that above line has me concerned... not sure how a software update fixes an odor or smoke ?

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.

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.

If I had to guess, “Denali” is probably just a nickname for this version of the Telenav software, and not related to the truck. Much like Apple also names their OS releases. Either way nothing there is specific to the Denali infotainment system compared to any of the others.

 

You should still be eligible to be running V805. My IOT is on it. You might try checking for updates every day until it comes through.

Could be with the Nav upgrade for Infotainment 3  the Silv'y can longer run on the v805 software or  because it is a IOS head instead of a native IOT it has to run on v509 of the Denali software which might use less memory. I was there for some of the install, tech registered the chip and VIN number, GM furnished the latest software compatible with the '19 Nav upgrade dedicated for my VIN. Troublesome Climate Off disappeared  and more choice screens/colors added in the DIC, eg. Speed Sign in main cluster Either way, I tried to update after the install it said the v509 was the latest update. I'm going to leave it alone as long as everything is working fine.

I may be crazy but...

When I first got my truck I pretty extensively played with all the settings. Before the update, I had the option of auto-starting my truck with the seat warmers on or the air conditioning on. There was also no option for my key fob to control my windows. Now after this update, I only have the option of turning the heated seats on during auto-start, no cooling option, but with the added option of controlling my windows with my keyfob. When I first looked into it, I read that only trucks with auto folding mirrors had the ability to also control the windows with the fob, which I do not have. Having that ability now is a welcome addition.  

 

Anyone have a similar experience?

.02  "I just do 'em; I can't explain 'em" seems to fit best.

 

Just guessing but could be the latest build number for any particular vehicle is VIN specific for all features in the vehicle plus any added accessories or upgrades performed Could be a dealer forced update to the highest rev instead of contacting GM and verifying/getting the latest rev. for that particular VIN could actually screw up something else.

 

I was there during part of the Nav install for IOS to IOT capability and the tech had to call in with the VIN, the part number and activation code for the SD card containing the maps, and GM provided the specific version of software for the update. Once completed , my former software version went from a v805 to v509. Later, I tried the update procedure and it came back that I had the latest update.

 

Running v509 I have all the screens and choices that I had when v805 and all the hardware including the rear camera in Drive continue to operate as before. In addition now the top bar in the 4" screen turns the color matching the icon surround in the 8" screen. One function missing from the original software which I guessed the the vehicle had from my old Silvy was all windows down on holding unlock....still missing in the new rev and still operational.

 

Every feature and screen in the v805 down to separate front and rear auto defog is present in the V509, only differences being the additional screens for turning on speed limit sign in options and the additional Nav specific screens. Even the "Climate Off" bug has disappeared. Point being v509 must be the latest rev listed in the GM database for my particular vehicle as presently equipped with no further updates available and my former v805 would likely be a downgrade and if dealer tried to manually force an install to the highest generic number rev. to my upgraded OIS it would screw it up and I'd probably lose the Nav screens/capability. Turned off my auto update with no further plans to do so....   everything currently works the way it is supposed to.......firm believer in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Meaning it didn't go away for me

Mine never had it, still doesn't have it, no folding mirrors and all windows down on unlock active as it is on the old '16 that never had it in settings or the Avalanches which never had it in their settings. Only problem before was the Climate Off bug and now that is gone with the Nav upgrade.

 

The only advantage with referenced update is now you can turn the windows down feature off which is what it does normally if you don't keep the unlock button depressed. Now if they come out with an all windows up on holding lock button - that would be an improvement.

I dunno. Nothing has ever changed with those menu options (seats or window controls) on mine since my original version that was like 2-something. I have left the remote window operation off because I don’t want to sit on my remote and accidentally put my windows down in a storm. If it’s that hot out, I’m remote starting anyway.

 

I have not noticed any new bugs yet with 805. I think it’s a keeper. 509 was pretty good too but I jumped on 803 right away and immediately regretted it.

Just switch to CarPlay and be done with it. That’s what I’ve done. 
 

I’m running iOS 13 beta on my iPhone and the updates to CarPlay are immense and fantastic. I had been using BT for the past 5 months, but not any more.

      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

      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.
