Lill blu sparky 9 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I called my dealer like a week and a half ago and they hadn't heard anything about this so I'm still waiting. Don't want them experimenting on my car! Link to post Share on other sites
bluer101 241 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Just to let people know there is an iPhone update for the Bringgo app in the App Store. It says iPhone 5 support and bug fixes. Link to post Share on other sites
Marklaz 1 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Is the Sonic another GM Korea vehicle? Not sure if you guys remember what I went through to get the optional fog light kit programmed, but it took Chevy USA calling Korea, and then several engineers to find the update and send it to the USA. It took much longer for other dealers to get the update because there was another person in a different area that couldn't get her car programmed.Basically a case of "the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing". My Sonic was made in the US. Link to post Share on other sites
bluer101 241 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I was at my dealer again tonight and they just got a memo and video. They have to upgrade all inventory on the lot. They said that after they do a few of them they will do mine. Link to post Share on other sites
Lill blu sparky 9 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm getting impatient, I want this update! I'm going to talk to my dealer again and see if they have more info. Link to post Share on other sites
jibb3r 29 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I got the update done last Friday. Took them 90 minutes to get the keys back to me. The service guy explained (everything I already read in this thread) there will be two new application icons blah blah... and he's never seen this update before... awesome. Anyway, is anyone else still having the issue of XM starting at channel 1? Mine seems to do it even more now, than before the update. It's not a huge deal, I was just curious. I don't plan to pay $20 a month for XM after the 90 day trial anyway. Pandora is free. Link to post Share on other sites
Smikster 10 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 update also brings us the option to finally change the number of stored stations from 1-7 pages under radio settions Link to post Share on other sites
Lazerface 24 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 if you want it, there's absolutely no reason to pay more than $5/mo for sirius just let it lapse, and they will be calling you/mailing you with special offers. its $30 for 6 mos. Link to post Share on other sites
leonard26 5 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) So my radio stopped working about 4 weeks ago, it took the dealer 3 weeks to get a new one in.. they installed it and it was all updated with the new firmware. I tried teh BringGo app and to my supprise it worked great. So happy!!! the only problem is when they installed my radio they damaged my dash aroun the radio so now they are ordering a new dash for me, lord only knows how long that will take to come in. Here is a photo of my radio with BringGo running. Edited March 28, 2013 by leonard26 Link to post Share on other sites
Phil_Can 2 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I want to get the update for my car, but I'm not sure if I should. The reason being that my XM radio has not shut off and I have had my car for about 7 months now. If they update my car, then I am afraid I will lose my XM. I do really want the bringgo in my car tho.

Lill blu sparky 9 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Got my update today, had to talk to a tec and show him this tread to get him to find the info but all is good now! Love the Siri intigration, working really good so far and got the bringGo app to try it out. Link to post Share on other sites
TheMission 8 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm just bummed they have such limited android support. Both my Razr Maxx and htc dna don't have bringgo support. Smikster 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TheMission 8 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I just scheduled the update for my Spark for Saturday. I gave them the service bulletin id, so I hope it goes smoothly.... Link to post Share on other sites
thecrowtv 8 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I guess you know when you are due for a phone upgrade you better join team iphone! i was in portland a few weeks ago I always stop at burgerville and voodoo donut. Link to post Share on other sites
bluer101 241 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I saw my dealer last night and played with the Bringgo in a new arrived Spark. It is very nice to say the least. My sales person called me today to tell me they attempted a upgrade on Saturday and ran into problems. This is what the service manager told him. So I'm still waiting to get mine updated. I mean how hard can this really be? Do they not read all instructions and download the correct files. We're also suppose to let these people service our cars, I don't think so.

Greg_E 211 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 A lot of it is GM's fault, and some might be the dealership. There are certain tools that need to be used on the newer cars, but you can almost do it with the older tools. And GM may not have given them all the files, I know most of us think about this like the internet where you just go to a server and download all the files, the dealers don't work like that, especially Mercedes which is incredibly tyrannical about update files. In this day and age we should be able to plug an Ethernet cable or wifi dongle into our cars, and let the car download any updates just like we do for phones and computers.

I work a block away from VooDoo... I sure hope it goes well. I'm dropping it off at 9AM on Saturday and hoping to pick it up around 2PM, so they have plenty of time to figure it out.

I tried out the BringGo nav on my way to work on tues and I really like the lane assist thing and I liked most everything else but the traffic didn't seem to work, I hit a lot of traffic and never got a warning or any notice of traffic.

cedricxie 0 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I think the red T means the traffic info. is not downloaded yet. Maybe you can try logging off and logging in again in your app to see if traffic info. is working correctly, which will show a greed T on the screen. Link to post Share on other sites
TheMission 8 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Dealer didn't know anything about the update and couldn't pull it up by Vin. It is now PI0914D. They agreed to do it, but are now having "problems" getting it to update... Bringgo finally updated support for the navigation app today, but still no support for the DNA.

Wow that sucks, my sales person is still trying to get the service department to update their current inventory. He said once they have done a few without any issues then they will do mine. It's still pretty crazy that this far along and most dealers have no idea what to do. djp 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TheMission 8 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 They bricked it... So, back Monday for a loaner and them to try with infotainment support help. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I pointed this out to the next dealer on my list to try working on my car, and they said they have been doing many of them already, sounds like they are on top of getting the updates. I think a lot of the issue is that many dealers just don't want to deal with this car so they don't spend much time trying to get the software. Might be worth looking around at other nearby dealers to see who is ready to work on these machines and really wants to work on them. Link to post Share on other sites

TheMission 8 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 They stated that during the update something failed and the radio ceased to work. I think they pulled the fuse, cause it doesn't even power on now. They said they would consult GM support on Monday and may have to replace my radio. They better not screw up my dash if they do. I could have left the car with them, but I already set up with my tinting friend to do the car tomorrow, so I'm just driving it without the radio till Monday and then they can have at it.
