Thanks.  Where do you go on the phone to find that?  I have looked all over bluetooth settings but no luck.

Long hold the Bluetooth icon in the quick access tray.   This brings up the list of your Bluetooth devices, to the far right of the name of your trucks Bluetooth you will see a little icon that looks like gears.  Click that and you will see what you gave the truck access to, usually 3 items:  Calls, Audio, Contact Access.

Thanks.  I tried that.  It only gives me the option to connect for calls and music.  The weird thing is, I see that contacts connection option for other cars I have synced to, including my 2014 GMC where it worked fine.  It just wont allow me to do it on this truck.

Very wierd.   Only thing I would try next is to "Forget" the truck in Bluetooth list and re-add it.

Mine is IOR, maybe that is the difference.  My phone is Samsung S10 plus and my wifes is S9 plus.

When I first bought the truck, I had a loaner (minor dent taken care of in my truck).  That truck had IOR, and my phone contacts sync'd fine.

It's amazing that the IOS will not.

I just went and tried to sync my work phone, which is an iphone 8s...and it won't import those contacts either.

Looks like a trip to the dealer.   I tried working it through with customer service on a chat...no solution.

I suspect this is going to lead to a new infotainment system in the long run. 

It's a minor inconvenience...but I do like having it. 

This feature in my 2014 Silverado worked fine.

Damn, I had a loaner with the IOS for 2 days, guess I should have paired with it to see.  My 2017 with Nav worked flawless too as you stated in your 2014.   Seems like they went waaaaay backwards.   I can tell you my IOR in the 2019 is complete garbage, always locking up and rebooting it self which causes all the buttons in the center to stop working, so at least you guys on IOS don't have to worry about that.  Also anyone with the IOR reading this I have had my car at service and there is no firmware update available or bulletins so we are stuck with this piece of crap device/firmware from 2014.   Anyone finds a way to get to IOS from an existing IOR I have my ears wide open ?

It even comes up with a "button" to press to send a signal to the phone to share contacts but it does nothing. kind of annoying.

Hi everyone,

 

Long time; hope all is well.

 

2019 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 here.

 

Truck was calling for a software update, so I updated to V805.1.

 

Unfortunately, I’m now receiving a SD Card Error each time I try to use the navigation system.

 

Pretty frustrating. Can someone please help.

 

Thank you very much.

oh god please dont tell me this is the same problem i have in my 2017 CTS-V if this is the case the problem started with IOS 13.x the nav locks up and the system reboots.

try this, turn off your bluetooth on your i-phone see if it boots up ok. then try turning bluetooth on. take a quick drive. if its the same issue we cadillac owners are having then i highly recommend nobody do this upgrade until i fix is out! the only way i can use my system in the caddy is over the USB connection and carplay. otherwise the systrem reboots and goes bonkers. also my caddy display looks just like that, the temp reading goes to - - and sometimes it reads in C verses F

How do you determine what version of software you have? I looked in system>setting>about, but it don't see anywhere where it says"805.1", "803.2", "206.X" .......

    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer. 
    • My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill
