SiriusXM Tune Start

Been lurking for a while.  

 

Have a 2020 AT4.

 

Can't seem to get my SiriusXM Tune Start working.  I found the option in the settings, but regardless of whether it's on or off, Tune Start does not really work.  It does record in cache memory, so if I'm already on a station, I can rewind up until the time I tuned into that station.  But Tune Start is supposed to cache your favorites and start from the beginning of a song (assuming the radio has been powered on for the start of a new song to have happened) for anything marked as a favorite.  So when you're scrolling through your favorites, you always start at the begining of a song (again, assuming it's had enough time to acquire a new song beginning).  This is exactly how it works in my FCA vehicle and my other GM vehicle with aftermarket SXM.  

 

Is anyone else having any luck with Tune Start?

FIXED.

 

After trying many things, I came up with the idea of ONLY having SXM favorites, as opposed to some FM favorites and SXM.  

 

Kind of a kludge solution, but it works.  Luckily, there's only one FM station I listen to, so not really much of a problem.

I also have a 2020 AT4. I was told by GM that my truck needed a subscription for my WiFi hotspot for the tune start to work. Is that true? If so, did you go through onstar or a different company for your WiFi hotspot?

I have not tried this yet.  Will let you know when I do. On a side note have you noticed all the extra channels available on the Sirius XM app on your cell phone? I have tried to access them on my truck app but could not find them . Anyone here have any luck with that?

XM has many channels that are streaming only, and they change frequently - you would have to use your phone's XM App instead of your Radio's built in XM  - I have not tried to download the XM streaming app to my truck since I don't pay for OnStar data, I typically use my truck satellite XM feed, and rarely my phones streaming feed, if there is something I can't get thru the truck XM receiver.

Is there a definitive answer about when Tune Start works and when it does not?  Mine hasn't work since the trial SXM stuff ended.  I took the SXM 6 months for $30 plan and Tune Start does not work.  Do I need to upgrade to the new Platinum plan or does the wifi hotspot need to be active to get Tune Start to work?  Anyone know?

      2021 suburban RST - acting up/lights flickering

      By 520Zilla · Posted

      Hi all,   I just bought a 2021 suburban RST with 88,000 miles on it and everything has been good but I’ve been noticing within the last month or so that there are small electrical things going on and I know what the AGM batteries and all the electric electrical in these big trucks you need to have a constant flow with good voltage   That being said, I bought a new battery thinking that that might have something to do with it but today I went to get in and start it and it said no key found when I had the key right in my pocket   It also proceeded to flash the lights inside and outside for over 30 minutes as I went to disconnect the battery as soon as I touch the negative terminal, I heard the relay reset and everything come back up. I got in the truck and started it no problem.   Anyone else have this happen to them? I’m starting to think it’s the KARR system that the dealer installed short circuit stuff.

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.
