2013 ZL1 console errors (radio no sound and fan speed display) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

austin_ntx · 10-10-2013, 02:23 PM

I got a new ZL1 august 3rd

- and have had a pretty consistent fan speed display error in the dash console (my link), the fan does work properly.
i uploaded a video (forgive the quality... if you can)

- the worse error is the radio working but not having any sound.
two seperate times in the last three days, i have started the car and all the displays work but no sound comes out.
Turning radio on and off, turning car on and off, or switching to bluetooth does not cause sound to start working from the radio,
it comes back after several hours of bieng parked (just happen to park that long before trying agin).
i uploaded a video (ahh forgiveness...)

it is currently at the dealership, anyone else come across this?

Mine has the fan issue and also sometimes my backup camera does not work. Hope GM has an update to fix. It would be nice for them to fix the bugs.

I have the same issue with the fan display but I figure as long as the A/C works I can deal with the #'s being out of whack. My only issue with the radio is it doesn't always recognize my iPod.

Same fan speed issue, but also no big deal since it actually does change. Sometimes the radio will jump to iPod when I start the car. Both a little annoying, but not major. Let us know what turnout.

same issue with the fan...and i can deal with it bc i really don't wanna go to the dealer.....and when i turn the key with out starting the car and wait few second(7-10sec) to let the PC read everythink then everythink seens to work properly...if i star the car with out waiting then i got the fan issue.....

austin_ntx · 10-10-2013, 07:24 PM

cool, agreed the display of numbers not a big deal.
having no radio, and not being able to restart it is the tougher one.

heard back from dealership, and they say there is a "bullitien" they found and they are waiting for a software release to address the issues.

and yeah leaving it at the dealership after only two months was the toughest because i have a 2002 montero sport that i drove for the day instead... and it was like driving a schoolbus!

Throw the car away (I'll buy it for .50 on the dollar)!

From what I understand this is a common complaint with the MyLink radios in all 2013 Camaros. Do you know if there is a GM "bulletin"? If so can you post on this thread so those with issues can provide it to their dealers. It would be even better if we had the fix information too.

My 2010 radio had issues and the update info was provided on this site. (This was in 2009 when the car was new and my dealer had limited exposure to them) My dealer was able to quickly update my car because I provided them with all the needed info.... they had no idea until I gave it to them.

Same here. Plus trying to navigate through my iPod is SSSLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!
It takes me about 5 minutes to select a playlist and go back and activate shuffle AGAIN.
