Chevy Tahoe: Reset Stereo System

If your Chevy Tahoe’s sound system is bugging out, here are some guides that should resolve the issue.

2017 – 2022 Models

Modern Tahoe models come with a MyLink system that makes it simple to troubleshoot problems.

1. Turn on your vehicle.
2. Select the System tab on the touchscreen and scroll to the bottom of the menu.
3. Select Return to Factory Settings.
4. From here, you have two options: Reset Vehicle Settings and Erase Settings and Personal Data. For a full reset, use both of these options—choose one, then repeat the process for the other.
5. A warning prompt will appear for each choice. Select Erase to proceed with the resets.

2016 Models and Earlier

On older Chevy Tahoe models, there’s a much simpler method.

1. Start your car and find the OnStar buttons—they will be just under the rearview mirror or on the ceiling towards the front of your Tahoe’s interior.
2. Press the button on the left—it should look like a seated person with curved lines around their head. Once you press this button, the sound system will say, “OnStar ready.”
3. Press the button again—the sound system should say, “Thank you. Goodbye.” The sound system has reset.
