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.

I had a 05 before getting the 19,  so I obviously didn't have the text or any other app.  It took about 3 weeks from when I sent the email,  but I did get it.

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

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 th

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.

I have a 2019 and text messaging works great. It reads them out and I can reply with my voice. But you HAVE TO be plugged in with a USB cable and using Carplay. Does not work over Bluetooth.

Mine is the same. I love it.

I just talk to the radio what I want texted back. 

That goes for facebook messenger too. Which, in the heart of the Blue Ridge, works much better than regular texting.

Really FB messenger as well? How did you set that up? I have not seen that as an option.

There should be no reason we have to plug our phones in to use CarPlay. There should be no reason to use cords in vehicles for anything, period.
Plugging in also completely defeats the purpose of wireless charging.

GM dropped the ball by omitting the text app.

I think plugging in is an apple restriction, not manufacturer.

 

I am incorrect, apple offers it, but only select Audi, BMW & Mini have it.

I wish it was. 
 

Wireless CarPlay is alive and well in most new model BMWs and other manufacturers.

So I sent the email requesting the text app to be added to my 2020 2500HD and received a call back the following day.

Access was denied.

I was told that GM made the decision to no longer support the text app. The rep did say earlier in the year he was allowed to get the app added to those who requested but he said that has since been stopped. He made no mention if that’s across the board or just 2020’s.
He did say he’s got a ton of requests for this. He also said they (GM) periodically evaluates things like this & advised me to check back with him occasionally. I was told the more people that request this, the better the odds that GM will reverse their decision & add the app back. Make sure you express your disappointment as that will supposedly help trigger a re-evaluation.

Just passing on what I was told.

Yes I have to be wired in, no I do not have to be on that screen.

 

No, I can be on any screen and they work. A message pops up on the screen and I can touch it and it will read the message to me and let me reply. If I do that it takes me back automatically to the last screen I was on. I can also choose to ignore it.

CarPlay wouldn’t be bad if you didn’t have to plug in your phone every time.
Would certainly be great to just leave your phone in your pocket & still receive texts.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      Navigating senior years.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
