Anyone else having their infotainment system rebooting frequently?   I have the 2020 Silverado 2500 HD High Country.   It's fairly random unfortunately.  Some days it will reboot 3 or 4 times, other days not at all.  We just took a 600 mile trip after the dealer installed a small software update and it only rebooted once the entire trip.  We brought it in to the dealer today for the larger software update, and it rebooted on the way home.   Now we have to bring it back in so they can contact Chevrolet and see what they want to do about it.  

 

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue.

You're not alone... If you do a search for infotainment, i'm pretty sure you'll find at least 2 or 3 threads on this. I haven't followed the thread though so I can't tell you if anyone has found a guaranteed fix yet, but i can tell you that its happened twice to me in 3 months. I'm sure if would do it way more if i daily drove the truck.

8,200 miles on mine never had any issues. I did have the camera on the left show a black screen for a bit but fixed itself

They swapped out the radio after four trips to the dealership and a nudge by Chevy.  Hasn't happened since, yet.  It was really sporadic and random so we will see if this actually corrected the issue or it simply hasn't happened again yet.

Anyone have issues with not getting any volume after they start the truck and the radio powers up? Does it probably 95% of time. I have to press the mute button twice to make the volume work.

FYI - happened again yesterday, first time since new radio, I give up!

My 2021 did this a couple times to me. The dealership installed a wiring harness part number 84731643 and so far i havent had the issue happen again.

Taking my 2020 Silverado into the shop for a look at this today. In my case, it seems to be tied to the nav. When the navigation display is up, it will predictably begin rebooting in about 25 minutes. Then it reboots literally every minute. If in the middle of this reboot loop, I switch to the audio display, the reboot cycle stops and everything is fine. As soon as I switch back to the nav screen, it begins the 1-minute reboot cycling again. 

 

Last weekend, I just let it cycle for awhile, and eventually, the entire infotainment system locked up. When I restarted the truck, everything was fine for 25 minutes. 

 

This time I recorded video of the cycling (which also included the odometer reading, as I'm at 33k) and sent it to the dealer. We'll see what happens, but I don't hold out much hope.

I have a 2020 Silverado z71 with the same issue. So far, I have been to the dealers twice, and the first time they installed a software update, and I made it home without issue, but the next morning I had only gone a few hundred feet and the issue was back. Then it became a daily happening. go a few miles, Black screen with a Big yellow X, the instructions want you to trace your fingers on the X 3 times and it will write a log file into a USB drive. But there is no USB drive found. I inserted a USB drive, it claimed to have successfully written the file, but there was no file there. So, this past Friday I was back in the dealership, and the error happened three times on my way there. They couldn't duplicate the issue. I left the dealership, and before I had gone a hundred feet, there it was again. So turned around, and went back to the dealership, and by then it had rebooted, and they couldn't duplicate it. Frustration has begun to set in as my warranty expired shortly after the first visit. only 12,800 miles on this truck.

Is this still okay?  My truck has been doing this since I got it over 2 years ago and all the radio fixes did nothing.  And it does have the plow package like in the GM bulletin that was issued

I have gone this route already, they did updates and they replaced the entire head unit.  Nothing has kept this from happening.  Between this and the brakes squelling at 12k miles not good.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.
