A software update for the Camera and Infotainment system was just released.  Check your Setting, About and you should have Build V509

Do they roll this out slowly?  I just checked for updates and it said No updates Available. V507 is what I have..

Mine just did an update 2 days ago, no idea what it updated as it doesn’t tell you but it sure didn’t update the nav or cam screen clarity.

My camera is very clear during the day, much clearer than my K2 was.  At night, it's a little grainy but not that bad.  I've actually had a friend comment on it saying "damn that's a clear camera".  I do have the IOS rpo code radio which is one of the top versions with HD rear camera.  Do u have the HD camera or the regular one?

What kind of truck is yours and do you have Convenience Package 2? You only get the the HD back up camera with convenience package 2 which comes with the better radio.  An easy way to check if you have convenience package 2 is if you have the power rear sliding window on your rear windshield.  If you do then you have the package, if not then you dont have it.

Then yours should be the HD one.  Not sure why it's not clear.  Maybe you got a defective one or they installed the wrong one?  Only other thing I can think of is that it's a little dirty(like has some dust on it)  and maybe that's affecting the clarity.  Idk to be honest

You can force the update if available.  Go to Settings and scroll down to Updates and then select Check for Updates.  It will tell you if an Update is available and give you the option to download.  Also, make sure you have selected to have Updates automatically downloaded.

Are the updates available even if you don’t subscribe to Onstar and don’t have the WiFi plan?

IDK either, it’s not dirty and when I went back to the dealer they took me out to 2 other trucks and their Back Cams looked the same as mine, we didn’t try the nav because the data cards weren’t installed. I drove a 14 HC Friday and both the nav and back up screens were better than my 19.

I am not sure, but logically, how could you get an update to your Truck without any Data connection.  Did you try setting up a WiFi Hotspot to your Home WiFi network or Phone?

Go into settings and ask it to update.  It will let you know.

 

Onstar is always connected to the truck whether you are subscribed or not..  Maybe it uses the same connection.

I assume they roll it out like the Phone providers. My unit says no update available also. I just force update the unit every day to see if one is available.

I did, I used my phone for a hotspot but from what the screen said is the truck has to be off for it to update and once you turn the truck off the hotspot turns off. Maybe it’s alread downloaded but not installed? Who knows.

Go to Settings, System, About.  It will show the latest update.

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
