Not sure how any of these updates work. However, I did most recent updates to infotainment system mid January. My 22 cameras don't stay on but they do on my 24.
If this is your 22 in the pic then this would lend a lot of credence to the fact that these systems are NOT the same except for software/firmware, it would point to the probability that the hardware has been changing, and improving in capability over time, so these older systems may in fact NOT be able to have the cameras on all the time or possibly load the ZR2 animations in the older radios.
You may be right. However, I believe that they are all the same hardware. It would not be economically feasible for a manufacturer to make a hardware change, or several changes over such a short period of time. There is no ZR2 animation on the radios at all...only the gauge cluster area has the ZR2 animations.
Yeah it's mine. All three of mine have different versions and dates. All say they are "up to date". 22 ZR2 was in for some other work and it had the latest infotainment update from January 4th. Yet it shows kernel date well before that........so not sure All updates are synced to a common package of upgrades.
It does not take that long. Took 2 hours for mine for both the Camera Update and Radio update. Some of these service advisors are clueless!
I do think it takes time to reload software. It's likely as good as the tech doing the work. Mine went fine, but my advisor and the one next to them flat out told me they've had units get bricked and had to install another one. I think that's pretty rare.
Didn't realize those are separate updates. Should I be asking for both?
im dreading next dealer visit...last time 2 hours and zilch because tech did not hardwire.
Yes they are separate. Make sure you complain the radio cuts out and the camera's do as well.
I've got to the point where I just drop mine off in the afternoon and pick it up the next. Seems alot more predictable. I sometimes get a ride from my wife, but they'll get you in a Lyft ride for no charge.
Maybe, but I would bet that GM doesn't build the modules, and probably only specs them out, I know from 40 years in a electronic manufacturing company that designs do change as parts become unavailable or pricing changes, still I can't think of any other way that software would work so differently since AXE and I have the exact same kernel and build in our units, but maybe there is more to it that we don't know. When I said ZR2 animation, I simply meant that there seemed to be a difference in infotainment system startup screens over the years, and I also wonder what drives the DIC and gauges, I would think it is likely the infotainment that drives it all?
