New 23 Silverado for me and trying to understand if this is an issue or a crappy feature.  Infotainment displays I have a text,  however when I press play,  nothing happens. I assume it would play the text over the radio.  If it doesn't,  why even show this message.  Talking to the dealership too,  but looking for additional perspectives.  Thanks.

It's supposed to play the message. 

If you want to respond it asks if you want to.

If you want to start a new message touch the circles under your name and say " text Samantha" and it will voice to text your message.

Thank you,  that is what I assumed.  Is there a button on the steering wheel I need to press for it to play? Or wouldn't pressing play on the screen work as well?

There are two things that might help that I can't figure out. 

 

1. I changed the default assistant to alexa when I set that up. I can hear text messages through android auto so I'm hoping to change the default assistant back to Google. Anyone know how to do that? I can't find the setting. 

 

2. I might have to set up a trusted device.  I have went into the mychevrolet app,  but I can't find anything about trusted device.

@dieselfan1 What truck do you have that it works? 23 ltz high country in your profile? 

 

Also what is your default assistant? I changed mine to alexa and I'm guessing that might be why it isn't working. But I can't figure out how to change it back. 

 

The dealership is telling that it is normal not to play the message. Trying to gather some proof so they will take a look at it. Thanks.

Is it a regular phone text message or one through FB messenger? FB ones may not play.

2023 High Country. I'm not using Alexa.

The dealer don't know much about these trucks and that's a fact.

I don't think Facebook messenger does this, only text messages.

Thanks @dieselfan1.

 

I feel like I'm making progress slowly on this,  but the feature is still not working.  I disabled alexa so Google assistant is now the default.  This caused a notification access screen to show up where I selected Google assistant to be active.  However when looking at the Bluetooth connection,  audio is unselected.  I have tried to select it but it keeps automatically unselecting.  Maybe this is my issue?

Looks like playing text is now working.   I believe that alexa may have been the culprit.  I disabled alexa so Google assistant is now the default.  This caused a notification access screen to show up where I selected Google assistant to be active. After that it seems to be working.  I told the dealership as well and they were glad to hear.

Nothing like telling the dealer how something work on these trucks. 🤨

I've done the same with my dealer.

They really are uneducated.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      Thanks, all. It sounds like keeping the software "as is" is the best course of action.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overengineering   Excerpt from the above link: (BTW the above is a 90 second read)   [Quote]   A story about very precise engineering is given in the 1858 story The Deacon's Masterpiece or, the Wonderful "One-hoss Shay": A Logical Story by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., which tells of a carriage (one-horse shay) Because it had been engineered so that no single piece failed first – no piece was over-engineered relative to the others, and they thus all collapsed at the same time. A similar quote by Ferdinand Porsche claimed "the perfect race car crosses the finish line in first place and immediately falls into pieces."[5]   [End Quote}   By Engineering's  own definition then; the AFM and Torque Converters, 4-5-6 clutch assembly of the 6L80E, and a dozen other common chronic parts and systems failures are "UNDER ENGINEERED". And by their own definition done so with INTENT. Ya can't have it both ways OEM's.

      Broke Down on the Mountain

      By Gangly · Posted

      I was in Utah this week attempting a bow hunt in the Wasatch mountains with friends.  On the evening of the first hunt, making my way across a ridge to a friends camp, the upper control arm on the driver's side separated, the CV axle got trashed, and the wheel was dang near at a 45 degree angle to the ground.  I was able to get it towed off the mountain and into town about 3:00 am, and spent the remainder of the night in an O'Reilly's parking lot.  Luckily, there was a Chevrolet dealership not to far away so I was able to get to the dealership and pick up a new CV and UCA.  It would have been a few days before they could have gotten to the truck and I brought tools with me on hunt since it was a two day drive to get there, so I did the repairs myself in the O'Reilly's parking lot.      What's interesting is that the UCA ball joint didn't break, it just popped out of the bottom of the UCA.  There was VERY LITTLE evidence of grease on the ball joint or in the socket, and you could see where the ball joint had warbled out part of the socket over time.  I guess that's what happens over 186K miles of use :)   Big Kudos to O'Reilly's for letting me work on the truck in their parking lot.  However, they made a $150+ off of me from the purchase of various tools, so I guess it was in their best interest anyways :)   Getting towed off the mountain.   UCA Ball Joint Socket   Trashed CV   Suspension disconnected and UCA and CV Removed   New UCA and CV installed with the suspension buttoned up.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By KARNUT · Posted

      My family still laughs at me when they see me drive up in the minivan. Same with less than a V-8 truck. It helps that I have choices. I don’t think I could only have a minivan as the one and only vehicle as much as I like it. And I wouldn’t pass up a good buy on an older V-8 reg cab GM truck. Could you live Raven as the only ride?
