And from the info starting at page 131 -- the only thing I could ever find was the info about 'Remote Start Auto Heat Seats'. 

 

Yupp -- I might have missed it in the manual.

Yupp -- I might have also missed it working the settings on my 2021.

 

With it working that way on the 2020 Acadia, I did want to get it working on the truck. 

Been using remote start auto heated seats/mirrors/wheel/defrost for years.

 

 

 

Same - I found only info for how it pertains to remote start. 

 

I gave up expecting one vehicle model to work the same as another since the infotainment systems are not necessarily the same. Sometimes the systems change significantly from one model year to the next within a model. My 2015 Silverado had no AA/CarPlay but my brother's 2016 does. They did similar with the Gen6 Camaro where they changed out the infotainment system a few years into the generation and added AA/CarPlay and OTA updates.

 

The '24 manual shows very similar details about the feature but doesn't actually refer to the section about personalization. Instead it has the attached.

I do notice a huge difference in terms of how quick the steering wheel gets warm, but I like it. I usually have it auto turn on the seats and the steering wheel anytime I get in, or a passenger gets in. As someone who always misplaces their gloves it's great! If there is one thing that GM does well is they do not lack on heated seats/steering.

My 23 Sierra SLT steering wheel gets up to 130 degrees!!! I don't understand how this is acceptable.  My dealer told me GM told them that is what it is supposed to be....

Why -wouldn't- it be acceptable? You do realize that for anything to feel warm, it has to be warmer than your own body temp? That immediately puts you at about 100 degrees just to start. A heating pad on high can be around 150-160 degrees.

 

"Up to" 130 degrees tells me that's the target temp of the element, but holding the wheel will draw the temp down, probably to around 110-115.

Personally I love the heated steering wheel in mine. It's the second best I've ever had.  My wife has a telluride though and hers gets so hot I actually do have to turn it off after a while, but I personally like a hot steering wheel when it's cold out.

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
