Funny only the third update for me, new math I guess.

This system has been in Cadillac vehicles since 2017.  You've only seen 3 on your specific truck; the radio family has seen a metric ton and as I said this was both internal and external releases thats kind of how you get to version 805.1 ? No new math I promise!

Yes, the 2020 HDs have the album artwork and SiriusXM channel icons. I'm hoping it's something that us 19 guys can do easily, as it really improves the look of the infotainment screen IMO.

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?

Same, but I was told not to hold my breath as there may be a hardware difference.

 

I kinda thought if it was going to be just a software update thing, this would have been the one. Presumably this is the SW version HDs are shipping with. Maybe an owner of one can chime in.

Yeah, if there are any ‘20 HD owners here, let us know what software version your system is on. ??

It’s software I wonder how many updates Microsoft has done.

Slightly different when you have to design for a billion hardware combinations VS 3 LOL

Well the dealer updated me to 805.1 when I was in there.

Now my backup camera app will only work if the truck is running. Before I could touch on the camera app with the truck in accessory mode and it would show me the back of the truck for 10 seconds. Now it flickers for a second and goes back to the home screen.

Anyone seeing this too?

I'm on 803 right now and it does the same. I don't think this is new for 805.

That is because they get the 360L package capability with the new trucks.  Not sure if that is something we will see on ours but that is why they have it.  I had the Sirius 360L on my 19 RAM. It was the first to have it.  Its pretty cool because it would allow you to stream content.  Worked the same as the app does on the phone essentially.  Also was cool when entering garages the Sirius signal would go away and it would go to internet steaming. 

 

Also those that have not had the update pushed or are on a really old version you can go to the dealer and they will perform the update for you, it just takes a while because stye have to load it onto a USB drive.  I did the last update that way.  There are typically two updates. One for onstar and one for the a11 Radio unit.

Still stuck on 803 no matter what network to which I'm connected - says no updates available.  Figures. ?

I guess I should have kept my old version 206

After upgrading the IOS system to add Navigation now showing a build number not an update number for the software.....it's using version v509 which appears to be the latest version for the Denali's factory IOT with Nav. Instructions and screens in the '19 Infotainment manual match what is in the upgrade.

 

Had to reload from defaults, but everything seems to be running OK right down to hands free operation of apps including the Nav. One of the menus permits ignoring Auto Android when plugged in favor or Bluetooth for the phone and flash drives in the USB for audio. Took apart an inductive charge and glued tro the underside of the console add in tray and plugged into USB port....using inductive charging no need to ever plug in the cell phone again.

 

Different symbol than the OnStar Nav and screens on the 4" display now color coded to the color surrounds of the touch screen icons.

Well had the update done 2 days ago and regretfully have to report that I am now having a lot of problems that I did not have previous to the update.

1) I am having bluetooth connection problems between phone iPhone X MAX, with latest software, to the truck. It keeps connecting and immediately disconnecting. I have deleted the phone from truck and repaired several times and still doing same thing. The phone volume still turns down, just like prior to the update.

2) Truck front and rear PARK ASSIST not working. I go into settings, turn it off and back on, it comes on for a minute and then it turns off.

Hopefully these problems are just consequential, but I am beginning to worry and hoping nothing else shows it's ugly little head.

Will keep advised and I hope anyone else having new problems, please report them here.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.
