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.

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
