I have a 2020 Silverado 1500 LT Z71. I have always thought it was weird that I could not see the climate information unless I changed something and that little pop-up appeared.

Although I noticed on some reviews and models that some have a dedicated climate button in the infotainment.

 

Is this a fault? I'm not sure why having a climate button in the infotainment would be locked to certain packages and can't find any documentation around it.

I just glance at the buttons to see what's set..... there is also climate app or whatever it's called. Just like how the audio and phone thing is on the infotainment. 

Yeah that's the button or "app" that I'm referring to. My truck does not have that in the infotainment.

 

What trim level is your truck? Any packages?

I'm not really sure what you're talking about but mine is the same trim as your's.  LT Z71.  Not certain of the other packages but I have the app and this is a picture I found on the web as I'm not in my truck this week.

 

I don't see why this would be linked to certain vehicle trims.  You can find it by looking for the person in a seat on the infotainment.20190417_173130.thumb.jpg.76beb74578b4fa9ebb9ba1a04a8c85f9.jpg.8903bc0eaad3eb563e0e4da38aaa34d1.jpg

 

Other than that, you can easily look at the climate controls on the dash in between the temp control.  Thats where I always look. I never really use the touch screen for the climate.

That's what I'm talking about. My truck does not have that button in the infotainment. It's just missing.

Is yours 2019 or 2020?

Any packages?

Does you screen have 2 or 3 little dots at the bottom - centre?

If it does, try swiping the screen left/right to show the other page(s).

I believe if you want that feature you need to have the IOS and up Radio to get that feature...If you have Conv package 2 you'll have it I believe..Kind of a useless feature if you ask me...

Per the manual, only dual automatic climate control equipped vehicles have the climate control status display on the infotainment screen. Standard climate control equipped vehicles do not.

Yeah. I do have dual, automatic climate. But no climate control button in the infotainment. That's why it seems weird, because when it's in auto, I have no idea what it's doing. Seems like a weird bug...I guess I'll have to take it to the dealer and figure it out.

My thoughts exactly. You can look at the HVAC controls and see everything that is on that screen.

 

I wish you could rearrange the lower "fixed" icons.

Sorry for taking so long but I looked at the sticker for my 2019 LT Z71.  It has these packages; All Star Edition, Convenience II, Z71 and protection, trailer brake and 5.3 (since that was optioned).

 

As it was mentioned, this feature is kinda pointless when it shows you the exact same thing the HVAC controls show.  It doesn't even have the heated or A/C seats on there.  I've only looked at it and played around with it a couple of times.

 

If you really want it and think you're truck should have it, then take it to the dealer and they should be able to reprogram it for you.  If you're truck is supposed to have it, then they will do it for free.

Do you have HD radio? There's a few trims that don't have that, or the climate control. I'm not sure which level they are, but it sounds like you don't have that level of radio.

If you hold down any icon, a pop up comes on and you can swipe the apps up to delete. I wouldn’t think it would let you delete that icon, but maybe somehow it got deleted. If that’s the case, you could try doing a radio reset in the settings app and see if it comes back

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
