UConnect start-up woes.

[sbcncsu]

Two days this week, at initial start-up in the morning, my head unit has done this. It buzzed then reset itself. Anyone else have this happen?

That's an amp issue in my opinion. Probably an issue with the amp booting up when the amp is "cold". Once the radio sees an issue it restarts itself. This is enough time for the amp to warm up and work correctly after the radio reboot. I'd start by debugging the amp at an audio shop or dealership. Or just replace the amp and see what happens.

Well, maybe back to the dealer.....

Well, today's over-the-air update seems to have caused new issues:

Today mine started searching for a wifi connection after the truck is shut off. Screen eventually shuts off after about 5 min., called dealer and no one had any idea of what's going on.

All is well today. After sitting a few hours it started up with an error screen saying something to the effect of "App updates unsuccessful, rolling back all apps.". Took about 5 minutes for the radio to complete the rollback and restart.

update: Truck got an over the air update yesterday, things seem to be back to normal for now.

Bump this back to the top. My '22 does what both videos show. I hold the power button to reset it but it doesn't help. Turning the truck off and leaving it seems to temporarily clear it up. It'll do it again and it's been doing it more recently. Mostly when I leave work. I remote start the truck and when I make it out to the truck it's either resetting itself and faults or it'll fault when I press the start button. I guess it's heading to the dealership for an update.

Having the same issues with my 2024. Gotten very frustrating

Finally got mine to the dealer WHILE it was glitching out. The tech hooked up witech right away and the radio showed no codes and was communicating with the scantool. They took it back to the bays and attempted to force a software update but the radio didn't accept the update. The dealer ordered a new radio and it will be installed on Monday. I'll post the results and my experience when I get the truck back.

Radio was replaced at the dealer yesterday. So far, it works perfectly, no glitching or spontaneous resetting.

Interestingly, the display is a little different that the old one. Fonts are different and icons look different. The MPH display in the cluster is now a different font as well. Curious if the cluster had to be updated with the new radio?

Hendrick Cary did a great job.

Check your radio themes in settings

Check your radio themes in settings

It changes the font in the HUD as well if equipped.

I adjusted the Theme back to what I think I had before but the font is still different. I'll try again after work. Thanks for the info!

Add another one to the list. My 2022 does the first one (buzzing/reset) too. It has done it about 5 times starting just after the last OTA update.

Theme 5 got me back to pre- replacement fonts. Radio is still performing flawlessly.

Good luck with your radio. Before my warranty was verified, I was quoted $928 for the new radio, not including labor. My MaxCare warranty covered the replacement for just a $100 deductible.

So small update. I did a factory reset and it only glitched out once since then. Knock on wood that it's fixed.

Update on mine. I went to the dealer and they couldn't get it to update. They ordered a new radio for me and it should be here in a week. Thankfully the truck is still under the 3/36. The guy at the counter said that it's a common problem.
