Hey everyone, I currently have a Silverado but I was looking at getting a newer (to me) Tahoe. I’ve been trying to research the years they had the SD card slot for music but haven’t been able to find much. Does anyone know the last year they stopped using it ?

 

This is all I was able to find on it.

The Chevrolet Tahoe had a factory-installed SD card slot for media, including music, for several model years.

Based on the available information, the Tahoe models most likely to have an SD card slot for music are from the Fourth Generation (2015-2020) and the Fifth Generation (2021 model year).

2015-2020 (Fourth Generation): There is evidence of an SD card reader being a feature on models in this generation. The SD card slot in a related vehicle (2015 Chevy Silverado) was used for music, and accessories were sold to relocate the factory SD card reader for 2015+ Tahoes.

2021 (Fifth Generation): The 2021 Tahoe catalog specifically mentions an "SD card reader in center console" as a feature.

2022 and newer: It appears that for the 2022 model year, when the infotainment system switched to an Android/Google interface, features like USB and SD card playback for video (and likely music/media) were removed or not initially included.

In summary, you are most likely to find a factory SD card slot for music playback on Chevy Tahoes from the 2015 to 2021 model years. Keep in mind that for newer models (2022+), the slot, if present, is generally reserved for navigation map data and is not used for personal media like music.
