2010 Equinox USB Port

remmy4 · 07-11-2009, 05:12 PM

Has anyone heard why these are not being put in the 2LT or the 1LT with the upgrade. I have test driven 2 of them and neither has had the USB port in it. One dealer I spoke with said that they were not putting them in any of the 2LT or 1LT with the upgrade. I am getting ready to buy one and want to know if they will have them in the future. Thanks.

They should be in the center console...

I have looked in the center console on both models and only the aux jack and the power jack have been in there.

It's an available option for $495.

Where did you find that? I can only find it listed on the DVD or Nav upgrade.

It's on the Equinox builder on the Chevy website. Vehicle Interface Package or whatnot.

I got the 2LT with the PCU (Drivers interface package) option. The USB connection was not included. I got a call from GM (not the dealer) that said they would reimburse me $75 if I did not want it. I told them I wanted to talk to the dealer to see what was involved with getting it installed.

Thought I was going blind, I couldn't find it. I was building a 2LT, which is what I ordered. Then I checked the 1LT and the option was listed there. I would assume it was included on the 2LT, but looks like it isn't. The bluetooth says it is.

I spoke with a dealer today, all the 2010's are coming without it, at least in our area. No explination as to why. He even asked whom ever they call for getting one built and was told they are not being put in. They did not give any indication as to if it will even be put in later. Too bad I was looking forward to it.

Well that stinks.

I have been in touch with a GM person about having the USB port installed. I even have a case number assigned to the issue. I was told that the parts will not be available until the last week of August and that I should make an appointment the first week of September to have it installed. The reason she gave for the delay was because it was a new redesigned model. I have the 2LT with the PCU option that was supposed to have it included. Only has the jack for MP3 players. I had the option of opting out for $75, but I said I wanted the USB.

So if you do want the USB port, you can have it installed after delivery?

My question is, if it comes standard in an LTZ (I've seen it and used it during a test drive), why isn't it being put on a 2LT? It's not like the parts aren't lying around.

I ordered a 2LT and something this small is actually a big deal to me.

GM Canada just updated their website so you can build a 2010 Nox. The 2LT radio descriptions shows this with the default radio:

Radio: AM/FM Stereo w/CD-ROM/MP3 Playback/USB Port

The GM rep talked to the dealership service manager and I have an appointment for September 1st. I don't know if you can have it installed if it wasn't part of a package you ordered. In my case I purchased the vehicle and it was supposed to be included with the options I got. GM must have done some type of quality control, because they contacted me about the issue. The dealer didn't notice it. Just have to wait for the parts to be available.
