1) Is the wifi in the truck suppose to connect to my home wifi when I park it in the garage? 

2) If so, will it stay connected indefinitely?

3) If so, how can I tell that it's connected?

 

Thanks!

I didn't pay for the hotspot so i connected mine to my home wifi for software updates. I'm not sure how long it connects each time. You can check by going into the wifi options.

I don’t think it connects automatically. I always manually select my home WiFi. I’m not real patient so it’s possible I haven’t waited long enough for it to connect on its own.

I pull into my parking spot in my driveway and it automatically connects to my WiFi. The other day as soon as I put it in park it said there was an update available so I installed it. I didn't subscribe to the built-in Wi-Fi hot-spot once the free trial expired, if I'm away from home and for some reason I need to have the truck connected to the internet I just use my cell phone as a hot-spot and connect to it.

Go to the settings area and you'll find wifi menus ... it's in there.

 

There is an assumption that you've already setup wifi (as in entered a password for your network).

Yes, I have done this.  Yesterday when I parked in the garage I had to manually choose the house wifi and connected to it that way.  Just wondering if it's supposed to connect automatically.  Under "wifi networks", I have selected "connect to this network first" selected.

It can also store multiple networks. At home ours connects to either the house or our motorhome and at my warehouse, connects to our network there. I have not connected it to the Little Caesar's Arena network that way I don't accidentally download an update and I can't start the truck. ;)

Other than updating the entertainment system, what is the point of this WiFi connection? Does it update the vehicle systems much like a Tesla?

I dont believe so ...  Tesla is so far ahead in this arena.

 

GM has update after update .... spend a day at the dealer. And most dont want to be bothered unless you can specifically identify a problem.  Irritating as hell.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
