CD or DVD players, radio, speakers, GPS, communication system (e.g., OnStar), display screen freezes or goes blank, phone pairing (e.g. Bluetooth), voice control commands, steering wheel controls, portable music device interface (e.g., iPod/MP3 player), backup or other camera/sensors.

What Owners Say

Display screen freezes up

"After a phone call hang's up the whole system freezes up and nothing works. I have reported it to the dealer and they told me to make an appointment to bring it in and have it checked out. Well after the vehicle is turned off for 15 to 20 minutes it re-sets and starts working again. Well whats the point of taking it in if they won't look at it at the time I have the problem because, they are just going to say we couldn't duplicate the problem when we checked it out. This has happened 3 time now"

Frederick W., FL (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ 5.3-L V8)

"Display screen randomly freezes displaying a message saying, in effect, "It is dangerous to read this screen while you are driving" The only way to clear the screen is to 1) take your eyes off the road, 2) read the message, 3) locate the screen area where you are directed to clear the message, and 4) reach over and touch the screen to clear the message. So all this before anything else can be done with MyLink, and while your attention is taken off the road. MORE DISTRACTING THAN TEXTING!!!!"

Michael F., WA (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Unsure 5.3-L V8)
