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?

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.
