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.

UPDATE: The new update for the recall did not fix my infotainment issues. It's back at the dealer.

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.

panicfishwater · October 11

Yep. They didn’t finish.
Y169.3.2

kellyb · October 12

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...

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.
