2025 Escalade IQ on star connectivity issue
Pretty disheartening that I would spend over $150k on a vehicle that is already having issues within a few weeks of ownership. Vehicle won’t connect to instant and dealership is stating module needs replacing. Dealership isn’t sure when module will be available and may be months. Why would Cadillac not thoroughly test their products before release and after release have parts readily available? Would recommend anyone thinking of an Escalade iq purchase to reconsider and stay away.

I had the same problem and it was escalated to a level 3 OnStar rep. Doing my own research I held the end call button down on the steering wheel which reset my dash(do not press anything on the screen just let it reset on its own) as soon as everything restarted my internet connection worked fine. Not sure why no one from OnStar would suggest this but it worked for me. Good luck with everything

I was having multiple issues with car. Google assistant was offline most of the time, Super Cruise not working at all, all apps including Spotify not loading data and not working. After multiple unsuccessful attempts at Dealership the Telematic module was replaced.
At this point apps are working, Google assistant is online most of the time but not all the time and SuperCruise is working also most of the time. Currently remote app start and preconditioning not working, Emergency Service call messages intermittently show in dashboard and car is not uploading and installing software updates.
Crazy how much time I have spent in fixing a brands new very expensive vehicle.

I have a 2025 Equinox and having the same issues, I contacted OnStar still having issues, a ticket was open and still no help

Having the same exact problems and can’t find anyone who cares to fix it including the dealership. The software update ruined a perfectly good car experience. Guess I will research the part you mentioned and see if I can do the repair myself.

I have a 2018 Chevy Traverse that has sat at the dealership for 21 days working with Gm TAC & ONSTAR TAC level 3 case to no avail. Replaced 2 modules even though they found no error codes with original module and still won’t connect with OnStar. The blue button works and we can speak with advisors. They cannot call into the car though. The app doesn’t recognize the car and the car remains in demo mode even though they acknowledge we have an account and it has been verified, and they have tried to reconfigure the new modules each time. App has been deleted and reinstalled and accounts deleted and reinstalled and policies acknowledged and accepted repeatedly. Day 22 and still no answers. Supervisors don’t understand the case and seem uninformed and unconcerned that we are now going on 22 days of this. Anyone out there want to chime in and help?
