Adding and using your cell phone’s hot spot in the infotainment system’s network must no longer be allowed. I just tried and my cellphone’s hotspot does not show up on the infotainment system’s networks when enabled. I also get a message on the head unit saying “Only WPA/WPA2 WiFi networks can be added”. Darn it! I like the full screen feature of the built in Google maps. I guess I’m stuck using Google maps in CarPlay.

Is it possible to make CarPlay full screen or is it always a split screen?

Great video! I recently purchased a 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country and my audio does the same thing (cutting out for a second or two) except in my case it does it with all media i.e. am, fm, SiriusXM, etc.. Not just CarPlay.When I connect to personal hotspot it stops like you experienced, but when I disconnect it starts skipping again.

I noticed you don’t have the 4GLTE icon next to your location services icon. Can you do a video explaining how to turn that off? Or does that turn off when you cancel all the services? I only pay for the remote access plan for distance remote start
@Cody_Lowen3 ай бұрын
My icon has actually returned on its own, but you are correct for a while there it disappeared when the service was deactivated. I believe the truth of it is data is always active on your truck, GM makes money farming the data of where your truck is and has gone, what kind of trips you drive, etc. Your truck is always connected, you just pay for the privilege to use that connection yourself. Instead of just being a data farm. Other uses for this constant connection are firmware updates and recalls, which for software does save GM money in the long run I believe.

@@Cody_Lowen I was reading through OnStars Privacy policy today, it says we have the right to call and opt out of any selling or sharing of our information. I called and after being passed around a few times and 30 minutes on the phone was able to get them to opt me out of all that for me! I then wanted to turn off the 4GLTE WiFi modem but they told me there was hardware that had to be removed by the dealership and they had to have TAC (technical assistance center) walk them through how to do it. Next thing I’m trying to figure out is how to remove any OnStar communication systems so they can’t disable my throttle or ignition if they wanted to. No luck yet. There used to be a fuse you could pull but I’m not finding one specifically labeled OnStar. If you know of anything that can disable all communication with onstar that would be sweet!

Great information! I thought I had poked around in the setting, but you did the deep dive. FWIW, I listen to music on a USB drive and it too stutters two or three times at the start of a drive. My Infotainment screen locks up every few weeks and needs a hard re-start, sometimes even pulling the Info2 fuse.

@Cody_Lowen6 ай бұрын
Ok and? Why would you pay $180 a year for the exact thing your cell phone does for free. It’s a huge waste of money for absolutely no gain. you can’t get access to the data plan without first purchasing onstar. If that is not the case feel free to correct me, but i found no way to do it otherwise. Base onstar plan is like $40 a month.
