I have an iPhone 5 and I am using a USB cable. However, when I am listeing to Pandora, and switch to Radio, Waze or take a call, and then switch back to Pandora, the screen displays correctly and the track is playing, but no sound is playing. If I unplug and plug back in the USB cable it is working again. I assume it is a setting with my phone? Any insight?

 

Thanks

Try turning the stereo on/off. That works for me. I think there are a lot of "quirks" like this in the system. I doubt it's a phone setting....I think it's a bug or oversight in the system design.

....like when I first connect the phone via usb, I have to initially start pandora on the phone before the truck's app can control it. The phone has to "allow" being used as an accessory.....I should be able to just start pandora with my voice as long as phone is connected.

 

But then again, I also updated the phone to ios7 which I shouldn't have.....

 

anyway....I'm just happy to be able to control pandora once it's setup and running.

FYI, Pandora works without the cable through BT. You just have to start the app prior to hitting the "Media" button.

 

FYI only android allows you to use pandora over Bluetooth. iPhone users have to have the iphone connected via a cable to use pandora and have mylink control it.

Not entirely true. Music will play untethered but you have to control it via your phone.

right, usb = control and more info

I was doing exactly what jmess was complaining about last night, switching between Pandora and other sources, and it worked just fine for me. But I have experienced the system getting stuck and not resuming pandora playback. I've also experienced the same thing when trying to switch back to a 32G SD memory card for music. Sometimes the system seems to get stale and not know where to resume playback ..... I just turn radio on/off or turn the volume knob, and usually things resume fine. Doesn't happen too often.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
