What Owners Say
"camera works and alarm work but not other features"
Anonymous, MT (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"Camera out of focus. Service rear camera light appears when starting truck"
Anonymous, PA (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"it would jam and not release the CD . took it to dealership, they were able to remove CD & told me it was a common problem,wanted a fortune to replace it. Bought a new one non OEM but have problems with inter face on rear camera and steering wheel controls. Was told its made to not interface with non OEM"
Dale D., AR (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"Works intermittently"
Anonymous, AL (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ 5.3-L V8)"My info system on the dash and drivers screen will not stay on the set screen. It changes continually and is a terrible distraction. Mostly it wants to display the radio on the drivers info screen. Sometimes it goes to navigation and shows" no destination given". Usually within a few miles of driving, it has changed 2 or three times. It is a terrible distraction and dangerous. I have gotten accustomed to the trip screen that shows speed, trip miles, and mileage. I do know how to read the gauges!! But when the radio screen comes on nothing else on the drivers screen shows. I can stop and change everything back...but within a few miles or minutes it has changed again, and again, and again. It never goes back to the driver info screen unless I stop and change it back.The dealer said it should have an error code in the software....but they are not seeing any error. They are not finding a problem....so...they are blaming it on the driver....that would be me!! They won't drive it 3 or 4 miles to see what it is doing. So frustrating.!!"
Anonymous, (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ 6.2-L V8)"About 4 years after purchase, the radio screen locked up. This continued for about 8 months and self corrected."
Anonymous, KY (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4.3-L V6)"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 5.3-L V8)"Could not change radio station, adjust volume, or switch inputs"
Anonymous, LA (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ 5.3-L V8)"Screen displays a warning message to not take your eyes off the road while driving, then freezes up until you take your eyes off the road and clear the screen. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AS THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. Washington just passed a law prohibiting a drive from holding a phone while driving. This screen behavior falls into the same class of problems distracting drivers from their duty to watch the road. I have written to the state attorney general asking him to investigate and fine GMC for this driving hazard."
Michael F., WA (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3-L V8)"Display unit went black while driving. Dealer had to replace it. It was a one time issue and your previous question regarding it did not have an option for one time failure."
Anonymous, MA (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS 6.2-L V8)"Display screen goes occasionally blank (resets) when on a call using bluetooth"
Chris L., SC (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"I disconnected/reconnected the cables from the radio module behind the glove compartment to fix the issue."
Anonymous, NY (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"I'm constantly having trouble with the MyLink system being unable to read my USB device. Its like it was made with the cheapest 1980's computer components and unable to handle decent sized USB's - for 2015 that's not acceptable for the price paid."
Anonymous, (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"I'm constantly having to reinstall the device several times while operating the vehicle to make it be recognized - it seems the software has a number of bugs that don't allow it to easily recognize and keep the connection to the device."
Anonymous, ON (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 6.2-L V8)"Several issues related to on board system. 1. It stores data but doesn't appear to have an overt means for me to delete and ensure there's no hidden information for a new owner to access. 2. The entertainment system seems built for the year 2000. It was antiquated rolling off the assembly line. Its better than what most vehicles had - but overpriced for what it does."
Anonymous, ON (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4.3-L V6)"This was explained in previous comments. Display screen went blank while driving. Dealer replaced it."
Anonymous, MA (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS 6.2-L V8)"Intermittent problems with displays, pairing, and touch screen that are extremely annoying and have not yet been resolved."

Anonymous, TX (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4.3-L V6)"Every once in a while the Bluetooth will not connect to the truck. It will do that for several days and then reconnect after several attempts."
Gary Q., CA (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"Display system and radio/HVAC did not initiate twice on start up, I disconeccted battery pawer and system restarted. It went off one while driving in conjuction with instrumentation. I stopped and power cycled key, instruments and radio/displaysystem resterted. This problem was explained at the dealer, I was told there was a PCM? update coming, To my knowledge a update was never installed, thou I have not had the problem recently"
