How to Get OTA Software Updates on Your GMC Vehicle

Since 2017, select GMC models have been able to utilize over-the-air (OTA) software updates. A feature that helps GMC owners keep their vehicles up to date with the latest innovations from the brand’s R&D department. If you’re a GMC owner or considering a GMC model as your next vehicle purchase, here is how you can use OTA software updates to elevate your ownership experience.

What Are OTA Updates?

First, let's get a firm grasp of what OTA software updates are. In the past, any upgrades to your vehicle usually required a visit to the dealership service center and a few new components. With OTA updates, neither is required. All you need is a solid internet connection, and you’ll be able to download software updates to your vehicle while sitting in your garage or driveway. With OTA, as long as your vehicle has the necessary hardware, you can download new safety and driver assistance features, infotainment upgrades, GPS updates, and more. This allows GMC owners to get the most out of their GMC vehicles.

How to Download GMC Software Updates

Downloading new software updates is a simple three-step process.

• Park your vehicle in a safe and secure location and turn it on.
• Make sure you have a strong Wi-Fi Connection.
• If there are any GMC updates available, you will be notified via an infotainment center message. Accept the updates, and you can start the over-the-air installation immediately.
