I switched to the nee android auto and it definitely needs some tweaking. I had some issues with my playlist through amazon music, hopefully some updates will get it fixed.

Does this update, or prior update, allow user to program HVAC settings when remote start is initiated, i.e. can you tell it what minimum outside temp must be before turning heat on or ac on?

That's not something the user has ever been able to control without a mod, including previous generations.  Updates so far have been bug/problem fixes, mostly or at least that's the main focus.

I've had that too. I tried unplugging the phone and the plugging it in again. That seemed to fix it.

I have noticed that since v805.1 update my rear seat reminder only works about half of the time I shut my truck off. I use it to remind me to close the rear slider, but if you use it to make sure your kids don't die in a hot car, be warned it may not beep at you all the time.

Anybody in here have the 8" IOR model  (at least that is what a vendor told me I have but so much conflicting info out there) and can post a picture of the version information screen?  My build date was August 2018 and the radio has never taken an update, every time I check when hooked up to the internet it just says no update.

They honestly are full of BS. I really do know a lot about this stuff.  I added the nav myself. I did the programming myself.  The hardware is all the same.  The software is all the same. What changes is the calibrations of the other units.  For example we have the capability to add fog lights if we didn't have them. That requires they BCM to have a calibration added to the trucks list showing it now has the fog lights. GM adds the registration number to the nav upgrade kit same as fog light.  The new systems are different than the old units where they had an HMI and radio unit. they are combined. When you add nav it is so complete it also update sinister to allow you to add the connected nav feature to have the traffic info. Its hard to really explain but the units calibration is really just HEX values wither turning things on or off. Thats all.  I have a lot of experience digging DEEP into these systems and deal with them daily.

 


Can you tell me how to modify the calibration to add fog lights and whatever else is possible? I’d like to dig into that stuff.

Anyone else not able to see their phone contacts?  I'm one galaxy S9 but cant share them.  Works when on usb cable and android auto but not via bluetooth.  Tried to repair phone but no help.

You have to catch the "allow" access on your phone for the truck to pick them up. I've a s9 and mines does same

    • Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks
    • My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.
    • I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing. 
    • get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.
    • This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
