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

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
