2023 Chevrolet Colorado Infotainment flash #170 fixes ACC, wireless charging pad and Carplay bugs
The dealer recently flashed my Android infotainment system to version #170, I was running #169. This addressed issues I was having with ACC (adaptive cruise control), the wireless charging pad, as well as sound issues with CarPlay and the infotainment related to remote starting from the keyfob.

Just a quick side by side comparison of my WS6 Firebirds. Kinda cool to see the changes of the original 4th gen versus the refresh. I enjoy them both for different reasons but the LS1 refreshed birds definitely have some advantages.

93-97 LT1 Camaro Firebird dual cat oil level sensor replacement
มุมมอง 824ปีที่แล้ว
replace the oil level sensor on your LT1 without removing the cats. At this point most of us may be cutting the cats off as we are 25 years old and not beholden to emissions requirements any longer. However if you're trying to maintain a stock vehicle, here is a trick to replace the sensor without removing the driver side cat. I updated the video as I had to use JB Weld to ensure a tight seal.

Exactly the kinda review I was looking for. Thanks for the video!
This has been annoying me for a year, and I’m now about to FIX it thanks to your help!!
They are Gorgeous 😍 ❤️ love to have them on my 2000 WS6. Great job 😊😊😊
I have an iPhone 14 and whatever I try it won't wirelessly charge
Just ordered mine just wondering if the lights that came with it are still working
Still amazing…

Does anyone know, how to reset the speed limit sign? Like mine use to work now it doesnt show the speed limit it’s kinda like two dash marks inside that box, do I just need to cycle it or is it more of an issue than that?
Not 100% sure but I saw in some facebook groups saying that if your onstar package thing expires, it won't give you the speed limits anymore. I believe some people get a couple months free of onstar with the purchase of the truck and then after it expires it disappears.
@@matthewlopez2050 I have the onstar thing, I was just wondering if you have to have a higher package
Did you black out the bose speaker emblem? What did you use if so? My 2024 Z71 gives me error messages too for the wireless charging. Adaptive has been perfect so far. If I signal to the right, when I finish the turn and the signal switch resets to neutral, it will sometimes signal left. But! Been great otherwise lol
Did you find that the step is too narrow to actually function as a step? Love the look!
Yes and no, little kids use them, I use them to clean the car, my wife finds them annoying. So I would say it’s more for looks, kids and accessibility, but not great for adult feet.
@@ringnjc That is exactly what is making me hesitate to pull the trigger on these. Thanks for the reply.
Nice man, I'm from Lower Burrell, haven't ran my 2SS there but did the xx speed day there with Ferrari 488gtb n huracan
the scope of the garage implies that much nicer vehicles will be inside than what actually are lol.. don't get me wrong I love an F-body but usually this kind of setup yields an old Porsche or Ferrari or something
I got a 2024 it is a very nice handling truck. Took it for a trip to Seattle went well. After driving that far we had to get out about half way. I'm 75 have to stretch my legs. The seat did get uncomfortable after a 8 hour drive. I think that would be normal. I'm having a hard time with all the electronics not used to that stuff. I got all the safety stuff to being older. I actually learned so stuff by watching you. Lots of things to have to do to drive this. Might be a little much for me. I do love the truck.
Is there a way to see turbo boost on the screen?
Nice garage man! I just did my house garage up but I’m itching to build a shop like this on my property! Tons of potential you have there for sure!
Fantastic instructive underrated video. I'm about to tackle the same repairs and this helps me out a lot. Inspiring. Thanks!
Pretty sweet exhaust system! 👍
Anyone know how to turn off the Sirius xm radio subscription ad? It’s so annoying.
i called them and canceled
Your Colorado does come with a transfer case skid plate, which my LT did not.
Tks for this video.! I have a question: Can you save a copy of the camera video on an ext drive?
I think u need a premium account
Can you get the Go Rhino sticker off the middle of the running board?
I want to know as well
Yes, but you have to take the whole hexagon plate off
Which ones faster and handles better ?
To many issues with these trucks and no support from GM. GM supposedly sent a engineer to look at my truck and i was hopeful it would finally get fixed. Unfortunately he just pencil whipped saying everything is good to cover their butts from a BBB report I made. Took the truck home and started recording. Nothing fixed still same issues. So guess it will be his word vs my recordings and the hundreds of other people with the same issues not to mention their is a stop sale for one of the issues. Will never own another GM product in my lifetime nor will my children. This same thing happened to my neighbors grandfather and now you have 3 generations who have never or will never own a GM product
GM does seem to be dropping the ball on new rollouts. My truck has been great since the firmware update so hopefully u get yours sorted.
Thanks
Didn't work
Bummer, it took a few tries for me to get a seal. Make sure it’s really clean
I left my suction cup mount on my windshield. Stuck much better to the caps when it was warm and sticky sitting in the sun.
Isn't Basil a food ingredient?
Haha, bezel. I’ll work on annunciation 😂
Are those the Firestone firehawks?
Yes the Indy 500’s
@@ringnjc get rid of them. They aren't made for track days. Absolute shit tire.
Sadly GM went away with gas hood struts and replaced with a manual hood props. Every new car should come with gas struts. Plus the gauge cluster doesn’t fill the whole screen. Be nice if they added a physical speed cluster like the previous gen
The 24’s have a full gauge cluster, but mine doesn’t bother me, it still has plenty of info and is nice to look at.
How wide is that suction cup
2 inches I think
Can you take out the switch without removing the airbag?
You have to remove it, but your not disconnecting the wires. Don’t be nervous just follow my steps. I’ve done this 4-5 times over the years
Thank for the video!
Thanks for posting bud!
You bet
I'm curious to learn if the Blind Spot Indicators on your Colorado were randomly turning on despite no vehicles on either side, and whether this update may have corrected that issue as well? Thanks for this video, BTW.
I did notice this previously but not since the update.
@@ringnjc My son in law just had the latest update applied to his infotainment system last week. The "phantom" blind spot indicator issue didn't go away.
Am having the same issue with my 23 z71. Dealer has no fix....very frustrating!
What's crazy is that GM's long term plan is to drop Apple CarPlay and Google's offering and force consumers to subscribe to GM's proprietary system. But who would want to do that if they can't provide a reliable system now?
Agreed. I had a Blazer EV reservation but dropped it as soon as I heard that news and got the Colorado. Lyric and Hummer still have it for now. I suspect they might reverse course
nice we are the same
Awesome Review!!!! I ordered the same model and colour!! Couple questions , how comfy are the seats and how do you like the Bose System?
Awesome, the seats are very comfortable and the bose system actually sounds great, very clear and great bass 👍
Thank You for your input. Any issues with the truck I had a Tacoma with no issues. We don’t have one here to sit in lol. Have a great weekend!!!
Check my other videos, some software bugs initially but all ironed out now
Thanks for the info!! Great video! I own a 2023 ZR2. My truck has been in the shop for 8 weeks straight cause the turbo went and there’s no parts for any of this truck it seems. But before I brought it in in Dec for the turbo, I had all of these issues too. So good to see they might be fixed. I’ll ask them to update before I pick it up. Whenever that will be.
Man that sucks. Hang in there hopefully it all gets worked out and you can start enjoying it. It is a great truck for the money.
Don't buy! My 23 Canyon with 3700 miles needs new axles shafts due to TSB-23-na-208 (rear whine at 50 mph) Been waiting on parts for a month! Run away! GM sucks!!!
This is common with all first year vehicles. It is surprising they don’t catch more of these issues before they go into full production but I see it with all brands, some worse than others. There must have been a bad batch of axels from a supplier.
Do you know what these Go Rhino side steps/running boards weigh??
I don’t know but if I had to guess your adding around 30lbs per side
It’s good you don’t have the plastic oil pan and plastic drain plug! Some of the new Colorado/Canyons did. What junky parts GM!
Nice and easy customization, thanks for video. On my zr2 it seems like no sound comes from that speaker when I put my hand over it, is it just a “vocals” speaker I’m wondering.
Glad I found this. Had my bird since new in 98 and for the last 10 years or so been driving around with the volume light out. Irks me to no end but didn't know how to fix it!
For the fellas who ordered their Colorado, Once the dealer took delivery of your order did they attempt to mark the truck up? In other words did anyone had to hassle the OTD price? I really like that lift, I wish!!! Lol
I love my Colorado. I ordered mine last October and took delivery Jan5th. I just got the Trailboss in Tint coat radiant red, got all the trailboss packages, the factory 2 inch lift with the 18inch rims and 33 inch GoodYears. The only thing I was disappointed with was the inability to get leather. So I took it to an ulposter specialist and had him make me a leather interior.
How much did that cost you roughly? Interested in doing that also
Biggest problem with all this new tech is our wants or more than our needs ! Whats wrong with just reg cruise control ! All this tech just brings some problems ! Stay a bit more basic ! Problem solved !
Haha, this is true. It is nice on a longer trip though
Interesting video! Thanks!
Thanks for the review! Gonna buy one this summer!
Glad I could help!
I’ve had an issue with LED bulbs. They keep burning out after a couple of months.
I haven’t had a problem with the bulbs from these guys yet, but I’ve probably only put 2k miles on the car since I did it and maybe 30% night driving. So small sample size. They also don’t dim very much. I would consider switching back to incandescent for better dimming.
Most people will never drain their differentials during ownership. Also, You should try to pick up the truck with the rear lift arms at the forward leaf spring perch. Thanks for sharing the video.. Looks like GM went to electronic parking brake with the 23' colorado/canyon?
Thx for the recommendation, I’ll look next time I lift it. Ya, unless you’re doing serious off roading, towing or track day(not in a truck) you’re probably right differential fluid should last a long time
I live in Phoenix AZ & I’m thinking about either this model or the ZR2. Do you think this Z71 with the 20’s would still be ok off-road on some easy trails? I’m not looking to rock crawl, just looking to get out into some rocky trail terrain for hiking etc. any idea? Thanks!
Absolutely, they would be more than ok and very smooth on the road.
Just got the Depo ones for my 2001 ws6 about to install I knew how it was done but the video helped with the reminder of the process can’t wait till mine look clean mine is arctic white too lol and got the Depo ones off A1 auto hope my bolts go right in , they should … , car looks nice man
Thx!
I bought a 02 FireHawk about the same time. Your story is very simliar...I flew 1 way and drove my home from TX to Fla. Car only had 9k miles...and put nearly 1k on the drive home. Had a blast...
