SiriusXM Radio Alerts

vancealot29 · September 18, 2019

I am wondering if I am able to set artist/song alerts on SiriusXM like I can do in my wife's Fusion (also her past two Explorers going back to 2012 or so). I liked being able to have the option to change to a preferred artist if they were playing on another station. If that something the Silverado can do, has been able to do, or could do with future software updates?

Thanks in advance,

Previous year Silverado/Sierra's had that feature but that's gone. My '14 Sierra had a hard drive where I could pause and rewind FM or XM and store favorites. That disappeared too..

Nope. GM radios were fare superior in features before Carplay. Seems to have peaked in 2015 when they had time shift and tune select.

My wife's '18 Tahoe LT does this, but my '19 TB LT does not. Like you, I miss that feature!

Does this feature come back if you don’t have the premium SXM package? It looks like it may exist on the “Select” package but the free trial GMC gives you is premium SXM only. Just curious if anyone had a lower subscription of SXM that would roll back to the old Stations menu.

It's a radio feature, not an XM feature. It works on all channels, AM/FM/XM.

My 2013 Camaro has it (using GraceNote I believe ? ).

Really bugs me this feature isn't available. Seems like GM is missing the boat with alot of the creature comforts the other OEM's offer

It's on the 2020's, I had a 20 RST as a loaner and it had album art. They screwed us 19 owners.

I'd like to know where, I'm pretty techy and cannot figure it out. This new SiriusXM 360L is crap if you ask me. Something with Pandora buying XM and changing the interface. I already pay for Amazon music as well and am strongly considering cancelling XM altogether just because of this.

It was on the right side of the infotainment screen.

It's on by default when you use XM. I cancelled their service a few months ago, too many hassles and they're less willing to deal like they were in the past. Not worth it to me, I'll stick with Apple Music and CarPlay which gives me album art in my 19. :rant:

I don’t have it on my 19 High Country, wondering if you have a late build 19?

Sorry for the confusion. That is a picture of a 2020 Silverado from a dealers website. My 19 does NOT have album art with XM, but it does have album art when I use Apple Music through Apple CarPlay. @Dan Forsythe should have the album art with XM since his truck is a 2020 HD.

I'm not looking for album art, that i do have. I wanted the ability to setup notifications for artists and/or songs that are playing on other stations. From what i have gathered here it is simply an option that GM doesnt offer yet literally every other OEM does.

Here it is 2 years later and I picked up a Denali and was just wondering myself where the settings are for that, I guess they javent added it yet cause it's def not on mine.
