Looks like there is more info about the update if you scroll down. I think it has to do with being able to get future OTA software updates.

What year is yours? I’ll have to check on my 21 Tahoe.

If it’s a 21, hopefully it’s the V160 software version for the infotainment system. I’m hoping that fixes my turn signal noise disappearing while it’s flashing occasionally.

I never got a notice for an update but 2 days ago I started having an issue where streaming music from my phone would not play unless I had the app on the infotainment screen. If I toggled to Waze or anywhere else, the music would stop.... So Fn annoying. I wonder if this update went through in the background and I'm not experiencing a side effect.

Update completed successfully in about 5 minutes. No noticeable differences. Everything still works. Couldn’t find any release notes. And don’t see any new functionality.

Just found out (from my dealer) that the OTA update was primarily to address the issue with headlights sometimes coming in the daytime instead of the running lights. There may be other fixes as well. I’ve asked for the complete release notes, and he said he’d try to get them for me.

I was driving my '22 Tahoe over the weekend in the grocery store parking lot, car shut off while driving. Attempted to put in park and wouldnt go out of drive, got in neutral and attempted to start again and the starter ran for 15ish seconds without beginning to run. Then I was prompted to do the update. A few minutes later I was able to get the car into park and move to a space so I could do the update... Really glad I wasnt travelling at a high rate of speed or in a busy road before the vehicle just shut off by itself....

that's weird!

Our 22 mentioned to my wife that it wanted to update, so today (when it was parked in the garage) I did the update, took a few minutes, but I haven't tried driving it again yet.

So I did the OTA update this morning.
Now the system doesn't recognize voice commands!
It's one thing after another with this pos infotainment system!
Is there a way to undo the OTA?

Try resetting from the setting menu there is an option for reset that might fix it or undo the update

So, spent the morning at the dealer. When the update was performed it disconnected the truck from my google account. Signing back in fixed the problem. Apparently if you are not signed in you lose all functionality. Looks like we're totally dependent upon Google.

They also updated my radio per bulletin 22-NA-142. Researching the bulletin indicates it pertains to 1500 Sierra & Silverado, not Yukons! Stay tuned!

While I have fully embraced letting Google into my life, I have always understood that them going out of business at some point would be an inconvenience but nothing major.

Having a $70k vehicle dependent on their systems suddenly puts a very high loss to that potential event. A scary thought.

I had this issue with Spotify, I would get a "Temporary Playback issue" notice. The only way I got it to work without issue was by uninstalling Spotify from my phone. Let me know if you find a better way.

Dealer updated mine yesterday...is on Build W165 now...monochrome google assistant icon and google maps icon now, play store and podcasts still google colored.
Was seamless, didn't forget any of my account info, carplay connections, etc...This is the 3rd Infotainment System upgrade dealer has applied to my vehicle...I always ask them to check for any updates at each oil change.
(I was expecting it to be W164, as that was the latest communicated, but apparently there was a new W165 version out).

Currently at 8500 miles on the clock, my plan will be to ask for updated calibrations at every service interval until warranty is out...
