The good news, you can change wallpapers and there is a true black option!  I know a lot of people thought the Silverado screen was washed out when using CarPlay. 
 

Bad news and I experienced this with iOS13 too. When listening to music via my iPhone and CarPlay randomly the whole cars audio stops working. Nothing from Sirius or FM either. I have to actually turn the radio off then back on to get audio back. It’s annoying.  Anyone else?

How do you change the wallpapers?

Go into settings in CarPlay (on the car radio). It’s right in there.

Downloaded the update and went and checked it out. I choose the true black option but when in music mode it’s still the washed out grey. Tried choosing solid color and I it’s exactly the same. Disappointing. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult. The biggest thing to me is that the CarPlay screen does not dim at night without dimming everything.

It’s a washed out grey in music on every screen I’ve seen. The main screen was my main gripe being so washed out. 
 

the screen isn’t too bright for me so that’s not an issue here.

Anyone use Amazon Music through carplay?  iOS 14 seems to have nuked it.  Songs will not show.  I've re-paired, deleted and reinstalled Amazon music, and messed with some iPhone settings that I read as things to try.  Nothing.  A few other music apps too (iheart radio).  Stuff just doesn't load.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
