I'll be following and working on fixing my 2020 at4 I just bought. I noticed the deficit right away. Is there also a subwoofer under the back seat? If so I cant hear it either.

I have also noticed the rear speakers in my crew cab have very little output. Maybe the truck is designed that way but I would prefer more sound coming from the back seat. The fader seems fairly useless as most of the sound comes from up front no matter how far I adjust the fader to the rear..

 

Granted my butt is normally planted in the drivers seat but I still would like to be able hear the rear speakers.

I was hoping to see what someone has done to resolve this. With the fade all the way to the back and the volume up, the sound is not only substantially lower than the fronts, but also not very full or clear. It is as though the speakers are not full range speakers and the tweeter is missing. Back seat passengers get a poor audio experience and I have to do a fair amount of adjustment to balance it and one would expect better from not only Bose, but a ~$60K pickup. Although not a deal breaker, it is annoying.

@Enough and @MarkX113,

 

Have either of you two heard anything back from @GMCustomerService regarding the low output from the rear speakers?  I am experiencing the same thing with a non-Bose infotainment center in my 2022 Silverado LT Crew Cab.  Also, have you taken your trucks in and has the dealership been responsive with the low audio concern?

 

Thanks In Advance!

If "@GMCustomerService" was really interested they would contact me directly. I've seen them post this response to so many issues and never seen any follow up so it don't thing it's legit.

 

As far as taking it to my dealer, in some far off fantasy land dealers supply loaners when you have to leave your truck in the shop for service. When that fairy tale comes true I'll leave my truck at the dealer. Until then I'll hope someone in this forum comes up with an answer.

I have a 22 Trail Boss (Custom) and the rear speakers are low. I'll have the speaker settings even all the way around and you hardly hear anything from the rear (this is with people in the rear asking for more volume). Meanwhile the front speaker and tweets are blasting. Is this a radio programing issue ?

The answer is a dsp.  I installed the audio control d-6.1200 in my truck, After Summing the rear with the dash and front door,  I now have proper sound coming from my rear speakers, not the muffled garbage from the factory Bose settings.

 

I don't know why you guys think we should have a decent sound system in a truck that costs over $60,000.  🙄

Any updates or links to how u got this ? I recently got an at4 and this stupid Bose issue just happened to me.  Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I just now saw this.  

 

I got the audio control d-6.1200 and used the summing feature.  It will combine the signals from the channels that you choose, which will allow you to send a full signal to the rear speakers and you can adjust the gain on each speaker pair.

 

If I'm not mistaken, the lc-6.1200 also allows you to sum the channels and is significantly cheaper.

There are other amps that you could use to accomplish the same thing, I just went with the d-6.1200

My 2019 Silverado Infotainment IOS 3.0 Non Bose System Rear Speakers sound like crap. Low Volume and distorted. I checked with my neighbor who has 2022 Silverado with Bose System and his sounds like crap also. Local Audio Dealer said he owns a 2018 Silverado and his is the same. He blames the Infotainment System itself. He told me if I changed out the Speakers, I would NOT get much (if any) improvement. I am going to change out the Infotainment System to a AUCAR 15.6" Android soon, hope this helps.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
