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.

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.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
