Have any 17/18 owners swapped stereo/head unit with 19+ version??
Curious if any 17/18 owners have swapped out their stereo/head unit with a 19+ head unit. I kind of dig the newer interface, but more importantly, the 16-18 head units are BUGGY AF when it comes to android auto and carplay. Afaik, my unit has the most recent updates too. I know we can't maintain all our functionality with any aftermarket setup (PDR, exhaust settings, etc), so I'm hoping the 19+ head unit will fix it.
Primary problem I have is that if I make a phone call with voice command, nobody can hear me (using AA - hey google, call <insert person here>), and I can't hear them (can't even hear it ringing); same problem when they call me. It dials/calls and answers fine, you just can't hear anything. I had the exact same problem in my '16 2SS (in fact, I got rid of the car in large part because of that), and now with my '17 ZL1 (and with multiple different phones). It will work *sometimes* IF I dial manually from my phone (select contact, then call), but even that breaks with some updates. Before someone says it, yes, I did have the same problem with carplay when I tested, not quite as often, but I'm not using a phone I can't stand regardless lol. I do NOT have the problem with AA with the same phone in my '16 Suburban; works beautifully 100% of the time. Anyone done it? Any idea if its feasible? It's pissing me off that if one of my kids calls me while I'm driving, they can't hear me or me them... Last edited by HoodCheck; 06-10-2020 at 10:10 AM. |

Curious to hear about this as well and do the 19 and up ZL1 cars have upgraded head units with more modern features than the 17 and 18 ZL1s?

For reference, for the buggy behavior with the calls...I got it working again, for now...
I wiped my phone from AA and the car altogether, and wiped the reference to all my cars from AA itself. Added it back, same problem... So I gave it another shot, but this time, while sitting there looking at the settings, I got the little pop up that I was connected to the wireless hotspot (the car, not my phone), and well, I don't use it, so I went ahead and disabled it. Then I did my next phone call test and BAM, it worked. So, I'm not sure if it was luck, or if the wifi hotspot in the car was causing the problem to begin with; all I know is that I readded everything a second time and turned off wifi in the head unit settings, then it all started working again... Hopefully I just found the why...otherwise I'll report back saying it was dumb luck later
