That’s why I said a few posts back, it’s better to have a fully chipped 21 if you can search one out vs a 22….

Defeaturing of the 2022 GM full size SUVs makes it worth it to wait for the refreshed 2022 Ford Expedition. It seems that GM is defeaturing and Ford is maintaining most features but just adding additional time for delivery. If I do buy an SUV in 2022, it would be an extra vehicle so I'm willing to wait for a later delivery than I am to settled for a defeatured vehicle at no real savings.

Then what is HD radio?

Then what is HD radio?

Its the ability of the head unit to interpret and display song titles, station information and even weather in a "3rd leg" channel while listening to AM/FM. Its pretty valuable if you listen to AM/FM.....

So that ability is something different called “RDS” and should not be affected.

HD radio is the receiving of over the air digital radio. It’s analogous to over the air HD TV.

Stations are allocated a certain frequency and there is “room” on the sides of their allocated spectrum to fit compressed digital signals. Often they will broadcast a digital version of the analog signal along with additional content on other “sub” channels. You can access these channels eg .1,.2,etc.

Sometimes when you’re on the fringe of the digital coverage you’ll notice that your radio will switch between the two. Personally, I find that annoying.

 

[Stbentoak]

Actually we are both right.... And I quote...

By broadcasting digitally over traditional radio waves, a single frequency is now capable of delivering up to four stations of content in crystal clear sound. All you do is tune in to your favorite station and your HD Radio receiver will automatically lock in to the HD1 signal for that station. One notch over on the dial and you’re listening to entirely new content on the HD2 station. Additionally the digital signal provides on-screen information such as: album art, song info, traffic and weather.

So without it, you are losing some basic and nice features if you happen to still listen to AM/FM. I can't believe it needs a dedicated chip just to run this....

The refresh will be released in a few days, on the 21st.

There is a countdown timer for the new Sierra. I don't see anything about the Yukon.

You are right and I was wrong, was thinking about the Sierras. I don't think the wagons will see an interior update for at least 2-3 years if at all depending on the economy. Many of the updates for the GMT900s were shelved due to the poor economy when they were in production.

It can be a bit confusing. I have a 22 Denali on order with the premium package but the power sliding console is listed separately as standard equipment. I also believe reverse automatic breaking is new for 22 as well a dedicated hard camera button so you don't have to click through the infotainment screen to bring the cameras up. In addition, the trailering package has some tweaks.

I have a 22 on order too for over a month now and I have contacted the salesperson a few times for an order number and gotten nothing. Do you already have an order number and so you know that status? I was told 6-9 weeks but I just don’t see that happening. Do you have any advice? I would really appreciate it

That is correct. I was given my order number the minute the dealer took my order back in September. Now that it is produced (I had TPW of 10/11 and confirmed it was built), I was given the VIN by GMC using the chat function of the website. If your dealer actually took the order, they should be able to give you the order number without a problem. As a word of caution, just because a dealer takes your order, it doesn’t mean they have allocation with GM to actually place the order. You need to have another conversation with the dealer and figure out what is going on.

I placed my order for a 22 Tahoe on 10/1 and got a build date of 11/9 from my dealer last week.

 

[Eusibius2]

@Moben I'm jealous. I went to a dealer on Oct 5 and put a deposit down for a '22 Tahoe in hopes they would have allocation. They do not. I'm still waiting for mine to get placed with GM. Where about in the world are you?

You think it will be possible to update the 2021 infotainment software to match the 2022 models? It looks like the 2022's will have the same displays, so wondering if an over the air update would be possible...

Did they bring HD radios back to the 2022 Yukon Denali?
