Well that was F'ed up. Drove 40 miles where I bought my car to get the update. All my info was still there. When I got home I checked what version I had and it's 13.4.0. Not 14.1.0. Called and I heard the tech in back ground saying that he could not update it cause GM had a glitch or some crap. Would have been better to have said it did not work than have me look into it.
That's all sorts of annoying. I would change dealerships based off of something like that. If they can't do it, at least tell you they couldn't do it. Why lie about it?
Took car to other dealer and got update. The first guy is sending me emails and someone from the dealership call the house and left message like everything is wonderful. Have a call into GM filling a complaint about the first dealership.
It sucks that we have to go to the dealership to get it! We should be able to download it at home and do it ourselves. Sounds like GM is trying to throw the dealerships a bone for maintenance losses on EVs. I'm sure updating software is billable.
Yep, update for bug fixes. I had it done and now have 14.1.0.
There is a setting to download software updates in the background, so we know GM planned for OTA updates. Maybe "added feature" updates will get pushed out OTA, while bug fixes will still require dealer visits?
I think they've also introduced a couple of new bugs. One example: before the update, my scheduled overnight charge always completed at the scheduled time, give or take 5 minutes. Since the update, charging is always incomplete when I leave for my commute - I estimate it would complete about half an hour after the scheduled time.
I expect I can adjust departure time settings to correct for this, but it seems like an odd error to introduce. I would not have expected charging to be affected at all, figured the software update applied mainly to the infotainment features.
Has anyone else noticed a change in charging results?
Why isn't this update happening over-the-air? How will they compete with Tesla who updates almost monthly. Going to the dealer for a service is nutzo and will quickly consume any margin GM had on this call. I bet this means updates will be very infrequent with no hope of new feature sets.
Hello GM, last century calling, you should do OTA updates to your electronics.
2017 Tesla Model S 60 gets 228 miles per charge. Lease $1,005 /mo. 36 month lease with 10,000 miles per year $6,700 due at signing
$82,500 cash price before EV incentives.
$82,500 - $37,495 = $45,005
For $45,005 I would expect OTA updates. For an entry level mass produced to be more affordable EV, not so much.

I suspect GM is just still testing the OTA update mechanism and isn't ready to make use of it quite yet for customer cars. I was told by a GM manager a couple of months ago that some Bolt EVs driven by GM employees are already getting OTA updates.
I also remember reading somewhere that OTA software updates would only be done for non-safety system related updates. I'm assuming this is just because they don't want a problem or issue with a safety system failing because it didn't update correctly.
It has not moved. It's in the same place it was, when you activated it originally.
Go to the Energy screen and select energy settings. You'll see it on the list.
For what it's worth, the latest version of MyChevrolet app has keypass functionality enabled. This time I was able to get it working right away. Now if they would just add climate control settings and maybe target charge level, I'd be happy.
2019 Bolt LT is great and works seamlessly with my iPhone. My wife’s Motorola One Action with Android 10 pairs fine through Bluetooth phone settings but will not pair with Keypass.
We’ve tried it multiple times with minor differences in when it fails.
We’ve reset all private settings and paired...
Just brought my 2017 Premier in for the 14.5 radio update and the Battery update where they reprogram the power control module, all I can say is don't do it. I usually drive very leisurely with my Bolt, local driving where it regenerates at get about 4.2 miles per KW. Going to the dealer using...
Now that Onstar is ending complementary phone keyfob support and pissing off virtually every app user out there, does anybody have any information or ideas on what CAN bus commands would need to be issued to remote start and unlock the car? Should we look to OwnStar?
You see where I'm going...
