Learn how to update the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system on a 2019 Silverado 1500 with this step-by-step guide for a seamless upgrade experience.

 

Step 1: Check for Update Availability

 

  • Before you start, ensure your vehicle is parked, the ignition is turned on, and the Infotainment system is powered up.
  • Connect your vehicle to a strong and stable Wi-Fi network. This is essential for downloading updates, which could be quite large.
  • Navigate to the "Settings" menu on your Infotainment 3 system.
  • Select "System" or "Software Information" to check if a new update is available.

 

Step 2: Backup Important Data

 

  • If you have customized settings, saved routes, or other important data in your Infotainment system, it's wise to note them down or back them up if possible.
  • This can help you reconfigure your system quickly after the update, should any settings be reset.

 

Step 3: Download the Update

 

  • Once you've confirmed that an update is available, start the download process.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the download.
    • Ensure your vehicle remains connected to Wi-Fi throughout the download process.
    • The download may take several minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the update and your internet speed.

 

Step 4: Verify Download

 

  • After the download is complete, verify that the update file is fully downloaded. The Infotainment system should prompt you with a verification message.
  • Do not turn off the vehicle or disconnect from Wi-Fi until this step is complete.

 

Step 5: Install the Update

 

  • Once the download is verified, you'll be prompted to start the installation.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to initiate the installation process.
    • The installation may take several minutes, during which the system might reboot multiple times.
    • Do not turn off your vehicle or the Infotainment system during installation.

 

Step 6: Restart the System

 

  • After the update is installed, the system will automatically reboot.
  • Verify that the system has restarted successfully and is functioning correctly with the new update.

 

Step 7: Reconfigure Settings

 

  • Once the system is up and running, reconfigure any personalized settings you backed up before the update.
  • Check to ensure that all functionalities are working as expected.

 

Step 8: Confirm Update Installation

 

  • Finally, go back to the "Settings" menu and navigate to "System" or "Software Information" to confirm that the update was successfully installed.
  • Make a note of the new software version for your records.
