Interesting.

I had the update installed last week but have yet to experience the crackling.

I’m still running Android 10. I’ve tried to update but keep getting the message that.    I have the latest version.

I believe they revised the serial data module recall to no longer update the head unit (separate from the serial data module) to Android 12 somewhere along the way, probably due at least in part to this issue.

The issue is fixed in Y175.  It should be available soon.  They are getting close to sending out over the air updates soon if you took your truck in for CGM update.

Now that Y175 is out they shouldn't be updating to Y172 (the build causing the issues) any longer. Just ask them to make sure they update to Y175 when you take it in for the recall.

This sounds like the problem I have with my new 2025 GMC Sierra Denali. The Bluetooth connection using Android Auto is unusable for a phone call.  It is appalling that I cannot make a call with this brand new vehicle. Further, when I try to switch the call to my phone or Bluetooth headset, the system tries to switch back to the GMC system. I have tired disconnecting and reconnecting, resetting the system by by disconnecting the negative terminal. GM has a problem here.

Luckily nobody likes me so I rarely have anyone to talk to on the phone, but I agree it's a very annoying issue.

I recently had the update done while in for State Inspection.  The update did fix the crackling problem on Bluetooth calls.

Do we know if this is indeed going to be coming out OTA? I'd rather not take it to the dealer if it is.

Any updates on this?  I've been holding off on the recall because of the bad audio/Bluetooth issues, waiting to hear that it gets fixed before I go get the recall done.  Thanks.

I picked up my 2025 yesterday.  I ordered it october.  The first call i recieved on my drive home had this crackling sound.  Did i some how get the old software version in the length of time it took for them to complete my build and ship the truck to me?

Very possible. Go to the settings on your head unit/infotainment, then System -> About, then scroll down to where it says "Build Number". The second line under build number will have some letters/numbers, then will say "Y###.#.#", with the pound signs being your current build. Mine is on Y172.6.1, which is what they updated to that caused the crackling. If you're on Y175.x.x it shouldn't have the crackling.

My warranty expired (2022 Yukon) between the initial recall update and the fixed version being released. The dealer says the update will cost $150 even though the issue was caused by GM in the first place. Can I truly not get this update myself?

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
