Hello! I purchased a new 2021 Silverado 1500 LT and am happy with it so far. One issue that's been driving me nuts is the equalizer. I will set the base, mid, and treble to where I want it, and then it will randomly change the base and mid back to zero, and the treble all the way up. I can't figure out why this would be happening. Anyone else have the same problem and/or find a solution? Other than this, no infotainment issues that I've noticed. Any info is much appreciated!

You might try setting up a "User" account.

 

I had to do this in order to get Shuffle for my music to stay turned on, but ended up removing the account because I had to choose the account every time I started the truck.

 

I know, it makes no sense if you're the only one driving it.

 

I believe it's a bug in the software since every setting you make should stick when the truck is turned off.

I have the same problem. I find it loses the settings after you change the source. Checked to see if there was an update available but nothing yet.

It's always been my opinion that with these computer run vehicles, the computer should always save and remember every setting you change before shutting the engine off.

Good luck, I hope it works for you..

Any luck @Josh42089? My LT doesn't have the user settings as mentioned above so curious if you've came across anything. Still driving me nuts ha.

No. I read on another post that the sound settings on the Home Screen were for quick tuning and there was another spot to change it. I looked on mine and it only has the sound settings on the audio page. Going to mention it to the dealer. Still no software update for it yet. It’s random though. Usually when changing sources. Sometimes after start up it will save other times reset. Definitely annoying lol.

Hey everyone, new to the forum here. I just bought at 2021 last week and I'm having the same issue. I contacted Chevy directly and the advisor told me that they "couldn't find anything in the owner's manual about saving this setting" lol. That's about all the further I could get with the advisor before they told me to work with my local dealership. I'm going to call sometime this week.

I talked to the dealer this week and they said they've been hearing this from multiple people. However, I think I may have figured out a way to get the settings to stick in my truck. I went into settings > apps > audio > and changed the equalizer in there. That made the settings stick for me and haven't cleared over the past 3 days. Hopefully this may work for you as well!

Unit is the IOT  (nav) version.

 

I've been accessing the equalizer screen by pressing the 'sounds' button on from either the (FM) radio screen or the usb player screen. 

 

Anyway, after restarts it always has the EQ settings as they were set just before shutdown..

 

I was wondering if it would keep separate eq settings for each audio source -- but it seems to be 'one setting for all sources'.

 

Doesn't seem to matter if the  <  (back arrow)  or the X is used to back out of the eq screen.

I went and tried this and still seems to make no difference. It’s always random too. Before it seemed when switching sources it would reset but lately I’ve been keeping it on Bluetooth. When shutting down and turning back on same source it resets. Gotta mention it to the dealer. Hopefully an update.

I am having the same issue. Can’t find anything that fixes it. How did something so simple get by GM. Also, I don’t have a way to set up personal setting. Please help!😁

I may have figured it out. I factory reset the infotainment system which cleared all my presets, unpaired phone, etc. and so far I haven’t had the issue again. When I turn on the truck there sometimes is a slight delay in when the sound kicks on but always goes to the screen I last had it on, same equalizer settings etc. I hope this was just a weird random issue and the reset fixed. Time will tell I guess. I’ll keep checking back here to see if anyone else learns more.

I did this, this morning.

I guess time will tell. I am no audiophile but I do like stuff to stay they way I set it.

 

Also, my EPB keeps activating, but that might be because I have a slopped driveway

      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.
