When i have my Iphone plugged in and put it on CarPlay, the screen does not adjust after dark. It is so bright i can’t see well, so i have to go back to the stock screen. Not a big deal but if i get a text or a call it goes back to the CarPlay and too bright. I have gotten into the settings and made sure it was on auto and tried adjusting the brightness on my phone to no avail. The interior light dimmer helps a little but i have to turn the instrument panel nearly off to get even a minor adjustment. Any ideas?

P. S. I also hate the word infotainment.

Following.  I have the same problem in my 2016 Silverado.  I haven't been able to adjust either.  I don't think there is a fix.

GM, if you are reading this, FIX IT!  Been an issue for a long time and GM doesn't care. File a complaint with the NHSTA due to it being unsafe while reversing in dark.  Keep hammering GM until they implement a simple software fix.

I have 19 LT Z71 crew cab and have complained to my dealer a couple times. They say no adjustment to the screen. It is horrible when backing up at night. It is too darn bright!  I echo the issue to GM and ask that they do something to help us out.

All of these complex electronics and they can’t put in a brightness adjust for the screen? I’ve tried the Night/Day/Auto adjust and it doesn’t do anything at all.

I agree the screen is way to bright. I used "static cling tent" cut to fit the screen. Works fine & the touch screen still works too.

I have a 19 and if the screen is bright during dark I only have to press the dimmer button once and it cuts out to where it’s supposed to be. If it’s dark during the day I switch the headlight knob from auto to off then back to auto and it corrects it. I have to do this daily but if I drive through a tunnel it switches back n fourth just fine... I’m not sure this helps or just solidifies the fact we all have a problem with the fancy light box aka infotainment...

I wish there was an update to this. I’ve had all types of radio issues. They replaced it, etc and still same issues. I really feel it’s a software issue

My screen dimming seems to work fine at night. However my issue is that when I put the car into reverse, it goes to full brightness and the camera is blinding me to the point where I cannot see outside well. Seems like a safety issue in my opinion as well.

There is an update to fix this issue as I had it done about a month ago, no problems now with the screen brightness now, contact your dealer and they will reflash the camera brightness.

I have the same problem. While using car play for maps the screen is so bright you can’t see anything else. It Dangerous and is a safety issue. I’ve tried everything as well.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
