Still very frustrated with MyLink radio

[WBHMSU]

I have an early 2015 Tahoe LT. The radio UI is so stupid I can't even believe that there isn't something I'm missing in the options or settings but I have been through it 1000x and I don't believe I am.

The whole thing is not intuitive at all but my primary grievance remains that my "favorites" bar does not stay docked to the bottom of the screen. Particularly when I'm on the main "radio" screen. See picture below. In order to access it, I have to go to the home screen and hit the arrow in the lower right of the screen to bring it up. Or if I go to my nav screen, the favorites bar is docked there (I tend to leave nav on all the time now because of this).

What prompted me to start thinking about this again and get frustrated again is that I was in a friend's 2014 Corvette the other day. His MyLink radio is virtually identical to mine in terms of the interface. EXCEPT on his radio screen, the same one in my screen shot below, his favorites bar is indeed docked to the bottom of the screen. WTF?

Is this some kind of version issue with the radio software? Would a dealer perhaps be able to flash a new version for me and upgrade me? It blows my mind that the 2014 radio had this very basic and common sense "feature" and it went away for 2015.

I will have to look on mine when I am on my way home from work. I know with XM the favorites are there so have to see with normal radio.

My biggest disappointment is the lack of HD radio, unless I am missing it being there.

Mine shows favorites on all the screens, my icons also look different so guessing I have a different version.

Thanks for checking. I wonder if the dealer could flash me to a newer/different version? Does that sound remotely possible?

I have an early 2015 Tahoe with Mylink, but my screen does not look like yours, and my favorites bar is docked at the bottom.

To bring up the favorites on the screen all the time in the screen you have posted put/hold your finger along the bottom of the screen for a second and slide it up....that should bring up the favorites bar and it should stay there...

Took me forever to figure this out recently after a unit reflash and I had lost my favorites along the bottom as well until I did that.

Oh my god dude. I love you and I hate you for not telling me this earlier. This has been frustrating the shit out of me since I got my truck in April. Thank you!

In all honesty after I got my screen replaced and MyLink reflashed I felt the same way for a couple days!! Was pissed....and remembered that when the entertainment guy at the dealership walked me through everything he did just that so quick I forgot how he did it... Then it just came to me one day and I was so happy!

Your welcome! Glad to know I wasn't the only one!
