It just happened to me today (Canyon Denali 2024). Good news I found this video, bad news it is going to be difficult to explain to the dealership mechanics what I just found on youtube because I’m in Mexico. Hopefully they can do the update. Otherwise, do you know guys where we can download the software patch ?

Got the V-6 in 2022 Canyon. I had a bad gut feeling at the time not to buy the 2023 model, besides no V-6 engines. But just read the past week the 2025 Ford Ranger is finally bringing back their V-6 engines in the Ranger, according to what I just recently read.

Thanks for this! My bed lights were installed by the dealership (the truck was ordered by another customer who decided he didn't want it when it arrived.) Nobody at the dealership showed me how those lights worked. I was actually going to take it in to see why the lights didn't work. There's nowhere in the owners manual that explains how the bed lights work.

Have the 2022 Canyon. See some similarities' in some ways on some of the things.

Thank you for the video, made it easy to find a good place to power mine up. I used some Amazon ones and an existing bed hole that fit my switch perfectly.. Gonna look for a tailgate type switch to replace the supplied switch, so when I open tailgate it turns on the lights. Just don't wanna forget one day and kill my battery..

I had no real problems with my 23 Colorado as yet. I had the instrument Panel go blank (speedometer and etc.) on startup. But, I figured it was a temporary computer glitch, and that's exactly what it was a Glitch. After having the truck for a year, I'm a low mileage driver, I had the oil changed and tires rotated. At that time, they cleared two recalls at the same time: Fuel distribution update, and the front camera recalibrations for the auto braking. LED lighting upgrades are NOT RECOMMENDED is what the service desk guy told me. I installed the rear turn signals and brake red LEDs, but when applying the brakes that really affect the battery charging system when driving and apply the brakes. So, I switchback to Halogens in those lamp sockets, but kept the backup LEDs. Those really helped me back in and out of my 100' driveway at nights. I live on the last residential street near the woods, and we have no street lights. Its like backing always into my driveway during daylight hours. Wow! Once a year I'm having the Chevy Dealership apply Poly Steel protective coating to my truck's paint job. I'm a 76 yo dude that prefers 'letting out' some of my chores to other people these days.

Do these shut off after a while, or will they run down the battery if you forget to turn them off?

why is all this computer crap needed anyway? can we go back to simplicity?

I keep a minimum of two older vehicles in hand just in case. You never know!

good job, Alex - just got 2024 canyon elevation - I'd like to add a black oak light bar - you mentioned the AUX switch - how do I connect the light bar to that switch - normally with Black Oak light bar - I would connect ground wire underwood somewhere, then connect + wire to somewhere in fuse box - please advise

I’d say my main complaint with my Colorado is the amount of interior plastic that scratches up fairly easily.

I have posted the question on other video's never get an answer. Just the ceramic coat, will it protect my paint from desert pinstripes? I am a avid off roader living in the desert. I just picked up a 2024 ZR2, beautiful truck in Glacier Blue. I don't want to mess up the paint.

Is there a way to turn the bass up on the speaker besides the head unit display

I don't like the concept of over-the-air updates. Fortunately, my 2016 Colorado does not have that capability. It's more like a truck and less like a computer. I wonder if putting your truck in transport mode will prevent it from trying to update.

And I finally thought the 2024 Canyon was the tallest midget in the room - that the 4 cylinder turbo motor had been updated and the problems were gone. I give up on GM. The lifter issue had already wiped out all the V8 models. Toyota is dead in the water with blown engines on the Tundra. Ford is hot garbage and Stellantis will likely put Ram out of business as the quality is already in a tailspin. Only thing I am comfortable with at this point is a 2018-2021 Tundra or a Frontier. If GM screwed up this data push it just means they will screw it up again, and again. Look at the thousands of vehicle failures from transmission or lifter problems - and they are still using a near identical lifter - no change. And the worst of the worst is the DCT in the Vette. I know one that is on transmission #7 with 20K miles. Sounds impossible but it's not. I think I just read about a recall on the first two model years DCT and this happened to be a year one C8. Covid and post Covid vehicle quality is a brain bender. Great info BTW. Enjoyed the video and I really lke the styling of the Canyon.

I am less than excited about the vehicle manufacturer being able to communicate with my vehicle without my know. Today it is over the air updates, tomorrow they shut your vehicle off because you are driving too much or going someplace they don’t want you to go. You should be able to opt in or out of this program.

Complete trash 🚮

Hi Alex what is the sound quality of Bose on these trucks? Without the subwoofer ? Is it good ?

Yes it happened to me

Anyone know if a 2022 kicker box will kit in a 2016 z71 ?

Any feedback issues with the Bose or the speed related volume increase and decrease messing with it?

Lol........gm junk.......wait til the 2.7 engines fail in less than 100k..........lol

There is way too much dependence on technology. GM junk.

What i heard was…. Dead Man battery disconnect switch.

Why no info on the expel when asked where you bought it ? Link would be great. Thx

Speed sign requires the connectivity subscription or tethered through your mobile device

Guess you dont controll your truck ,gm does SCARY !!

New tech is so convenient. NOT...

Fantastic video, thanks!!

Also can you tell us what each of the fluids are in the engine compartment and we're there at thanks

Thanks buddy now can you tell us how to change between km and mph I accidentally got stuck in km and don't know how to change back

What a mess

2023 ZR2 no problems… Knock On Wood!

Is there a way to stop the updates? I don’t want any nerds updating my vehicle thinking it’s in my best interest.

By any chance you know hot to disable the auto stop completely. Mine keeps turning it on every time I turn my truck on. I looks that that button or option has no memory to stay off. Like other buttons

Just bought a new Canyon and want this done. Are there any installers in NH or MA

Imagine a world where DHS can instruct GM to issue an OTA update implementing a statewide "cylinder deactivation" for national "health security" reasons? What a world we have voted for!

Will the rock sliders from a 24 ZR2 Colorado fit older model colorados?

My question is you do PPF on the front and then get ceramic. They do a paint correction before ceramic but isn’t there PPF on some of the paint on front? Can’t do paint correction once PPF is applied. Just trying to figure out how it all works.

man...I wanted a Colorado!

My next truck will be a Toyota. I am done with GM

Thanks buddy!

It is a GM. Poorly designed, poorly made and nitwits writing the software. I have owned 4 GM's in my life. All junk. Learned my lesson and will never own another one. FJB

Any compartments that might not be outright visible?

So you use a jump box, start your truck and turn off automatic updates. You people make mountians out of mole hills just to get attention on social media these days and its so sad

I’ll take that tunno cover from ya if you plan on tossing it lol I’ve been looking for one of the sorts I have a 04 colorado 3.5 In-line 5 ext cab 6.3 ft bed

So GM

Is this kit backward compatible with the second gen Colorado? I have a 2020 and would like to have lights that turn on by touching the lights like these do.

So glad I have a Ford Ranger 200 + 1000 mi. No more GM for me ever

If you’re getting a blank radio or infotainment screen you can hold down the phone button on the steering wheel for about 15 seconds. This will reset your infotainment screen and usually fix electronic glitches and reconnect your phone.
