Infotainment system update this morning

[blckblt]

Any idea what the update is for/does?

 

I got it this morning.  I think it is updating right now as my on star/my chevy app won't work....

 

I think it was version 148 which I don't think is new.

A new radio software update, version U148, is being released for vehicles equipped with Infotainment system RPO IOS, IOT or IOU, in addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements. This update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases.

 

This update can occur remotely through in-vehicle prompts from the radio display. However, some customers may decline the vehicle update or the update may be unsuccessful. Along with the vehicles mentioned above, vehicles in unconnected markets, and fleet customers may need the dealer to reprogram the radio with the new software package.

 

 

Now, I'm not trying to sound like a smart a$$, but I wonder if some people on the forums/facebook groups don't do the updates ever or at all and don't realize that by doing them, it might resolve an issue that they may run into.  Or, they turned off the auto updates.  For example, the black/locking up screen.  I've seen plenty of posts on the 2019+ group on Facebook within the past few weeks.  This update came out back in December 2019.

I realize this update came out in Dec 2019.  I bought my truck on Jan 31.  Auto updates are turned on.  Just got the alert today.....

 

I also have a recall today to get the brake controller reflashed.

I actually started having new issues after doing the update. Their fixes either dont always work and/or they sometimes create new problems.

Everything worked fine before the update and everything works fine after the update. Only difference noted was the Nav takes about 2 seconds longer to boot, but worth it with the improved connectivity, more accurate response to voice commands and pop up info when approaching school zones which is great because that's where the PRMD thieves hide their stationary speed cameras.
