2023 RST - USB "Scrolling limited while driving" ??

[MrMagloo]

Just got back from a trip to GA with the new RST.  Ran into another strange issue where my USB stick with tons of MP3's was pretty much worthless.  Every time I tried to scroll through the folders, after about 3 screens, it would freeze and say, "Scrolling limited while driving".  So I'd wait, and wait, and wait, and nothing.  It just totally locks down?  Very weird as with AA/Spotify, when doing the same thing, you will get a pause but in a few seconds you can scroll again.  But not with the USB?

 

Has anyone come up with a work around or fix for this.  Jeez, what a PITA.  This basically renders the USB ports unusable unless you only want to listen to music that starts with A.  Ergh!

What I did was to put all my music files into a single directory and then in the infotainment center settings, I found the random play choice and selected it.  I know it's not the greatest solution, but at least it's the music that I picked.

 

Good Luck!

Agreed - that could be an option, but messy for sure.  Lots of dumb choices GM took with this truck.  Why would the internal logic be different in scrolling than the AA environment?  Retarded.

It's about driver distraction which is very real. GM is covering itself. 3rd party apps can take their own responsibility.

Hmm, then you would think they would logically prevent you from scrolling non-stop with the various DIC options while driving too.  The problem is with logic consistency.  I have no issue with them putting in a few second pause like AA does, but totally blocking further scrolling is a little over the top.
