I have a new 2021 Silverado 2500HD and the Apple Carplay will not connect wirelessly. I am not that familiar with the system yet but was told by my salesman that it should connect. I have an Iphone 12 so the model phone is compatible. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Don't know if thats a new feature but in older models it had to be connected via a cable to work correctly. My 2016 you have to use a cable but its been 5 years so I would think it can go wireless.

The 2021’s are the first year (I believe) that comes with wireless CarPlay

Do you have Siri turned on.  I know with that off you won’t be able to use CarPlay. Maybe try turning Bluetooth off then back on. Sometimes mine won’t connect. I usually just put the iPhone in airplane mode for about 10 seconds and then turn it off.

This is phone related for sure, search CarPlay in your phone settings and you should be able to get it sorted.

All radios for '21 have wired carplay.

'21 is the first year to have wireless carplay, but it still  depends on which radio/which trim you have.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I've had zero luck getting it to work wireless and at this point I am probably going to just use it wired. I do have the LTZ version. I have no idea why they make it so difficult.

      OIL CONSUMPTION

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off pay close attention to what Newdude pasted as he is a GM tech !.    I have a couple of questions which might cross off some questions others on this forum would be wondering about as well. So when was the engine oil changed prior to this trip, was it almost brand new oil or did it already have a fair bit of use on it before you started the trip.   Did you check the oil level on flat ground and was it at the full mark just before leaving on this trip which I gather from google map is about 700 miles or so. Why I ask and this is not the first time in history that has happened, that either a dealer or some other shop changed the oil on the vehicle and the vehicle left the shop and the owner ( you ) assumed the engine oil was full but in reality the person who changed the oil simply did not put enough oil into the engine .. it happens !. Also that a shop put the wrong viscosity oil in and an engine was not happy with that thinner viscosity and oil got past the rings at a higher rate than the proper viscosity. Not to mention if there was any leaking out of a drain plug or the filter gasket etc.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You could, although in the end it really doesn't make much difference what comes out in exact terms since it comes down to putting enough back in so that there is enough volume so that something flows back out once the trans is up to temp for the check procedure. I presume your putting a pan on that has a drain plug but its probably the same pan mold/size as at least a while back no extra volume pan was made for the gas truck version due to the exhaust cross over pipe issue. All I can say as per volume I put back in and this was based on changing out the filter as some is trapped in it that does not come out until its removed because of the way its made inside and my truck had sat over night with the trans having been hot when shut down and dripping internally before I pulled the pan. I went off of what the trans shop suggested as a minimum volume he found worked which was 9 1/2 quarts and I had enough flow out of the stand pipe that I knew I was right on the money once it slowed to a dribble and never wasted hardly any oil but it would be totally fine to throw in a full 10 quarts too. I guess personally I wouldn't ruin a perfectly good pan by drilling a hole in it, not with the cost of replacement pans up here or the dorman one anyway with the drain was 500.00 when I priced one out a while back, totally stupid.    I might not have said before but this trans oil type really expands with heat and I think its been said on this forum and the trans shop said the same so I wanted to try and hit the lower temp of the range vs at the top or go shooting above it as that would allow more oil to flow out which wouldn't be ideal.

      Since I am going to be replacing the pan, I am just going to drill a hole in the original to drain it so I will be able to catch the fluid easier and measure how much I took out.
