I was trying to see if I had an update to my infotainment system since some have been reporting downloading one.

 

I was unable to pull in the update but did discover how to enable developer mode on the system.

 

Touch "Settings"->"About"->"Build number"->then tap the white file name several times and it will count down how many taps it takes to enable it.

 

There is stuff way above my head as options in here so I am just passing this info along.

 

******USE WITH CAUTION*******

 

I am sure there are settings that will not have a positive outcome if used.

 

I did see you can change the colors per se, not really changing them rather than remove them, but ultimately just turned it back off as I really don't want to be the first to break the new truck. ?

Android phones work the same way to enable developer settings, I believe the base software in our infotainment systems are a base android operating system.

If so, that would explain all of the bugs and hiccups.

I have way more issues with my new ipad than I ever have with Android phones, but that's just my opinion of course...

If he's pulling a battery, it's tine to update his 2014 phone to something current.  lol


Just did a quick search and there’s quite a few 2020 models that offer a removable battery.

IIRC, the only thing you can enable is ANR (app that isn't responding).  Everything else is locked out

When you say you turned it off, do you mean turned the developer mode off?  If so, is it the same steps to turn it off?

It's currently 2022, The only options I see is System->About then the only option in there is ->Open Source Software which shows all the copyright uses and such. How do I get to the developer mode? No "build number" or any other options are shown.

      Navigating senior years.

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!

      First time it really happened to me was when I was 69 yrs old and I was called "Old Timer" by a complete stranger. Then in rapid succession came the aforementioned "Old Man" and my favorite of all "Pops".

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By newdude · Posted

      Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees after sitting.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.  I've seen it a bit more if you are parked facing the sun too when its really hot out.
