Infotainment options missing?

When I remote start my 2020 Silverado 2500, the AC is on full blast. I was told I could modify that in my infotainment system, but that option is not available.  I was looking at the manual and see some options like folding the mirrors when locking doors and mine doesnt have that either.  It seems as if my infotainment system has a minimal amount of options.  I can't add apps either.  

 

Any thoughts or suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that the Custom trim level doesn't get a lot of the amenities that the higher level trims packages will have available within their infotainment systems.

Custom trim has limited personalization settings.  Remote power folding mirror operation is top trims only.

 

As for the HVAC:

#PIT5736A: Manual HVAC Settings During a Remote Start - Diagnostic Tip - (Oct 8, 2020)

Correction/Function: 

Cold ambient temperature - below 50°F (10°C): 

Mode = Defrost

Temperature = Full Hot 

Blower = 8

Recirculation = Fresh Air 

A/C compressor = Only commanded on if conditions allow compressor engagement.

 

Hot ambient temperature - above 59°F (15°C):

Mode = Panel Vents

Temperature = Full Cold

Blower =  8

Recirculation = Recirculate 

A/C compressor = On

 

Mid ambient temperature - anything in between "cold" and "hot" ambient temperature values that are listed above:

Mode = Last known setting

Temperature = Last known setting

Blower =  Last known setting

Recirculation = Last known setting

A/C compressor = Last known setting

 

Note: On transition to ignition on following an RVS event, the HVAC settings will return to last known settings.

The only real extra you get is the option to lower windows with the remote. But it will lower them all the way and you can't make them go back up with the remote. So don't inadvertantly lower them on a rainy when you're trying to start it.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
