Condition
Note
For the model year vehicles mentioned above, the "Directions and Connections" service package will allow the driver to request directions from OnStar(R).
Vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) and a navigation radio may experience intermittent failure to download directions to the navigation radio. Customers will call OnStar(R) for directions, OnStar(R) will download the destination to the vehicle and the customer will hear "Your destination is being sent to your vehicle. When safe and appropriate, press the Go button and follow instructions on your navigation screen to begin your route." However, the customer may not see the Go button, or the Go button on the navigation screen may be unresponsive, and therefore unable to be pressed in order to start the directions.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- The navigation disc is not inserted in the radio. Some radios may display a message that states that the map disc must be inserted for destination download.
- An OnStar(R) (VCIM) module software anomaly. The OnStar(R) destination download does not complete communicating to the navigation radio within a certain time frame.
- A navigation radio software anomaly. This applies to 2008-2009 CTS and CTS-V vehicles with RPO UAV.
Correction
Important
DO NOT replace the navigation radio for any of these conditions.
- If the navigation disc is not installed, insert the navigation disc and test the operation of the system.
- For 2008-2009 CTS and CTS-V vehicles with RPO UAV, update the navigation radio software. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-08-44-019A.
- For all other vehicles, an updated OnStar(R) VCIM is now available. Replace the OnStar(R) VCIM. Refer to OnStar(R) Module VCIM Replacement in SI.
