Yeah, definitely no interest in paying for it. Now, if they gave it for free, I would gladly accept. ?   Has anyone figured out a way to record the rear view mirror camera. Seems like such a

Does anyone think GM would/could offer this for the 2019 models? 

Could? I don't know. Would? Absolutely not.  Then you'd have no reason to trade up for the 2020... ?

Can anyone tell me if ACC can be disabled and normal cruise control be utilized?  If the 2020 only has the ACC available and it works as well as the Yukon did I am going to snatch up a 2019 quick. 

 

I am not a fan of GM's adaptive cruise control at all.  Had it in both of my wife's 2015 & 2016 Yukon Denalis and it was horribly inconsistent.  Overall ACC defeats the purpose of setting a speed, if it varies with all the left lane idiots in front you become one of the left lane sheep.  So, I am looking at end of year deals on 2019 Sierra Denalis and know the 2020's have ACC.  Any insight is appreciated.

If it’s like most current products hold the cancel button to disable ACC.

So you have both traditional cruise control and adaptive as an option to use?

It should, I can't seem them going back on that it was a relatively new feature/function.

I have a 2019 Yukon SLT with adaptive cruise control and if I could I would trade the car back in for one without ACC.  The only way to shut ACC off is to not use cruise control.  There is no way to shut off ACC but still have regular cruise.  Whenever I use the ACC on trips at least once or twice per trip the car will incorrectly detect a car in front of me and slam on the brakes.  Here I am on the freeway traveling 75 mph and the next second I'm at 55 mph.  This is extremely dangerous especially if there is traffic behind me.  You have to shut the cruise off or slam on the gas to get it going back up to speed.  The owners manual says ACC may not work properly on hilly or windy roads.  Uh, hello, that's pretty much every road here in Washington State.  ACC is a horrible system that makes me not want to buy a GMC again.

Guess i can stop complaining about the k2xx 2014 - 2018 trucks not having ACC.

I'd be very surprised if the 2020 with ACC didn't have the option to switch over to conventional cruise control.  I have two vehicles with ACC and both allow you to switch over to regular CC.  The owner's manual should have instructions on how to do it.

Below is the reply I got... certainly not going to invest in adaptive cruise :)

 

its doable but its a huge job, different camera, adding a few modules, steering wheel change, cluster programming, bcm programming etc. Doable but pretty expensive :(

Define "pretty expensive"?  I'm sure it's something I don't want to pay that much for, but just curious on what it would cost, since I do about 60 highway miles a day. 

 

Thanks!

I have a 2018 Suburban with ACC. If I had realized it when I bought the truck I would have passed on it, I hate it. I can verify that the hold the Cancel button to revert to standard CC does not work on these vehicles.

Sees the 2020 Sierra Owners Manual says that the ACC can be switched back to regular cruise, if desired.

 

Switching Between ACC and Regular Cruise Control


To switch between ACC and regular cruise control, press and hold *.
A Driver Information Display (DIC) message displays.

See Vehicle Messages pg 156.

 

When ACC is engaged, a green indicator will be lit on the instrument cluster and the following gap will be displayed.

When the regular cruise control is engaged, a (different) green indicator will be lit on the instrument cluster; the following gap will not display.

 

When the vehicle is turned on, the cruise control mode will be set to the last mode used before the vehicle was turned off. 

 

And there's more, of course. 

And of course, this doesn't mean that's how it works in a Yukon.  Some of GM's ACC literature indicates there may be differences in how if functions in different applications (or maybe just different ACC generations)

This. I have never driven any vehicle with ACC till I got my 2020 Sierra on Thursday. I did not even know how to use it really well till this weekend. There are 2 different icons for ACC. One is when the ACC is active the icon looks like a speedometer with a car on the top right. The other when it's not active is just the speedometer. I read the comments above and looked at a video on how the system works. It showed to make the system not active to press and hold the cancel button. I tried this today and it changed the icon from active ACC to non active ACC. I also got a warning on the DIC that following distance and auto braking were not active in that mode. The truck worked just fine like the old cruise in my 16 had.

 

Yes the ACC is not standard. It comes on the Driver Alert Package 2 which is included in the SLT Premium plus package that my truck has.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames?

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
