I had a 2019 with BOSE, just got a 2022 Refresh with BOSE.  I noticed the 2022 BOSE didn't sound as good as the old truck. With some tinkering, I found a few things. I listen to music via Pandora, or YouTube music app.  I noticed in the new 2022 if I listen to music via Android Auto (whether it's Pandora, YouTube music, etc)  the sound quality isn't as good vs listening straight from the app built into the truck.  I adjusted the EQ settings on my phone, and also changed the app setting to play music at "High" quality. ...no change. Any suggestions?  I do like the listening to music straight from the YouTube music app built into the truck, but this costs $15 per month for "app access" plan.  I would rather listen to music via android auto, and the YouTube music app on my phone.. or Pandora, etc.  But again, the sound quality is noticeably worse .  Anyone else notice this?

Which sound system do you have? There's 6-Speaker Base system, 7-Speaker Bose Premium in AT4, 12-Speaker Bose Premium in AT4X and Denali.

 

And I think Android Auto still uses Bluetooth for audio. I was under the impression that Connecting with AA would mean using Wifi for Audio which has higher bit-rate and better quality. But if I'm listening to music and I turn off wifi on my phone the music keeps playing in the truck.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
