    Adaptive Cruise and radio software upgrade

    If they are telling you that you don't have it, you can always pull up your RPO codes (see attachment) and look for "KSG" which is the RPO Code: KSG Adaptive Cruise Control - Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control - Camera Adaptive Cruise Control Cruise control, adaptive, full range Cruise...

    Can you turn off Auto Shutdown (eco mode)

    Ha! Me too! Right index finger to the start button, after release, left index finger to the "auto shut down" button. It's to the point now where I don't even need to think about it!

    Help a newbie, ‘21 Tahoe z71

    FWIW, I have a 2021 Tahoe Z71 I purchased in November 2020 (Manufactured August 24th, 2020), so one of the first ones in the production run released early into the wild... It has had 6 recalls (one inspection for proper installation of a seat belt parts; 2 requiring software updates; three...

    Extended Warranty?

    Just extended mine this past Saturday. Dennis at Laurel Chevrolet is great to work with (got my extended warranty for my Corvette through him several years ago). So my 2021 Tahoe (purchased in November of 2020) is now covered until 9/30/2028). Price differences with and without deductible...

    Important Update!

    Like everyone else, I received the notice yesterday for my 2021 Tahoe Z71 just as I pulled in the garage after topping off the tank for a trip to Chicago today. As you can imagine, I was concerned that if I downloaded it, what might happen and could cancel our trip. I rolled the dice and...

    New GM SUV Buyer, How Good Are These Cars? Long Term Owners?

    When ever I see these questions, I can't help but think about this meme: I've had 4 Tahoes and 2 Yukons since 2002 and haven't had any "major" problems with any of them that would make me say I'd never buy one again. Sure, I've had them need various repairs (leaking power steering, leaking AC...

    Wireless charging?

    Interesting... My new IPhone 14 is arriving tomorrow (upgrading from an IPhone 11). It's not the "Plus" but I'll keep an eye on this to see if I experience the same thing. The wireless charging for my IPhone 11 has worked without any problems. Thanks for posting!!

    ELSD on Tahoe: 2021 vs 2023

    According to this article, the 2021 Tahoe does not have the eLSD. You can always look to see if your Middle East spec Tahoe for what ever reason has the G96 RPO code for eLSD. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/03/2021-gmc-yukon-offers-electronic-lsd-chevy-tahoe-suburban-dont/

    2021 Tahoe Z71 disabled after software update

    You don't need to do these updates and it doesn't lock up your screen if you don't. You can actually opt-out of getting these OTA updates if that is what you want. That said, I did have some trouble getting this last update as noted in my earlier post, but I now have the latest update...

    2021 Tahoe Z71 disabled after software update

    My mistake; I guess I should have remembered reading the owners manual better which says: Downloading Over-the-Air vehicle software updates requires Internet connectivity, which can be accessed through the vehicle’s built-in 4G LTE connection, if equipped and active. If required, data plans...

    2021 Tahoe Z71 disabled after software update

    For my situation, the problems all started the last week in November and temperatures were well above freezing. I'm familiar with the article about the updates and followed all the recommendations. I'm starting to think it may have been a battery issue (State Of Charge), because it seemed to...

    2021 Tahoe Z71 disabled after software update

    The first time I tried to update I got this when I checked back to see if it had been completed: Tried for several days and kept getting the same message. So I brought it to the dealer and they said the infotainment system needed updating and they did that. Got it home and thought I'd check...

    OTA Update on 2021 Yukon Denali seems to have bricked my truck

    I got the OTA update notification several weeks ago and started the update which looked like all was going well and left the vehicle. I came back later and saw this on the screen: So I waited a day or so and tried again; same notification. I did this several times now... same-same. So I...

    What is this slot for?

    And if you don't have the HUD, that slot can be used for a key-card if you have one to enter/exit a parking garage, for example.

    Veterans Discount Reminder

    That's a good question; I don't know. Two years ago when I did mine, they had the "build-your-own" capability with this offer and you could see exactly what the discount was for the base price and each individual option, but now I don't see that capability. Maybe right now all they are offering...

    Veterans Discount Reminder

    I just got an E-mail reminder from GM (probably because Veterans Day is next week) about the discount offers they have for Military Veterans. I took advantage of this discount back in November 2020 when I purchased my 2021 Tahoe Z71. The MSRP was $65,925 and I received a $3385 discount off that...

    Interior pics?

    Living in a HOT (summer) climate area and after having an all black interior for 4+ years, I've vowed to never do that again and have gone with lighter interior (and exteriors) for several years now. I really like the Tahoe Z71 "Gideon/very Dark Atmosphere" they offered. It's a little darker...

    Pictures of empire beige?

    Yes, I have the "Gideon/Very Dark Atmosphere" and really like it. That was a must for me as I didn't want black; I've avoided black interiors living in an area with very hot summers.

    Pictures of empire beige?

    Here's another pic. One reason I really like this color is that it doesn't show the dirt as much; by that I mean that we just took a 2600 mile road trip through several rain storms and it still appeared clean after 2 weeks on the road!

    2022 Chevy Tahoe Z71 with rust

    It looks like some of our good old Texas/Oklahoma red dirt to me that just didn't get washed off later when driving in the rain. Personally, I would go to a do-it-yourself car wash place and try cleaning those areas real good with their high pressure system and see what it looks like then...

    2021 Z71 Issues Post Lifter Replacement

    It always scares me when I hear about the early model year lifter issues. My Z71 was manufactured in August 2020 and I purchased in November 2020. I heard that changing the oil early on (and often) may prevent this problem from occurring, so I did my first oil change at 2500 miles, another at...

    Mandatory Onstar?

    I have a 2021, do not have a data plan, and wireless CarPlay works fine. I presume the same goes for the 2022 models as well.

    Mandatory Onstar?

    I sometimes have a hard time understanding all this disdain for OnStar and what it can do for our personal safety. Of course I get it that people don't want to pay for these services for a number of their own personal reasons, so I get that part. At the age of 73, I embrace improving technology...
