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.

Its a 2019 model year vehicle, it must still be under warranty.  Take it back to dealer and let then handle it.  Do that before trying any "fixes" you get from an anonymous internet poster.  Todays electronics are too complex to fiddle with.

My 2020 Denali pulled the same trick while driving down the road, when I stopped the engine and started it again the problem no longer existed.  I had GM run a diagnostic and it came back all ok.    Take your truck to a dealer and have them run a diagnostic of the infotainment center.

Sorry to bother, but the problem persists.

 

I’ve tried removing the card, cleaning its contacts, etc.

 

In the rare instance it works, but only intermittently, as upon a subsequent start up it won’t.

 

Why did an over the air update have to ruin our systems!? What gives!?

 

Anyone able to fix / resolve?

 

Really don’t want to take the truck to the dealer, be without alternate transport, and have the dealer likely either scratch, dent or otherwise damage or steal something out of or off the truck.

 

Such an upsetting failure on GM’s part to push defective software out.

 

Was. Not. A. Problem. Before. The. Update. Really, really, really pissed now.

 

Please advise, and if anyone has any contacts at GM I can discuss this with for proper, prompt resolution.

 

I Imagine they need to push another update out to get it working again.

 

Do they even know this is a problem?

In the rare instance that it works, it only does so intermittently, as it won't upon a subsequent start up.

They probably do know it’s a problem. My case was at a senior adviser for weeks and she wouldn’t call me back. Someone told me to file with BBB and I did it closed the senior advisor case. Then it’s now at the hands of a business legal advisor. I have talked to multiple advisors and supervisors. Chevy is no help spend over an 1 and 10 mins on hold with them one time trying to get a different senior advisor. And now waiting for a field tech to come out. But the business advisor will rarely call me back even after leaving messages. All he will respond is I got your message. Okay you gonna call me.... I spoke to his boss who was even less helpful. It’s Chevy doesn’t care about their customers. They have replaced the SD card, reader and radio and it still occurs. Also traded in the phone cause dealership wanted to blame it on my phone. I got a new phone and it still occurs and my Bluetooth randomly will go out when the SD card goes out. Tomorrow it’s going to another dealer to see if they have any other ideas on what can be done. My advice is everyone call and complain maybe then they will report it to software team I have asked for that to be done also but they won’t listen.

What a let down. :(

 

Needs to get into the proper hands for resolution ASAP.

They replaced the charging cord today and it did it again. Everyone needs to call Chevy and complain.

Corporate had me bring the truck in to a dealer for a software update; Version 807, which they state will be released as an over the air update in January.

 

They stated they were absolutely confident that this would solve the problem, as the software was created to solve this particular problem.

 

Well… guess what… the problem remains!

 

Beyond upsetting that after all this time, and the assurances provided, that there’s no resolution in sight!

 

Anyone else have any news to report?

 

Anyone find resolution? If so, how?

 

What has corporate / your dealers been telling you?

Since my error message two months ago I have not had a reoccurrence of the problem.   Probably not what you want to hear but my system works as intended, in fact yesterday it updated itself with additional information..   Mine is a 2020.

My 2019 Sierra SLT, 5 months old, throws "SD CARD ERROR" on my dash first, it also tells me to "launch Nav on radio for more details"

 

Then my radio screen throws this "Nav SD Cad Message - Once initialized, this Nav SD card can only be used for navigation in this vehicle."

 

Checking a bit further, I find another note on the first of the radio's three home screens that says "SD card is not functioning properly."

 

So this all started happening out of the blue, no service, no software update preceded this error.

 

And to my knowledge, no one removed my SD card and replaced it with a different SD card.

 

First thing I'm going to ask dealer to do is replace the existing SD card with a new one and initialize it for my truck.

 

I too have removed, checked, cleaned, reinserted my SD card with no improvement.

 

Every time I start the truck up I get this set of errors.

 

Today, 1/29/20 I did receive a notice to upgrade my vehicle's software which I did.  Now running v807 software updated from v805.1.  No improvement, SD card error messages persist.

 

Anyone have this problem and had the dealer resolve?  If so what fixed it?

Resolved.  Simply changed the Nav SD card switch from the down toward the contacts position to the up toward the driver position and my errors have not returned.  

 

1. found my Nav SD card

2. removed Nav SD card - found the slide switch on the side of the SD card in the down position

3. put switch in the up position and reinserted

4. all while ignition was off

5. no more of the errors I was showing, see previous post, are reoccuring

6. my issue is resolved!

    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
