Chevy MyLink (Mind of its own)

I have a 2015 Silverado LT. For the passed few months I have been battling the radio, and the cluster screen. It will switch screens on its own, swipe up and down, change the song, go to NAV without me telling it to, etc. I wanted to see if anyone has had the same problem, and what steps it takes to fix it. Please keep in mind that I am not touching any buttons except when I switch the screen back to where it started. These videos have been taking over the course of several weeks, not all in one day. So the problem remains.

I am having a similar issue with my 2016. I have taken it to two different dealerships and they have not resolved the issue. The first one did a software update, didn't fix the problem. The next two visits I was told they couldn't do anything because they couldn't replicate the issue. I hope you have more luck then I did.

Make sure you try and get a video as proof its doing it... Thats the easiest way for them to say that there isnt a problem.

I had issues with mine to. It was picking it's own radio stations and cranking the volume up. When I took into the dealer it was blasting Girls just want to have fun and there wasn't a darn thing I could do about it. Uh Boy! :shakehead: It then got to the point it wasn't working at all as I waited for the parts to come in.

 

Anyway the ended up replacing the entire unit.

Welcome to the site.

 

Sounds like your HMI module might be failing. Only replaceable, not fixable.

I am having the same problem with my 17 Silverado 1500 Radio.  You asked if there was any issues with stabili-trac or steering. When parked and idling for a period of time my stabili-trac and ABS light comes on. They go off within seconds of me driving. From what I’ve gathered, it’s do to a small vacuum leak. GM know about the issue as there was a recall where they reprogrammed the hydraulic system to take over at low parking speeds. I never had a problem with any of it until I took my truck in to have the transmission replaced ( under warranty) and they did the recall and reprogramming. My radio problem started about 6-8 months after I got my truck back. It has been getting worse slowly over time. When it starts I go to settings then return to factory settings and restore the radio. Sometimes I need to do this 2 times but it usually stops it for a day or so. Do you think the stabili-track has anything to do with the radio?

I thought the low speed vacuum reprogram was for the vacuum pump for the brakes. I know that I had the flash done on mine and later the vacuum pump failed. I never had any stabilitrack or ABS issues  only extreme hard brake pedal at slower speeds.

It reprograms the hydronic system to add more pressure and make up the difference at low speeds. Never had an issue with my brakes until they got ahold of it. How long after the flash did your pump go out? Do you think there’s any connection between the 2?

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
