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.

      Joke Thread

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
