Drove to the cabin this past weekend and Google Maps (Vehicle Nav System) worked great.  I know the route so don't need the nav but it is nice to see arrival times and have it re-route for potential traffic issues.  Anyway, leaving to come home and select my home address from the favorites, route is entered it calculates and I head towards home.  The NAV location never leaves my cabin though, its stuck at that location.  Pulled over to reboot to no avail.  Called OnStar and they tried a reset procedure that seemed to do nothing (holding ther home button for 20 seconds).  The WiFi was working and I was signed into my current Google account.

 

They escalated the issue yesterday and I have I yet to get a call back.  I have had more quirky electrical/tech issues on this truck than my last 3 combined.

That's happened to me a couple times as well. I just reset the head unit (hold the mute/hangup button on the steering wheel for about 10 sec while the truck is on in park) and that has cleared it up. Annoying for sure.

My '24 Ultimate has been plagued by these gremlins as well.  Have taken to the dealer they flash modules then it is good for a while then the gremlins reappear.  Example this weekend driving and XM rebooted twice while driving as well as google maps full random reboots map disappears and everything just a scroll bar while driving not in bad coverage area either.  Mine has also played the route no route game a few times where it will just lock up and not show your correct location anymore. Not overly impressed thus far my '21 had zero issues the entire time I owned it.

I just got in the truck and noticed the Nav rebooting.  It is now resolved, not sure if it was something sent from On Star, I never did hear back from them.

My dealer did tell me to push the OnStar button anytime the screen has issues as they can reset and push updates to the truck to resolve most glitches.

If the GPS is losing signal, there is a new app that can be downloaded.  Go to the app store and download.  I forget the name of the app to download but I think there are only a few to chose from.  There was a software bug on the Google side of the system.

Update the Google maps app through the play store app on your infotainment screen.  Similar to looking for app updates on your phone.

Has anyone had an solution to the GPS signal not found on Google maps.  Just picked up a new 2024 3500hd and still have this issue GM dealer said this is normal the solution he told me was to simple use either Apple or Andriod connected services Instead of the trucks Google maps.  I realize this is an old thread but hoping I have missed something

"Don't use the built-in Google system and use AA or CarPlay" seems like a cop-out answer on the dealer's part. However, I would agree that it's the best answer. I had the "signal not found" issue several times and the only fix was to reboot the head unit (hold down the end call button on the steering wheel for ~10 seconds while in park).

 

After my data trial ended I've just been using Android Auto and it seems to work much better than the built-in maps. Other people have mentioned software updates fixing things, but you have to go to the dealer for the update.

Thanks, and yes reseting the system makes sense.  I had assumed that after 8 months GM and Google would have come up with a software patch to stop having to reset the software when  it locks up.  I have e used Andriod Auto in the past but this new truck had the 3 years included data so though that made more sense at any rate I will keep on the dealer to clue them in to customer service as apposed to the who cares attitude they currently have.  I'm a little concerned that if this minor issue does not matter will they care anymore about the bigger ones if they arrive.

 

Thanks again

      I suspect at some point in the near future, the hardware will be free and you pay a subscription to access the vehicle - alldata style.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
