I'm running a 19 Sierra Denali and I'm trying to get Android Auto to synch up with my radio wirelessly. But it's ain't happening. Anyone get their's to synch? If so, how?

Correct, Android Auto is only available through direct USB connection at this time as far as I know.

if your just wanting to stream music from your phone, you can connect through bluetooth and play music wirelessly but it wont use the android auto interface

Our devices will stream it fine but the sounds of it but it is the head unit (the stereo)that cannot receive it. without re programming. If it does come out in the 2021 models they can re program the 19s and 20s too.

I'm hoping a reliable universal adapter comes out at some point. Leave the adapter plugged in, and connect wireless to it when desired.

How good is GM about upgrading older models though? I have a 19, could we expect them to upgrade the headunit with new features 2 years after it came out?

I'd love for this to be true!

I just switched from a Ford. So I don't know. If they don't come out with one publicly. Maybe some tech savvy person can figure out how to be able to do it.  I know that was the case on a few secrets like getting the seat belt alarm off.

Ford did a good job with some of these things. Like the seatbelt reminder in my 07 was a sequence of clicking the belt a certain amount of times and toggling the accessory key in a certain sequence. It was even possible to do it for the drivers seat.

They also allowed users to update their headunit via USB key, AFAIK GM makes us take it to the dealership :(

Here is my experience with android auto. I connect to the stereo with blue tooth first and allow the music to start. then I connect the usb. If I do it any other way I will get 13 sec of music and it quits then I won't have phone control on the dash or on the phone to receive calls. I brought it to the dealer twice and they couldn't figure it out and even wrote the Infotainment people with no response.

Craig - Were you able to figure out how to get the seat belt reminder alarm to turn off?  Was able to on my F250, but can't find a way to do it anywhere on my GMC.  I'm in and out at the ranch a ton and don't need a seat belt most of the time.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.  I'm noticing the same thing too.  I love my new HD, but missing 1) turbo boost gauge, 2) gear indicator (what gear I'm in) and 3) seat belt reminder silencing sequence.  All 3 seem so simple, but not there.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      No one will care for you like you care for you. Do what you can for as long as you can. IMHO of course.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
