I have considered dropping the profiles. My radio takes too long to load. If you do this will the seats still adjust to each key? If my wife drives the truck she is much shorter so having the key settings is nice. But if it solves loading screen issues it may be worth it. 

Memory seats/mirror settings are tied directly to the FOBs.

I have the same issue. Seems very strange that you need to reset every time you start up. I hope there is just a glitch..........

Same here. I have a '21 Canyon. If I turn it off for more than 10-15 minutes, the equalizer resets to all 0's. Had it about a month now, and I'm getting tired of it. Trying to make an appointment with the dealer to see if they can fix it. 

I wish mine reset to zeros, mine sets the mid-range to 5 and the treble to 12 and the audio sounds terrible until I adjust, also the auto volume resets to off every time as well.

I had a couple of days where it retained the EQ settings, then today it lost them again. I started my truck up today, and everything was fine. While driving, I plugged my phone in via a USB cable, activating CarPlay. I made a quick stop where I shut my engine off, but left the phone plugged in. When I started the truck again, the EQ settings were lost, and the volume was at 0. 

 

I now have a theory that the settings are being lost when I plug my iPhone into the USB port BEFORE starting the vehicle. Anyone else think this might be what they're seeing? 

I have a 2021 custom and the equalizer resets randomly with no rhyme or reason. I have my moved my phone to the 12v power source with an adapter and it still resets to factory settings. It is insane and annoying.

I reset the audio and truck settings in the settings menu and haven’t had the issue since...

Did this seem to fix the problem, my new truck does the same thing and it pisses me off

Yes I am having this issue too with a 21 Silverado LT, no profile.  Sometimes it maintains volume and equalizer settings, sometimes it wipes them to zero (equalizer) and a much louder volume (maybe too loud even if I was still a teen....oh so long ago) level.  I haven't figured out why yet but am trying different combinations of leaving radio off/on, leaving phone unplugged (well know it's not this/Android Auto as I haven't plugged in in a few weeks) and Blue Tooth.  I unpaired my phone this morning and will see what happened, though other than "being paired" I haven't been using any sort of BT music/sound in a couple of weeks and don't think I've even gotten a phone call either.  But, seemed like something worth removing from the picture.  Very frustrating though.

I've had a 2021 Silverado Custom for just over a month. This happens almost every time I start the truck. It's very frustrating as I upgraded the factory speakers and it doesn't hold my equalizer settings that makes them sound best. Doesn't appear GM is going to help us on this either 😠

I've had my '21 Silverado 2500 LT for almost 2 months and it's done this from day 1. Volume resets to a "medium" level and my EQ resets to all zeros whenever it decides to. It doesn't matter whether I leave it on FM, XM, Bluetooth, or plug my phone in or not; It has a mind of its own. I haven't tried resetting the radio back to factor yet, so I'll have to give that a shot and see how that goes. Hopefully GM figures something out and pushes an update to fix it, I don't really want to have to take it into the dealership if I don't have to.

Figure I'd at least follow up since resetting my radio back to factory last Friday. The good news is that I haven't had any issues since I performed the reset. So almost a week problem free when it was happening pretty much daily. Reading the posts on this forum I'm starting to think it only effects trucks that do not have the memory function for setting drivers preferences based upon which key you are using. I've noticed it's really only people with lower trim levels that seem to have issues with the volume and EQ resetting. Hopefully this "fix" stays and others hopefully can do the same to resolve their problem.

2021 Elevation - happens often and it is annoying and frankly embarassing.  Hope some of those folks who said they would let us know after dealer visits reply.

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
