I have a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 with 3.0 diesel, Sometimes when I shut the truck off and then get back and start it up,, the radio says the satellite is lost, trying to reconnect, but it won't until I shut the motor off and get out of the truck or at least wait at least 2 minutes or more with the motor and radio off,, then restart and the radio works fine,, this only happens with xm,, fm and am work fine,, I have contacted my dealer and they say it must be xm,,, contacted xm,, they say it must them the radio, It doesn't do this all the time,, just once in a while,,, no matter how long I drive with it saying it is trying to reconnect, it never does,, wondering, Am I the only one having this problem? Not sure who to talk to next,,, any ideas? Thanks

My truck had constant sat radio drop outs... so annoying and the only thing the dealer can do is reset or update the unit. I called Sirius and they did something on their end and now I rarely have the issue where before it was guaranteed to mess up at least once per drive.

Had this exact issue this past weekend. First time. 

2 restarts later it worked fine, and has been fine since. 

 

Mine started when I got gas under a big overhang. 

The first restart was wide open, and the issue continued.

The second restart was a few miles down the road, and it reconnected fine.

I bought my new truck in August and the exact same thing has happened at least 3 times that I remember.

Same issue here, happens way too often with XM.  But I also have the issue where about once a week (and seems to be getting worse, didn't do this at all the first 4-5 months) I have NO SOUND at all, from ANY source (AM/FM/Sirius/USB Pandora, etc)...yesterday, it took 3 restarts until the sound would come back??

If it's doing it with XM only, call Sirius and ask them to reboot the signal to your radio.  Sirius is the only game in town for satellite radio.  Any company that has a monopoly has zero incentive to provide high quality.  I constantly threaten to download 250 songs to a thumb drive and tell Sirius to pound salt.

I'm with you.

Between Pandora, CarPlay, Spotify, etc. I probably won't renew when my sub expires. 

The did offer 3 additional months after my new vehicle 3 month trial for $5.... which I did take.... but doubtful I will renew again.....

I've had my truck 3 months/3,000 miles.  It did it starting day 3 of ownership and has got worse.  It is always during the first start up of the day heading to work, no xm.  Go out for lunch and works fine.  Frustrating.  It might be a gm software issue.

Mine does the same thing.  A couple times I had to send a radio refresh from the XM website when turning the truck off didn't help.  Happens about once a month.

Yesterday mine just took it upon itself to switch from XM to BT and connected to my iPhone.....

Flipped back to XM and it was fine the rest of the day.

I have had the same issue since day 1.   Very sporadic, but at least once a week -  am/fm work, but Sirius/xm says signal lost.   

I'm sure the dealer, and Sirius will both claim that they never heard of this before.   never had any issues with all my previous vehicles (leased)

Mine did this for the first time on Monday. I turned the truck on and off, still no signal. I just got some work done at the dealership so I asked them. They said contact SiriusXM. 
 

I got in my truck and thought, it’s a computer, let’s reset it. I went through the settings until I located the open apps. I forced closed SiriusXM and then opened it back up. It worked perfectly. 
 

it’s definitely a radio software issue. Force close the app and it will immediately work. FYI my 2019 never done this, only my new 2020 Trail Boss has had this issue.

It’s in the radio settings under apps, I think.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
