I just bought my 2021 LT trail boss about a week ago and on day 2 I noticed that after I adjusted the bass, treble and mid fade under “sound” while on the music screen, it would reset to 0 across all three options after I would turn the truck off and get back in the next time. Here and there it keeps my settings but almost every time it resets and I have to go back in and adjust the sound levels... the dealer said they have never heard of this but will check it out. Has this happen to anyone else??? It’s a small problem but it’s getting really annoying. Also I don’t have the Bose sound system, it’s the standard 8” screen infotainment 3 unit with the standard speakers .

Does the radio stay on the same station when you restart the truck? Or just the sound settings revert?

The radio station stays where I left it. But it’s just the sound settings that reset everytime.

I see. I was going to say when I left the dealer my truck radio was still in demo mode and everything I would turn the truck off it would erase any settings and revert back to am radio. Doesn't sound like the issue though. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Good luck!

I had that same issue on my 2019 LTZ. It stopped doing it after a couple weeks. Check to see if there are any updates.

I have the same issue with my new, 2021 LT, also when I start the truck there is no volume, need to turn up the volume every restart. Also, I’m experiencing a reset of the volume for voice command. I was at the dealer yesterday, GM issued a tech bulletin (March 16) on this issue and was advised that GM is working on a fix for this and expect an OTA upgrade.

2021 lt trail boss, almost a month old, and I have the exact same issue.  Won’t keep audio (bass/treble) settings after restart and almost every time the volume is off when I start it up as well.

2021 Trailboss Lt here.  Same issue! Most times when I start it up the tone settings are all reset to 0 (bass, treble, mid).  Volume is also turned all the way down.  All other radio settings are still there.  Very annoying and frustrating to have a $55k truck with a broken radio.  Took it in twice to the dealer,  both times they said its up to date and couldn't find an issue.  What do I do!!!!???

Same here. 2021 Chevy custom. At first I thought it was custom per radio station for audio settings so I left it on the same station for a couple weeks and it keeps resetting sounds setting to 0’s. Super annoying.  My father has a 2014 Silverado and that radio which is completely different has always been junk. Time never stayed and always changes and the radio doesn’t come in worth crap.

I took my 21 trail boos to the dealer this weekend and they couldn’t find the problem. My radio is ressetting almost every time I turn the truck off now and resetting while I’m driving. I want them to replace it at this point now.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
