GM is so focused on "tech for tech's sake" that they are leaving out the part about making sure it WORKS in real-world scenarios...

Nailed it!

Tell me about it, I tried the hard wire method on an 8 hour trip this weekend and guess what? I got my CarPlay to work. Of course it took some setting changes where I had to delete my truck from my ph

UPDATE!! It works! Took my truck to the dealership and here is what they said..."apparently you truck was in middle of an update and got hung up. This caused the software to not update going forward." So my truck was in middle of an update when it hung up. It could no longer update and was now 4 updates behind. Interestingly enough, the software showed "software up to date" because it could no longer update or ping for latest update. 

 

Bluetooth, WiFi and Carplay have worked for 48 hours and 6 truck on/offs. It would be nice if Chevy had a website where you could check what the current version is and compare it to your truck version...similar to most smartphones.

It would be nice if the OTA updates didn't constantly bork all kind of stuff on these trucks. I used the update function on my Camaro with good results. I have completely disabled the function on the truck because so many people have had so many problems and it is likely the cause of the software corruption that screwed so much stuff up in my truck.

I did the same thing. I'll check for an update manually, once a month or so when its sitting in my driveway, connected to my home Wi-Fi. Otherwise, I'll remind the dealer to do it during oil change.

You're actually more brave than I am. I have no interest in even checking for updates any more.

Guys I have the same problem and at wits end trying to deal with it, upon going through all the system I found something that actually works try this. Go to settings then to System then to Quick Start up and turn off this feature, now your system will reboot every time you get in and start it up, so far it has worked every time

There isn't a fix but more of a work around. Turn Quick Start off. Either bluetooth or wifi is getting hung up by using quick start and not allowing Car Play to work. It takes 15-20 seconds for the Infotainment System to boot up every time you start your truck.

Not sure if this has been posted or not (didn't read the entire thread, sorry). I just did the following to recover mine after it stopped working a few weeks in:

 

- Forgot the bluetooth connection on my iphone

- Forgot the wifi connection on my iphone

- Deleted the phone from the 'connections' section of the truck

- Deleted the trusted device from the truck

- Held down the hangup button for 20 seconds and let the truck reboot

- Went to the "CarPlay" section of the iphone settings

- Went to the connections section in the truck, then to phones, add phone

- When the truck showed up as an available vehicle in the CarPlay section of the iphone settings, I clicked it

 

That took me through the standard pairing stuff (codes, click pair on both screens, etc) and then CarPlay started working again. I've drive the truck (off / on) 5 times or so today after doing this and all seems to be well. Fingers crossed.

I had my Infotainment center updated when I had my ECU/Emissions recall performed a few months ago. Between that and disabling quick start Ive experienced zero issues connecting to Apple CarPlay. I think disabling auto-air updates as well would be a good way of preventing further issues down the road (i just manually pull updates when I'm connected to my house's extended wifi). Prior to the updates I had to turn off Blutetooth and Wifi on my phone and manually re-connect the phone on the truck.  Hopefully this helps someone.

OTA updates are problematic because of the update. Many people are getting updates that are not intended for their vehicles and it's messing up the systems in the trucks leaving things in a partially or totally inoperable state. I allowed an OTA update shortly after I bought my truck last October and almost immediately had a check engine light illuminate for ABS communications issues. I cleared that and had started building out a list of items I needed the dealer to check due to not operating correctly (passenger side lane indicators, problems with touch screen responsiveness, EPB setting itself every time I parked in my driveway, and a myriad of other issues. I brought it in and they claimed zero issues (after having it four days. I picked it up and halfway home had every conceivable warning go off including reduced power and steering column lock warning (my truck doesn't have a steering column lock). I shut it off and was able to get it restarted without reduced power and took it right back. Another week later and a case with GM and they "found" a software corruption (from the update) in the Communications Gateway Module. 

 

Since clearing that problem, most of the gremlins are gone (although the truck still completely violates the process for the EPB and sets it 100% of the time I park in my driveway which is completely level). I will never allow an OTA update on that truck again because what I experienced is the extremely mild version of what many others have experienced as a result of the updates (only their trucks bricked and had to be taken to the dealer by flatbed).

Totally agree! Turned mine off and only request updates at dealer during oil change. Its crazy that Musk has figured the OTA updates but GM bricks (exaggerating) our trucks on a simple 10 kbs update.

To be fair, I -never- had an issue with OTA updates in the Camaro, and had a couple of quirky issues get corrected via those updates. It's something about the current updates for the trucks, specifically. It's like they do not have the VIN's correctly mapped to different (appropriate) updates or they're using one update file for every truck and the systems aren't able to install ONLY the correct components. This debacle is a big part of why I have zero faith in GM's go-forward intent to fully dump Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in favor of their own software. Even with the current move to Android Automotive, there are issues with how it works.

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      By davester · Posted

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
