My MyLink absolutely went crazy the other day... I was sitting in a chick fil a drive through and my truck started buzzing real loud and I turned it off at the window BC it was kind of embarrassing... Upon start up again, the radio went to max volume bad and I couldn't turn it down... I had to turn off the truck again, my wife and 5 week old son had to get out BC I didn't want to hurt his ears. I restarted truck again and same results. After i got my food and pulled out of the way I had to get my tools out of the bed, disconnect the battery and upon start up the 4th time, it was normal again... The drive through was PACKED with 4 cars behind me and I had to turn the truck off and let them get out and started again and everyone was like what the hell is going on here..

I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 4.2.2 and mylink with navagation and streaming Pandora via Bluetooth is horrible, one day it will work flawlessly and the other it either won't connect or it will be playing and then it will show a problem with the connected device and quit playing altogether.

I still use my Droid X2 and it connects perfectly but WILL NOT load the phonebook into the truck. My mp3's seem to play fine from the Droid X2 and it seems as if I don't even need to start the player on the phone... Just select source and when I come to the Droid X2 it just starts playing my music.

So, I spoke with a mylink support rep regarding the USB/Bluetooth audio issue i was having (non stereo output). They requested that i take the truck into the dealership.

 

The dealer service department was able to resolve the issue by updating the mylink. Evidently, my head unit needed several updates. Looked at the manufacture date and noticed truck was built June '13-- which probably explains why it needed so many updates.

 

Crazy thing is even though it was supposedly updated, the software number is the same as before I put it in the shop. Weird.

I just got my truck a little over a week ago and i don't have any issues connecting my phone to the bluetooth and the phone calls sound great, but when streaming audio whether it be Pandora, Play Music, or just music on my phone it will skip every minute or so. Extremely annoying but i was wondering if anyone else had the same issue.

 

Phone: Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4

Android 4.3

 

Truck: 2014 Silverado LT

Not sure on the mylink version will have to go check it during lunch.

I have a similar issue with my iPod's Bluetooth connectivity, although it doesn't happen all the time. It'll be playing fine, but if I manually change the song the Bluetooth connection is lost. The iPod continues to play, but not through the truck speakers. If I push the "Radio" button and then the "Media" button the iPod begins playing over the speakers again. I was told a "flash" might fix the issue......we shall see since I will be taking it to dealership this week.

I have had Bluetooth issues since I got the truck in January. I constantly have to pair the phone with the truck, it will show the Bluetooth is connected with the "B" symbol but nothing else will show (battery life and signal), my iPhone will show it is connected, and if I try to make a call it says it is going through MyLink but no sound is heard, I have to switch it to speaker or handset to hear the call. The music is hit or miss as to whether or not I hear it. I just got it back from the shop (they had to put in a new exhaust system!) and I told them of the Bluetooth issue, they said they updated the software and it should be good to go. It is still getting worse, no connection but music now. I called support and they basically said it was my cell carrier or my phone. My phone was fine with my previous vehicle, no issues, it is just since i got the truck. It was happening once or twice a week at the start, now it is daily (works in the morning, not in the afternoon) and now it is every time I drive it. Any one know if there is a service bulletin open on this?

I have two phones paired to my truck. Sometimes it will sync to mine, some times to my wives. Anyone know if you can make one primary? Mine is the first one paired, but makes no difference. Anyone having this issue, with any results? Thanks.

The "update" did not fix my Bluetooth connectivity issue

So I have a 2014 Sierra with mylink. I have a Samsung galaxy S4 bluetoothed to it, an Ipod classic hooked up usb, I have used an SD card, and i have bluetoothed a friends Iphone 5 or 5s cant remember exactly. All of these media devices will play left channel only out of all the speakers in the truck. The aux jack, cd player, and radio plays music just fine in stereo like it should. This drives me absolutely crazy because i know what the song is suppose to sound like but whole instruments will be left out sometimes. I dont know if there is a fix for this yet or if gm even really knows about it. Anyways this more of rant than helpful/useful information. If anyone finds out what is wrong with it please let me know and if i figure it out i will be sure to pass it along.

Take it to the dealership, show them the issue, and they should be able to update it which will fix your stereo output to your Bluetooth. Mine was also doing it thru the USB connection. To me it sounded like sound was coming out of both sides, but it was playing the same side out of both. Anyways, my dealer service department updated the headunit and it fixed the issue...

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
