Same issue here. Had it in my 2014 Sierra and now my 2021 Silverado. How can GM pretend there isn't an issue and then continue to use this equipment in new models without fixing the problem. I have no backup camera, radio or charging ports on a $80000 truck with only 60000 kms. Just Garbage. I will not be buying a GM next time.

14-18 and then 19-22 the radios are NOT the same.  All different hardware and software.

That is true. Same issue though. I buy new vehicles for a reason I am busy and don't  have time to deal with problems. I got rid of my Sierra because of electrical problems. I just figured these issues would be fixed by now.

As of yesterday I have the black screen, no sound, and fisheye camera.  Oddly, also no power to the usb's and my AMP steps don't deploy.  I don't see any solutions other than wait it out.

Sounds to me like your ignition accessory fuse is no good.

all fuses checked good, and long battery disconnect got the steps working.  Display lights up and glitches every 90 secs or so, onstar has a red light, and communicating usb's are off.  It has to be a module.  Any budget code readers that can talk to modules?

I just had this happen to me in my 2024 2500 Silverado. Called the dealer ship they said bring it in next week so they can look at it. I asked have they had this issue before he said no. I asked what could the problem be he said it could be a number of different things. I asked would a scan tool pick up the problem he said no. To me there is no need for me to bring it by there if you can't scan it to find the problem. Long story short I remember I was having a problem with the truck updating, left the driver door opened for a few minutes the computer reset itself. I asked my salesman about it, he told me that's how they do an update without physically doing it with the computer. I left driver door open heard truck rest itself, red triangle with exclamation mark and red line on OnStar button is gone. Radio and OnStar back to normal. If this happens to anyone else on here open drivers door for 10- 15 minutes listen for the sounds I. The truck when it stops making sounds it's done. See if that works on your vehicle as well

I'm having the same problem,  mine went black a few weeks ago and I bought a new digitizer and replaced it but didn't work. It's a 2019 gmc sierra with only 30k mileage... this trucks is a headache.  So defective...radio should be cover by warranty right?

    • First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move. 
    • Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.  
    • Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.
    • The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts. 
    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.
