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...

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
