Yea. hmm ok thanks. Wish someone knew what all that gibberish meant it's useful information if you understand it lol.

Generally, who cares what it means unless you're actually a developer or something?

Just checked recalls through the app (myGMC) and I see the incomplete for the recall of N242435631. This is perfect timing cause now I can request a loaner vehicle and leave it for a day for it to get updated. Sigh. I hope this actually improves something. Lol

I checked my chevy phone app. It says everything up to date.. but my radio cuts out at random also. And my phone has a cracking sound thru speakers also when talking on Blu tooth.  It's a 2024 silverado LT 1500..

Based on a couple of posts in this thread, they may be 'slow-rolling' the recalls so as to not overwhelm the system. If you have random cutouts and the HVAC drops fan speed to low (while on AUTO) at the first radio cutout after starting the truck, then you need the update.

The crackling sound was reported by others online about a effect from the recall update being installed. The recall also has had people mention that the update causes voice prompts to be at a lower volume than normal so it's harder to hear.

 

It wouldn't be something from GM's developer teams if it wasn't for a botched update. They did lay off a bunch of software developers a while back as it is.

You know now that you say that I had an oil change a few weeks ago and they told me they did some radio update or something.  Wonder if this was what they did?

Wasn't that layoff predominantly due to the change in how much they were planning on building into the EV's? They were originally claiming they were completely dumping CarPlay and Android Auto and writing their own product but the initial code was garbage AND they had to acknowledge that EV's weren't selling like they (still) believe they will.

I think it was but who knows the full details. I know my father in law has a new trax and it only runs android auto with no built in apps like my Silverado so it's definitely coming.

If your signature is right then yours is not affected. You have a 2015 so it's not the same platform at all.

 

If you have a newer edition then you can check for the update by going into the settings>updates screen and see what it shows for android version. If it's at 10 then you didn't get updated but if it's at 12 they got to you for the update.

GM has dropped all Android Auto in the last couple of years moving to Android Automotive. The most significant difference is that Android Auto is sort of 'mirroring app' to bring app info from your phone to the Infotainment while Android Automotive is the full operating system for the Infotainment being native Android. As a consumer, the most noticeable difference with the two is that Android Automotive can't do anything without a subscription that Android Auto can do natively. No voice prompts, no reading of text messages, no Google Maps, etc. Basically, GM has put convenience and a large amount of safety behind a pay-wall with the newest vehicles.

So I just looked at my recipe from dealer. They did do the up date to gateway module and radio up date on my 24. But yet my radio still cuts out and phone cracks on Blu tooth.  Is what that update was supposed to fix?

For what its worth, I am heading to dealer in a few minutes for software update  and my vehicle is already on the version listed as NEW.

Work complete at dealer (see invoice).  I see no change under settings on the infotainment.  Assuming I am looking in right spot.

This is exactly what they did to mine. And again what's it supposed to fix?

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
