Just an FYI, the newest infotainment update is becoming available. I assume it’s a staggered rollout like in previous versions, but you can check to see if it’s available for your truck as follows.

 

From the home page...Settings- System- Updates. You need either the GM LTE service or have your truck connected to WiFi.

 

This promises to bring bug fixes with HUD, climate off message and some other crap that’s been annoying! I am installing now so we will see.D0B0C70B-8342-4027-9B2E-B27D67CC1A91.thumb.jpeg.c4667ea766a0086ca5cb65613c279a49.jpeg

I honestly cannot believe how bad that system is. Its WELL over the 100th release for software (internal and external) and its still buggy as all get out and people want to put them into the old trucks?

I think I'm either on 509 or 507 as well. Very annoying. 12/2018 build date

Dealer can do the update if the OTA doesnt push (as its about 50/50 on that it seems).

I never received the 803.1 update.  Still stuck on v.509.  Ugh!!!

803 got recalled I believe. I was on it and it sucked. It brought more bugs than it fixed. 

 

So far 805 has at least fixed 803’s problem of not highlighting the preset that you are currently tuned to, or disappearing and coming back.

I've read here that the 2020's will have an updated Infotainment display with album artwork, etc? I would imagine that's purely software and not hardware. 

 

So I wonder when that will roll out to the 2019 models?

Mine had a build fate of March 29, 2019

Wander what version mine came with?

I'll check for the update. Thanx

Scheduled for the Nav upgrade tomorrow which also upgrades IOS to IOT capability and I should get the posted speed limit sign which I miss from the Traverse. Just checked with the service people and it will also install the latest upgrade.....maybe even fix the "Climate Off" bug.

 

I had enrolled in the GM rewards program and never received points for the Silverado purchase....called and they boosted 25000 points so redeemed for $100 off the Nav upgrade.

Here is the bulletin from it:

 

Some customers may comment on software issues. A continuous improvement software update is being released with updates made on the following areas: HVAC, Bluetooth, and general system improvements. Most notable improvements include:

  • False Climate Off Message when HVAC is active.

  • Delay after ignition on for Bluetooth contacts to download.

  • General Bluetooth robustness changes and improvements.

  • Radio display shows partial image, vertical lines, or in rare instances may smell a hot odor or see smoke when entering the vehicle or shifting out of Reverse.

  • Static pop from speaker when door is opened.

  • Preventative robustness enhancement for RVC.

  • Navigation picture display is incomplete on HUD during Active Guidance View.

  • Robustness improvements for software update.

  • Rare loss of chime at ignition on.

  • Australia only – When installing calibration archive to deactivate OnStar, it does not fully remove OnStar features (Australia).

  • Australia only – loss of turn signal indicator click clack (Australia)

The cause of the condition may be software anomalies.

 

Correction

A new radio software update, version V805, is being released for vehicles equipped with Infotainment system RPO IOS, IOT or IOU, in addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements. This update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases.

This update can occur remotely through in-vehicle prompts from the radio display. However, some customers may decline the vehicle update or the update may be unsuccessful. Along with the vehicles mentioned above, vehicles in unconnected markets, and fleet customers will need the dealer to reprogram the radio with the new software package.

    • Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.         
    • I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far. 
    • I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install. 
    • Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain. 
    • when it's greyed out that is it's way of telling you that it's downloading the patch in the background. Eventually it will be fully downloaded and then it will prompt you at ignition shut down to run the update. I highly recommend doing the update once you get home and can run it a few times. I've had several issues with updates not going the first time around and I had to retry the update multiple times in my driveway before it was successful.   Some updates are huge and take awhile to download. You can help it by connecting to your home WiFi and keep the truck on service mode for the ignition and keep it alive for awhile on a battery charger too. There are specs it needs to be in for updating such as a full enough battery charge, no running ignition, etc.
