is it actually cold enough for the defrosters to kick on? My wheel and seats have been kicking on but never my mirrors or back window yet, it must be lower than 40 degrees or something like that to get it to automatically kick on.

Not sure,it was 40 or 41. I hope that's the case. Supposed to be low of 37 Thursday night.  I'll try then. Yes my wheel and seats do come on.

Freezing is 32 degrees and I know it was right around that point where my mirrors would kick on. Lately it's been warm and cool to make a good amount of dew on the outside but if I start the truck my vents are in their default defrost state and the heated seats and wheel are automatically on but the mirrors and rear glass never kick on until I get in and turn them on.

 

If you wanted to try it, you can put a ice cube on the little bubble under your passenger mirror which is supposed to be the exterior temperature sensor and see if you can get it cold enough then try to remote start the truck and see if the defrosters will kick the circuit on for you.

It might depend on location as to whether the temps are low enough for all features to activate with remote start or on vehicle start-up. My seat and wheel turned on yesterday when i started the truck, but the AUTO setting for the climate control did not engage the defrost function and the rear defrost also didn't turn on. It was in the mid-50's at the time.

I supposedly got mine done this morning. (2 hours at dealer)   Reading above posts, it seems I should be on android 12.  I’m still on android 10.

not happy, unless I’m missing something

"not happy"  

 

Can't go by the Android version.  

 

You need to look at another page in the radio.  Settings, System, then touch where it shows the Android version.  Once you are in the build menu, scroll down until you see a line of build that has the "Y" version on there.  If the radio was updated, you should see a Y172.5.  If it is NOT Y172, the dealer only did half of your recall.

Isnt the newest version that they are supposed to be installing, Android 12? Seems like every post I have seen on this has this one installed vs 10.

Beware of update...it causes popping and cracking to your phone calls and the radio speakers still go out!  They are working on yet another fix for this...more to come...

Yep.  They didn’t finish.

Take it back then.  The serial data gateway recall includes reprogramming the radio if it is not up to date.

I'm wondering if Y175 takes care of some of the issues popping up with Y171 and Y172.

The build number is what GM/dealers go by.  Customers seem to be attached to the "android version" but in update land its the build number that's important.  The software update TSBs have details of the updates via that build number.  Y172 was the latest, apparently there is a new Y175 that must have just arrived.

I understand build numbers are important in updates. But, generally speaking, the building number for a different version of an OS will still be higher than an older version. Android 12 will be, to some degree, different than Android 10 regardless of build number.

You were right,finally got under 40 degrees and it worked.  Defrost and rear Defrost came on. I guess it was not cold enough.  I guess I felt like my 15 came on at a higher temp. I'm just happy it all works OK. Was worried that update they did messed up something.

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.
