I have a Sept built 2016 2LT non Z51 and I don't know if I have it or not. I'm just very happy to have the car.

So you had this same problem and they repaired it? Please share info. can you pm me the dealer and your service rep. I and my dealer have been working with GM and now GM engineering/program writers to resolve this issue. Any info you can share would be great. If you could give us this info my Tech or the GM engineer could make contact to see how the issue was resolved. Thanks.

[QUOTE=Boiler_81;1591571142]It's also amazing what you can find out by reading the thread. The manual tells you how to start the timer but it doesn't work on early 16

I wish I had the options to make the timers work like the owners manual says, problem is those areas high lighted in yellow are not there?

I'm not sure why you quoted me, I'm in agreement with you. I have the same issue on my early 16. The people who quote the manual telling us how it works clearly haven't read the thread. The timer just doesn't work in the early 16s. I hope the procedure to fix this is well known by the time I take mine out of storage in the Spring.

We need this info! Hopefully you can post a TSB or other information so that our local dealers can take care of it.

Please post what you can, or pm the details if you want it to remain anonymous.

Thank you,

Thank you,
I sent Sandicar a PM, He said he will ask the Manager if he can talk to the tech to ask what he did?
I asked Sandicar to send me the dealer number in Canada and the name of the person who knows about this issue and I would have GM call the dealer. Not sure why he could not give up this info? It would save time and help alot of us.

I had the same issue... turns out you need to press the "SEL" button, before it does anything.

I have also sent emails to GM and a PM to our Customer service Rep, As you can imagine NO reply from any of them? Where is the GM REP? I would think HE/She would chime in on this issue?

Anyone find out a software number so those of us without it, can have our respective dealers update us to the correct / latest version?

From what I am told the GM engineers are currently working on it. my car spent 3 days at the dealership with GM working on it, no luck. I was told they should have a fix within 2 to 3 weeks, so hopefully will have some news this week. I will post my case number later today for a reference.

Awesome, thanks! I found another piece of missing software, if you want to eliminate the lines that show up on the backup camera, that option is gone in 2016's, or at least early build 16's. I looked for it yesterday because of a thread here and its missing.

Home>Settings>Vehicle (I think) there should be one for rear camera. If any of you get a chance, take a look to see if its there. Thanks!
