2023 Chevy Colorado Instrument Cluster tips and tricks

[@WeFergie]

The pilot in me likes the "glass cockpit" approach. Spent lots of time foolin' around with the cluster on my WT to get it just right. I understand why some would want transmission and oil temps on a truck but it would be nice if one could configure those bar gauges for volts or oil pressure. Sure you can pull those up in an info window, but still... Speaking of the glass cockpit, the vertical bar graphs came from aviation. The idea is that high readings are at the top and low, well duh, with normal being in the middle. The actual values, here trans, oil, and water temps aren't not critical as long as the "needle" is in the middle of the graph. I really like the clean modern look of the Colorado dash layout.

Ya me too, I’m enjoying it. Interesting all the 24’s are getting a full 11” digital cockpit now

I just got my Colorado Trail Boss, yesterday. I love the styling and stance. I think it beats the next Gen Tacoma, and its not even out yet. I HATE the electronic cluster. Id rather have REAL gauges, with LARGE RED DIALS.... 1-120 MPH Speedmeter... RED NEEDLE at the 12:00 position means 60MPH. Easy... REAL GAS GAUGE with LARGE RED NEEDLE... those bar graphs are difficult to real... "AT A GLANCE" Radio, Id like two buttons, column and tuning. Please.. and another thing.. as Im adjusting the volume, I dont need 20% of my screen area BLOCKED OUT with a 'popup' display BAR GRAPH of the column going up or down.. I have ears.. I can hear what Im doing. So, delete the dumb things mention and give me instead.... Right side blindspot camera... Like my 2013 Honda Accord had... Give me a REAL headlight switch on a turn signal stalk is possible. Give me telescopic steering wheel, give me a garage door opener button on the over head console. Deleting the electronic cluster can get me everything Id rather have.

I hear ya. A few gripes for sure, but overall a great package for the $$

Is there a way to see turbo boost on the screen?

[@NicolasWiens]

No, there’s no way to see the turbo boost. I’m about to install a vacuum and boost gauge on my 23 Colorado. I’ve already installed a blow valve and a few other things.

I haven’t figured out the follow warning and lane change feature. I can change the tailgate from 1, 2 or 3 car lengths but it doesn’t do braking like my Toyota. I can’t get the lane change to work at all. How do you turn these on?

[@matthewxedge7]

Anyone know how to turn off the Sirius xm radio subscription ad? It’s so annoying.

[@XavierFunklestien]

i called them and canceled

[@-Tecky-]

How was the lane Jeep assist? I don’t see good videos on it. Is the lane keep just makes you Ping Pong in the lane or is it like Toyotas and ford where it will actually center you in the lane

[@ringnjc]

It’s decent but still ping pongs a bit. Def doesn’t keep u centered like a Tesla on autopilot, and you need well painted lines. But it’s enough to keep you more relaxed on a highway drive. I am having issues with the adaptive cruise though, taking it to dealer tomorrow it almost never activates and errors with temporarily unavailable.

[@bigd2256]

Toyota ping pongs you around too. I hate that feature

[@NicolasWiens]

If it’s brightly colored paint on the lines, then it will stay in the center. But if they’re barely visible, it will ping-pong.

[@josefpitzer8177]

Does anyone know, how to reset the speed limit sign? Like mine use to work now it doesnt show the speed limit it’s kinda like two dash marks inside that box, do I just need to cycle it or is it more of an issue than that?

[@matthewlopez2050]

Not 100% sure but I saw in some facebook groups saying that if your onstar package thing expires, it won't give you the speed limits anymore. I believe some people get a couple months free of onstar with the purchase of the truck and then after it expires it disappears.

[@josefpitzer8177]

@@matthewlopez2050 I have the onstar thing, I was just wondering if you have to have a higher package

[@jeffbetts6724]

I logged into my google account and the speed limit sign stopped working. Logged out and it started working again.

[@josephd27]

I'm gonna have to turn on my speed limit icon

[@ringnjc]

Something I realized if you don’t pay for the Onstar connected plan the built in Google Maps along with the speed limit indicator go bye bye, welcome to subscription hell!!! Automakers are gonna try to make everything require subscriptions

[@bigd2256]

@@ringnjcoh man that’s why it’s not working on my truck then. I was wondering why it wasn’t showing up. So I’ll have to pay for the OnStar crap..

[@ringnjc]

So, if you connect your truck to your home wifi assuming it reaches your garage it will keep the Google maps updated and the speed limit indicator came back. Give it a shot

[@diver165]

LOL The irony.... You're leaning over the center screen, diving deep into the settings menu, videoing with your phone (you can see the reflection on the screen), while you're driving on the interstate. All of this to show a speed limit indicator that you're not paying attention to anyway because you're doing 78 in a 70mph 02:46 LOL!!!!

[@ringnjc]

Point taken, haha. I did have the ACC and lane keep on. Pretty straight road. Don’t mistake the camera view as what I’m seeing, I occasionally glance over to hit a setting. Regardless, definitely alot of distractions in cars nowadays.
