radio not working properly

The infotainment system quit working. The screen says "Waiting for Update Media", but it never updates. It runs for 20 minutes and then the screen goes black. It tries to update again for 20 minutes, but never updates and then the screen goes black. Obviously we have no Navigation, Bluetooth, Radio controls, Front or Back up Cameras. This is very dangerous, especially when we have no cameras. We stopped at Earnhardt GMC in Mesa Arizona. They didn't even come out to look at the vehicle. He just said "You need a new radio". We have called GMC customer service and tried resetting the system as per their instructions to no avail. This is very frustrating as no one seems to be able or willing to help us with this issue.

Acadia Denali 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles

CarPlay won't connect or disconnects after 20 minutes. Bluetooth only connects some of the time if you decide not to try CarPlay. Lots of eyes off the road trying to figure out what is wrong. Sometimes the only thing you can do is pull over and restart the car. Extremely frustrating. I called the dealership right after I purchased it and they said there was nothing they could do. I've had it in the shop twice after that.

Once I get 15 miles out of Quincy, I have very bad reception. The car needs an outside antenna.
