When I start using my navigation system, this message pops up all the time and I don't know why. It says "Nav SD Card Message.  Once initialized, this Nav card can only be used for navigation in this vehicle."   Then you would press the CONFIRM button and everything starts to work. But why do I see this all the time when using the navigation system?

Had this when I first got my 2021. Tried removing and reinstalling card, did not help, did an online search found that if you remove the card and flip to small switch on the side to unlock reinstalled never saw it again. Also never touched it again!

Can you tell me where the sd card slot is. I can find the slot on mu 2019 z21 3500 duamax.

If you have the center console open the top of it. The S.D. card is in the little slot just behind the latching area of the console top. Owners manual has this information in it.

I just bought a 2021 1500 AT4 3 days ago.  I did the “walk-thru” today and noticed this SD card slot.  Do I have to pay for the SD card, or should it already come with the truck, as there was no card installed?

If it came from the factory with Nav, then you should have an SD card. If you are the 1st owner, look in the glove box for it, the dealer may have forgot to insert it. If it did not come from the factory with Nav then I think you are  SOL. GM used to sell them on the Accessories site, but It appears it is no longer available.

Thanks.  Apparently I have navigation but it is accessed via the “Home” screen at the GMC Maps+ app.  
I thought I needed an SD card to access it.

Apparently no SD card needed.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.

      Software Update

      when it's greyed out that is it's way of telling you that it's downloading the patch in the background. Eventually it will be fully downloaded and then it will prompt you at ignition shut down to run the update. I highly recommend doing the update once you get home and can run it a few times. I've had several issues with updates not going the first time around and I had to retry the update multiple times in my driveway before it was successful.   Some updates are huge and take awhile to download. You can help it by connecting to your home WiFi and keep the truck on service mode for the ignition and keep it alive for awhile on a battery charger too. There are specs it needs to be in for updating such as a full enough battery charge, no running ignition, etc.

      Software Update

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By bwiese · Posted

      My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill
