The other day I noticed that after the Chevy mylink image came up on the screen following turning my truck on, the screen went blank. Screen switches to back up camera when truck is placed in reverse. Some text popped up after being on for a while saying "initializing" and then "update failed." Dealership wants to charge $200 just to look at the truck so I am hoping to get my answer here. I have attached photos of what I saw. Thank you for your help!

Same thing happened to my truck. Dealership told me that it can cost up to 5000 dollars (canadian) worst case scenario and there's no guarantees. I ended up buying an aftermarket alpine stereo built for our trucks for 1500 bucks off eBay. ( brand new its 4500) Some people have had luck with unplugging and replugging in the connectors behind there glovebox to their hmi module or pulling the fuse for 20 minutes and plugging back in. Didnt work for me but it's a good place to start.

So I know I'm late to this, but I have the same problem in my 2015 Silverado

 Did you ever find a fix for this?? I took it to the dealer and they were dumbfounded and wanted to charge me $500 to look into it more.

    • New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
    • No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

    • - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.    
    • I may be old school. But I’ll pass. I’ll stick with the old stuff. Thank you.
