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!

That "switch" is the write protect tab. The error message you were getting should never be cryptic for something so basic.  Have you gone through the manual since fixing it to see if they have it there, but written in such a way that you would have needed to know the answer in order for the message to be meaningful. 

 

That's one of my pet peeves.  It's real common for tech support for computer software.  You tell then you are new, you have no idea of how it works, and you ask your question.  The first answer you get reads like it was a multipage answer, and they didn't send the first page.  Or they use non-specific terms for parts names, and the rest of the response is written like you already know the answer.  

 

If this ends up fixing your issue you may want to send off a message to the service manager of the dealership that couldn't fix it so maybe the next person with the issue gets it fixed right away.   Don't know if manufacturers still send out service bulletins or not, but if they do that fix should be documented.  When I was a mechanic at a Chrysler dealership, every mechanic got a package every month with all the new service bulletins.  I still have a big box of them somewhere.

Interesting.

 

My truck has/had the same issue, but my findings were different....exactly the opposite actually.  After reading this thread I went out and popped out the SD card, found the write protect tab already in the position away from the pins.  

 

1. Found write lock tab in position away from pins

2. Slid tab down to be closer to pins, reinserted

3. Powered truck on, got the same message

4. Went to NAV, and hit ok on the warning message about initializing

5. Powered truck off

6. Powered truck back on, warning message did not display

7. Powered truck back off

8. Removed SD card and moved write lock tab to position farther away from pins, reinserted

9. Powered truck on, initially received a message stating that SD card had been removed, went away and GPS worked normally

10. Powered truck off and back on

11. GPS initialized with no error messages whatsoever

 

My goal here was to recreate the issue once I found what resolved it, which I was unable to do.  It is almost as though you have to remove the card, move the write lock tab, and confirm the message on initialization and it doesn't matter which position the write lock tab resides.  An odd one for sure.

After updating to 807 and replacing the SD Card and card receptacle, GM now wants to replace the radio control module, which requires two visits, one where they need to get the number off the current unit and another to replace same.

 

I want them to go to back to 509, the last known working version which had no problem at all.

 

Has anyone been successful in getting a dealer to go back to an earlier software version?

 

Any other updates anyone? Please provide the latest status.

 

Thank you.

I have a 2020 GMC Acadia and with less than 2000 miles and I was experiencing the exact same issue.  The dealer has already replaced the card and ensured led me this was a rare occurrence.  I am at 2952 miles and just got the same exact SD Card Error message.

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....
