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

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
