Just did the Denali instrument upgrade in my 2018 GMC SLT and many thanks to Chris White for offering this service. Just want to know from either Denali owners or those that have done the upgrade is the follow message normal or and error and just need to ignore it. It happens when I turn my key on but not in the run position and when I turn the engine off.

Thanks

Normally you get that message if you are trying to look at the vehicle settings on your radio/MyLink with the engine off.

What screen are you in on the radio when you see this on the dash?

Yep, this is normal (for me anyway). A couple of thoughts (given my experience):

a) I forget the details of what I did, but I didn't like that the USB would remain live/active even after shutting off the truck, removing the key and opening the door. So I fixed that by playing around with "retained accessory power" on the assigned fuse. A simple swap and now the USB shuts off my dashcam (so it doesn't drain my battery). Maybe the same goes for my cell phone.

b) I connect my cell phone to the USB so I can run AA (I have it configured to start/run AA when it's plugged in).

c) I think the same (or similar language) thing happens if I disconnect my cell phone while the truck is running.

d) I don't see this as an error. More like a notification. :0)

Shout out to WAMS! It's because of you, my daily commute is less boring and my confusion/frustration levels have vanished -- I no longer miss AA after driving a rental for the week (on business) and coming home to my truck. It's AA all the way! Yay!
