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.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
