Hey guys, so I noticed my iPod on my iPhone 5 with iOS 8 recently added doesn't work. I Can click on a song from the heads up screen but it won't play. If I manage to get one to play, it says artist info is unknown and won't continue playing the song after. Anyone else having this issue?

 

I did have a couple episodes prior to iOS 8 which the artist info wouldn't come up to but now it's mich worse. Thanks

Hmm......I guess I wont be updating to iOS 8 anytime soon. Sorry for your troubles man. My guess is the update caused something to no communicate well with the mylink anymore....

 

you would think GM would release a MyLink update but I doubt that will happen.

New guy here. Got my Sierra 2 weeks ago. Anyway, I had the same things after I updated. Latest gen 32gb touch with several thousand songs. After about 1/2 hour connected to the truck everything came together - songs, playlists, album art...

I am having problems too. Wired or through bluetooth I used to be able to use the media button to go to my phone and then it would start playing my podcasts or music right away. Now I have to go to use my phone to open the podcast app and start playing it from my phone. Also, if I then switch to some other media in my truck (like my USB) and then back to my phone, my content on my phone won't play at all and it seems to cause a problem with all media (USB, SD, Phone memory) that my truck tries to catalog. I then have to switch to the radio and then back to my media, but I still can't get my phone to play until I shut my truck down.

 

I have an iPhone 5 too btw. I think I'm going to do a total reset on my phone if Apples soon to be released 8.0.2 update doesn't fix it.

I just read the update is having problem across the board. Apple has admitted working on a fix.

Apple released 8.0.2...any better after updating with this fix? My iPad and iPhone 5 seem to respond better. Haven't tried Bluetooth in truck yet, but mine wasn't having BT issues before.

Well Pandora works too but you can't switch to the next song from the steering wheel. You can switch it from the phone or from the touch button on the main screen. Above all, everything seems to be working again though for now so I'm happy.

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
