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?

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.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
