I searched and didn't come up with anything on this. Its not really a problem more so just an observation so I figured sticking it in the general section was appropriate

 

. Anyone else notice if you stream Pandora and shut off the vehicle and then get back in once the bluetooth comes back on line the first song is at a reduced volume? The next song that comes up will be at normal volume. Sometimes mine also doesn't play the commercials (free Pandora app) not that I am complaining about no commercial but the 30 seconds to a minute of silence is odd. I am running a Galaxy S4 anyone else notice this? Not complaining being able to stream my favorite music is pretty darn cool.

Mine does the low volume thing too. Have the paid version so don't know about the ads. Have a Samsung galaxy S4 on Verizon. I can like/dislike, browse stations with bluetooth connection.

Yeah must be an S4 thing. I am on Sprint though. I can also like/dislike and browse on the screen over blutooth. The bluetooth voice commands for the phone are flaky but that may be a user problem. My wife and brother that I work with say I mumble. Speech to text is interesting sometimes so their complaints may have merit LOL

There is a setting in the radio menus that has "maximum start-up volume" you can adjust it up or down so you don't blow your speakers out on start up if you left it on really loud.

Must be the differents between Bose and the other radio to get all Pandora functions on wifi, not going to complain, small detail. No troubles with the volume, these trucks have character. Yea that's it.

I have Pandora also and yes the low volume at the beginning is a little annoying! heres my question! Everytime i get in my truck my bluetooth links and if the radio is on, it always automatically goes to streaming pandora! Can i stop it from doing that!? i looked for a setting on my phone (note3) and on 14 Sierra screen. kinda annoying. Thanks for the help!

Mine does something similar. Everytime I hit the meda button it automatically fires up the itunes music player even if that app was closed and pandora or the podcast app was open. I think it might be an issue with my phone rather than the truck's bluetooth/radio system. I seem to remember having a similar problem with the phone with another stero system I was using it with.

Your radio and phone is going to go to the last option you picked, same as any old set up in the past.

that's what mine does. it won't even make available the Pandora favorites until I hit the Pandora button again if it wasn't what was playing when I turned the car off. Hitting the Pandora button boots it up on the phone then. I have a Nexus 5.

I have the latest I phone with Pandora and some of my I tunes on it about 2500 tunes. If I shut off the truck and don't change anything its picks up where it left off when I fire back up. Most of the time I shut off the radio, turn off the Pandora on the phone and start fresh in the AM. Lately I have been glued to nascar radio on XM, awaiting updates on the Tony Stewart story.

denali picks up wherever i left off. if i was on pandora then it starts there, if i was on fm, it starts there.

 

no one plugs their phone into the radio anymore, this isn't 2007. you have more features via bluetooth that you do via 3.5mm stereo.

Not really, if you plug in to the USB with Pandora you can use the icons on the screen, like with your computer.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!

      I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      I'm glad you have 14,000 trouble free miles. Frankly though, that's a really low bar. A bare minimum of 80,000 trouble free miles as the norm (rare exceptions always exist) across the whole model year should be a starting point. Good maintenance habits should push these past the 100,000 mile mark with only the most minor of issues. Let's hope GM truly leveled up the quality game with these new engines and exploding engines under 50,000 miles are gone.

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.
