Chevrolet Colorado stock radio and GPS malfunction with erratic channel switching and GPS movement on Chevrolet Colorado

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Colorado owners report experiencing issues with the stock radio and GPS, including erratic channel switching and unpredictable GPS movement. These problems may stem from common causes such as a blown fuse, loose or corroded wiring, or malfunctions within the radio unit itself. Reports indicate that some radios randomly change views, stations, and media sources, sometimes even playing before the key is inserted. Additionally, newer models like the 2022 Chevy Colorado have been noted for their infotainment systems cutting off and on unexpectedly. Although GPS movement issues are less commonly documented, they could be related to the same underlying problems affecting the radio. To address these concerns, owners are advised to check for blown fuses and loose connections, perform factory resets or touchscreen calibrations, and consider upgrading to aftermarket radio models or additional audio equipment if necessary.
