Did a search through the forum but couldn't find this.  Maybe I have misunderstood Chevy's documentation on the features or I'm just an idiot, but I assumed my truck has Wireless Android Auto, yet I can't seem to get it to work.

 

Background, I have a new (to me) 2022 Silverado 2500HD Custom, with the Custom Value Package, 5th Wheel package, and Safety Confidence Package.  Window sticker only mentions "wired Android Auto" which works.  But then I had been reading that trucks with the 7" screen can work wirelessly.  I tried the procedures in the manual, and theres no wireless AA.  Only offers AA when its plugged in.

 

I'm assuming i read something incorrectly, and wireless is not available on my truck.

My '21 has wireless. I recall reading that '21 was the first year that wireless was implemented, but on select trims or with one of the tech packages; presumably the one that includes the larger infotainment screen.

Is yours an LT LTZ?  Mine is a Custom, looking back art the order guide I must have misread, I have the 7 inch screen and it seems the 8 inch is required for Wireless....

I have tried 2 different wireless adapters from Amazon (I too have a 22 Custom model), and neither one worked.  I called customer support with both of them, nothing worked.  If you find the holy grail of adapters that actually work please let us all know.

Will do, I will likely order one soon.  I do have one in my Alfa Romeo from OTOTO but it doesn't seem to be available on Amazon anymore, it works great.  That said I would probably try something like this

Because of the fact I only have the USB port in the dash so I'd rather not have a wired device hanging off it

I just looked back on my past orders on Amazon and believe it or not I tried that one.  Didn't work for me.  It says no longer available but it didn't work on my truck.  Another reason I gave up on this is because my phone won't be charging using a wireless adapter.  I'm sure the higher model trucks have wireless charging and connectivity but unfortunately my much loved Custom model does not.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
