If the files are FLAC-encoded (lossless), that may be the issue. Try exporting the songs out as MP3 format and see if that addresses the issue.

I will try. They were imported as Apple lossless files.  I copied a few songs to a new flash drive 3.0 but there

was no choice of export option.  They just copied as regular files.  i dragged the song to the flash drive and

it copied to the drive.  The song plays fine on other computers.

 

Thanks

That option is not available on my Itunes. My computer (MAC) is too old to even update so maybe that is the 

reason. I did delete an imported CD and then reinstalled it as a MP3 instead of Apple Lossless and then copied

it to a flash drive and guess what it worked. So i guess the USB has to have at least MP3 files.  Do you think the people 

at GM would state this in the manual.  It's only a few lines of type. And GM itself was no help when i called. 

Perhaps they need smarter people working for them.

 

 

Thanks to all who helped me. Much appreciated.

Apple Music is the iTunes replacement on Mac. I have the latest, and the steps I linked you to work there.

Not trying to play music off a flashdrive but I am trying to use USB to play music. I am also not able to play music and it says “No USB Device Connected”. Has anyone found a fix for this?

Whatever you are attempting to connect via USB must be recognized as a "removable drive".  Plug the device into a computer - if it doesn't show up as a removable drive there, it isn't going to work in the truck.

Its doesn't matter what you do, GM has ALL USB and Apple Play devices shutdown while in motion. I have tried several different USB sticks with different formats, same issue. If you have apple play working, your cannot scroll through your music unless 1 you are stopped or 2 the vehicle is in park. Once moving, you can scroll a few tracks only...

 

I have a 2023 S Class, and a Model X Tesla that handle USB/Music and apple play flawlessly....it's not your audio hardware, it's the truck.

I have the opposite problem.

 

my dashcam needs a USB port to plug in, but it keeps thinking I’m connecting to a computer and won’t function. 
 

is there a way to make the USB connection “power only”?

Yes. They sell "data blocker" devices that will restrict connections on USB ports to ONLY the pins providing power. I have them in both the USB-A and USB-C style. While my dashcam doesn't need one, their use does allow my wife to charge her phone via cable without my Infotainment system trying to automatically set her phone up as linked to my truck...

What cab trim?

If it is rear seats and usb ports for the rear, they will be power only. 

 

What dashcam make/model?

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
