My dealer (Reedman-Toll) PA. states they do not do and will not do this fix. I gave them the tech bulletin # 05-08-44-014A and they won't even look it up - they just keep saying they don't do this type of thing. Any suggestions - is this under warranty? can I call GM and make them do it?

Find another dealer! Or better - do it yourself - save the hassle!

My manual says that if my dealer can't take care of me, to call Chevrolet Customer Service Center at 1-800 222 1020.

I would guess they could help you.

If you need the discs to do it yourself, let me know. It was SOOO easy that it's almost funny....well it's actually really funny that the dealership won't do this for you.
I did it on my early edition 2005 (9/2004) and now I can play MP3 without a problem.

And I thought my dealer's service was bad.... They at least looked at the bulletin and MISTAKENLY said I did not need it......
I have since done the upgrade myself and am currently enjoying mp3's!

Thanks to all for your good advice. Guess I'll contact GM and then purchase the disc myself if I have to. Last car I'll buy from them.

You can download the discs in this thread. Burn them to CD-R and follow the directions. It's easy.

I'd ask them what they WILL do... Got anyone smart enough to change oil back there? 'cause if you can't run this update, I'd be skeptical of their ability to turn a wrench. Be sure your tone is dripping with sarcasm.
