Infotainment System Update

[KLA]

That’s some shit there. No updates if you don’t pay them for a data plan. I mean the truck can connect to your home WiFi if it just needed a connection.

That might work. Never thought of home WiFi, or even use your phones Hotspot. I'm pretty sure you just need a OTA connection.

I'm pretty sure mine are connected to home wifi too. There is a setting that allows you to turn on and off uodates and specifically for wifi.

Excellent! So, in other words, it will work with our phones Hotspot also?

Seems so. I’m ok with that.

I've not tried to hot spot it.

Just out of curiosity, do our trucks not update the software without an OnStar plan? I always thought they did until I found the link below.

Site Maintenance

That's for the OnStar app only....not the infotainment system software

Also, I think I'll just wait til the next time I have my truck at the dealer to get the Android 12 update. Don't have any problems with the infotainment system right now so no hurry to fix what isn't broke.

Some had major issues. Always loosing signal, freeze ups, no satellite, ect.... For me ...it definitely smoother... More responsive.... I am happy with it.

They stopped the OTA updates because they were bricking some systems and not just trucks, but cars also. I know that Google maps and the apps that you have installed through the Play store that is installed in the truck. Those will update OTA, just not a system update.
