It's not always the phone. Some carriers work better than others. I know they don't "officially" support any but the big 4

I have Sprint... It's just strange that I can send texts perfectly with my IPhon 6 through my 2015 Silverado but can not recieve text back. It's just silly if you can send texts you should be able to recieve them. I emailed the Chevrolet coy timer service hotline and the said its a issue with the IPhone 6. If that's the case tell the comsumer that they don't with IPhone 6. Don't flat out lit and that's what their exactly doing flat out lies.

Just was thinking, have you tried to connect to the wifi in your truck and then try to receive a text? Just trying to rule out things to find the reason you can't receive them.

Yep I've tried A-Z I wrote to the GM complaint unit they all but told me that it's a Apple issue and not the trucks infotainment MyLink. So I'm writing to GM headquarters downtown and then to the head of Chevrolet if that doesn't work then on to the big boss.

I tried it today with my daughters Samsung Galaxy 4 Note and it worked great in an out texts perfect just the way it's supposed to work. It's something from Apple and the iPhone. It doesn't matter they claim it has a text option and it doesn't work. We have even tried it in another 2015 Chevy Silverado. I want to be compensated for the money I'm paying for a product that does not work plain and simple.

It says most smartphones why would they promote a 2015 model year auto with an apple iPhone that's been out for 2 years. How many people sit down and read a owners manual when there purchasing a vehicle at the dealership. I asked the dealership they said it works eith almost all iPhones. The texting option on all GM cars has only been an option for 3 years. They are just deceptive and don't tell the customer it only works with certain smartphones. They need to list them up front. It's cool the car was sold to me saying it had the texting feature and it doesn't work with the most popular smartphone in the world. DUH

I've got a 2015 Sierra SLT and an iPhone 6+ on AT&T, like I said, mine works flawlessly. Maybe it's something with the Chevy system? Are they the same infotainment systems or different?

The same exact system in all trucks and SUVs I've even tried it in the Tahoe, Yukon , etc....

I just purchased a 2015 Silverado 1500 LTZ on Monday and wanted to add my $.02 from my experience thus far. I have been able to pair my i6+ to the truck and use it as advertised, which includes sending/receiving texts with notifications. I am using iOS 8.1.2. The only thing I dislike is having to tether my phone to get Pandora to play, but other than that, I am completely happy, however that may change after I've been using it for awhile. ;)

You can use Pandora over regular BT also. You just lose the ability to browse stations but the rest of the features are present. Simply press the Media button to switch to your BT source and fire it up like normal on your phone.

ok, I'm new to this sight, and because I've been on here to try and find out info I thought I would try and give back. I have a 2015 Chevy LTZ and could not get text messages on the MyLink. I have all the normal things turned on that I'm sure you have read from the posts, but on my Iphone I found out there is two messengers. Go to settings-notifications-messenger, this is where I found my problem, there is a messenger icon that has I green icon, but if you scroll down there is also a messenger with a blue icon, click on that and "allow notifications".After that, I started to receive text messages but I still cant send them canned ones but I just use the SIRI to respond.

 

Hope that can help some of you!!!

Holy crap OP, you just don't get it do you. GM has no way to make a system work with every phone out there. There are literally 100's of phones on the market. With that each carrier has a different OS for their system that varies from the OS the phone manufacture put on the phone. Every carrier has the OS customized for their system. GM has no control over this and no way to anticipate how the phones will play with the system.

 

GM built the system using the industry standard protocols for BT, as said the system works just fine. Your issue is with Apple and or Sprint, not with GM. You can bark all you want about compensation but your deserve nothing and are owed nothing. If you don't like how the iPhone works with the system then go with a Samsung Galaxy phone as they work just fine. Apple has been known for years to lock down their BT protocol and not allow it to do things that the Android BT protocol allows. Apple has been very up front and well known in this aspect. Apple locks down all sorts of the OS on purpose to drive people to have to use their apps or programs.

 

You are making a mountain out of a small ant pile and it funny and stupid at the same time.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
