I'm so frustrated with how inconsistent my Silverado infotainment system is with text messages. Sometimes I get a preview, other times just the number, and sometimes no sender information at all. It's really annoying having to guess if it's important.

These options all capture the owner's frustration with the inconsistent text message display and clearly state their desire for a more reliable system. Is there any way to make it always show the sender's name and a text preview?

It is not inconsistent. It is just based on what is your driving status. If you are at a red light, you get a preview of the message. If you are in the middle of driving, you won't get one. The infotainment system is smart and thinks about your safety. That's all. :D

Yes, it is part of "we won't let the drivers be distracted in any way". 😅
 
Did you try resetting the infotainment system or checking if there are any available software updates for your Silverado? That might help with the display inconsistency.

Yeah, I've seen that kind of thing in other cars too. For example in the Bolt, the cameras cut off once you hit about 8 kph, and video on the infotainment system is totally disabled. It makes sense, right? They're all about safety, making sure the driver keeps their eyes on the road instead of getting distracted.
