identifiable for GM to be proactive and notify us rather than waste our time and their money on swapping out parts knowing it won't work long term or at all.

I have a 2020 GMC Sierra and i am having Radio issues.  At first it would not recognize anyone's fingerprints on the touch screen and the main screen would display "No content available" instead of the radio station or whatnot, It also would randomly switch to my phone or blue tooth or whatever for no reason.  I took to dealer and they reprogrammed it.  drove off and 3 minutes later started doing the same thing so i took it back.  They then replaced the main screen. This has lasted about two weeks and it is starting to act up again by displaying the "no content available" and the touch screen is not responding when trying to switch stations or over to iphone, etc..  Anyone else experience this yet?

I have noticed this too.  Changing stations up and down brings sound back.

 

I'm experiencing the same issue with my 2019: when you start the truck, no sound comes out about 50% of the time. The only thing I found that gets it going again is to change stations. It doesn't seem to matter if I left it in Sirrius or FM.

 

Has anyone gotten the issue resolved either by replacement or software update?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
