When it finally did the update was the truck connected to wifi at home or was it able to update via cellular on its own? Maybe if I let it run for a period of time it might update. 

It was OTA, i don't have my truck connected to my home wifi, or have any sort of data play with onstar.

I will see what mine is when I have a few mins around lunchtime. I haven’t checked the truck at all this morning so it could be dead out there.  Quick look at the link, states 2020 trucks and other vehicles. Mine is a 2019, wondering if it even applies.

Mine did this 2 days before the first update came out and stopped after the update.

 

This past Thursday I got another update when I shut down the truck in my driveway. I had not been having any issues prior to this latest update.

 

Both updates came unprompted when I shut off the truck took and both took 10-15 minutes.  I have no clue how this all works but glad it does !

I’m hoping mine will sort itself out on its own like yours did. Is yours a 2019 or 2020? I checked mine again and sometimes the Updates button is greyed out. When greyed out it says “Vehicle conditions are not ideal at this time...” and when it’s not greyed out it says “No updates available, last checked 1/31/2021 at 1:21pm”. Pretty misleading as to whether or not my 2019 is getting an update or not.

Had the same issue with what I'm assuming was a bad download, radio stayed on and door locks were acting weird so I did a battery disconnection and the problem went away for a few days and returned ,as quickly as it returned it disappeared and have had no issues since. Have been told by those in the know that gm's issues with the head unit go back to 17 on some models and they have been waiting over 2 years for a resolution to the problems. I'm going to the dealer to get a hard connect update done, I have no confidence in GM's over the air update system.

I think you are right. Best bet is for a hard wired connection update. I’m going to call the dealer tomorrow morning and get it in.

The first update downloaded in the parking lot at work. This latest one downloaded in my driveway.

 

My truck is a 2020 LT made in Mexico.

 

Maybe the updates are in Spanish ?

Thanks everyone for the input so far.

Picked up the truck. It required an update and it wouldn’t install unless hard wired to their computer. Attached a pic of the update info. Hope this might help others having the same issue. Cheers

Mine doesn’t have the new update and when checking it doesn’t show. Not too worried since the radio staying on only happened once and disconnecting the battery seemed to work for now. Here’s a my info

Mine has started doing this as well. I haven't had an update since I bought the truck. Still on 509. The Check for Updates keeps telling me there are none. The dealer keeps telling me there are none for my truck. But it seems odd it just started doing this a few weeks ago.

You have to have chevy update for this issue. Mine was even worse. My truck power would not shut off. And a few times the engine wouldn't shut off. But i hit the engine start button on the remote and the engine would shut off. That happened about 15 times before i took it to chevy. Btw i have had my truck at chevy 7 times because of this issue until it was fixed. This was early last year. Hasn't happened since.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
