Hello all...Has anyone been able to get an Ipod classic to work correctly in a 2020 Sierra with the 8" screen? Music plays and I get contexts, but can't browse. There's no browse icon and voice recognition doesn't help. Scrolling thru the cluster menu, the " browse Ipod" is shaded out and I can't select it.

I thought I was the only person still using one! I have an ancient iPod using Bluetooth to connect to the truck. I just keep it charged and working well. I have not tried the cable connection.

Does the classic still receive updates from Apple?

Yes, but didn't seem to help. My buddy tried his ipod touch (6th gen) and it worked flawlessly. So I guess I'm gonna have to suck it up and get 1.

I have a classic. Up until 2017 I’d go through my usb and could use my steering wheel control to make it work. It would show on my screen. Same with my I- phone. Of course the I-phone is blue tooth, my classic isn’t. It’s too old.

I had the same issue. Classic (or original) iPods have a small hard drive while newer models have a solid state drive. Only the solid state drive is readable to for browsing, etc. Both will play, but you have to manually change your selection with a hard drive model.

Hi everyone, Not sure if this has been answered. I am new to this forum and went from a 2019 Chevy Colorado from hell to a 2020 GMC Sierra Denali in March 2020.

 

I had the same issue with my Colorado and it also occurs with my 2020 GMC Sierra.

 

Here is the fix that corrected my issue.

on the Iphone 

1. go to setting

2. click sound and Haptics

3. Make sure the tab "Change with Bottons" is off (not green)

4. Set your ringer volume to the level you would like to hear it at.

5. this disables the side volume buttons but things should work now.

 

Before this I would set my ringer to a mid range level. Once my bluethooth connected I could see the volume drop. When I disconnected from bluetooth is remained silent until I used the side bottoms to increase the volume. Now I have my volume preset and yes the phone volume goes down when connected to bluetooth but raises again when to my set volume level when I disconnect from bluetooth.

 

Hope this helps.

I just bought a 2020 Sierra 2500HD crew cab base model (no electronics on steering wheel).  I have a classic ipod and plug it into the dashboard usb, nothing happens.  I confirmed my ipod is running latest software.  My samsung phone plays fine via bluetooth.  Any ideas with ipod?  Thanks!

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
