Couldnt agree more.  I would pay extra for wireless CarPlay.  I bought and tried a $150 adapter called CarLinkIt to get wireless CarPlay to work, but it was a no go.   I hate wires and hate plugging i

For what it’s worth, the thread also says they won’t honor it unless you had the app prior to Feb 2019, however, they gave it to me without hesitation based on my email.

Confirmed.  I asked that very question to the "technology guy" when I bought my '19 expecting it to be the same or better than my wife's '17 Equinox.  He told me that they removed the native text integration and added Android Auto and Apple Carplay instead.  He said that research claimed that everyone plugs in their phone to charge on every trip anyway so they defer to the phone to provide the integration.

There’s a thread somewhere on the forum with instructions on who and what to email to GM to get the text messages app. I was successful and now have it.

You were able to get the text app on a 2019/20?

Me and my wife both had to email GM and get them to ad the app for text, really annoying. [email protected]. Just tell them you want the text app added to your vehicle and gm will call you a few days later.

Here’s the message I sent FYI:  

 

Hello. 
 
I recently purchased a 2019 GMC Sierra SLT Premium Plus and traded in a 2017 Ford F150.
 
I am surprised and disappointed that the one feature of my Ford I used the most, the messaging app, is not included on my new GMC.
I relied heavily on this app as I communicate with my employees and family via text while traveling. Having my incoming texts read aloud and the ability to respond by voice was the one feature I used the most.
 
I'm writing this email to request it be added back to my truck.
 
My VIN is ###
 
I know this can be done as numerous people on gm-trucks.com forum have been discussing how they have successfully had the app added back once requested. I understand I can use a tethered solution, such as CarPlay, however that does not work for me as I’m constantly in and out of my vehicle and can not accommodate the constant tether and untether. 
 
Thanks in advance and I look forward to my request being fulfilled and utilizing this excellent and safe feature. 
 
Much appreciated.

Thanks. I also have an 8/19 build date by mine is a 2020. According to that thread, GM is not honoring the text app for 2020 models.

Yeah, I think I’ll give it a shot & send them an email. Can’t hurt any & at the very least, I can voice my disappointment with their decision.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
