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 started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.
    • I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed. 
    • Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day. 
    • Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
    • The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
