iPhone Text Issues

[James Montalbano]

I paired my iPhone 6 to my 2015 Silverado. I can receive text messages, but I cannot send a reply message or reply with a phone call using MyLink. I paired my business phone (Samsung Galaxy) and I was able to receive text messages and reply with either text message or call via MyLink. Is anyone else having issues with the iPhone and texting with MyLink?

Chevrolet Infotainment informed me that the reply to text or call back feature does not work with the iPhone. That's disappointing.

At least you have that option on thei 15'. The 14 do not.

Have you tried replying with the Siri hands free thing? I use it on my iPhone 6+ in my 15 Sierra daily. Hold the answer button on the steering wheel for a couple seconds, dic will show "waiting for device response", then you hear Siri say something about how can she help you through the truck speakers. Say "text (contact name)", Siri will say "ok, what do you want to say to contact name?" Say your text, she will read it back to you, then say "send" or "edit "if you need to change it.

He's got it spot on... you use the siri pass through to send a text. Push and hold your talk button on the steering wheel until you hear the siri beep noise and then make it an audible command the same as you would to your phone outside of your truck.

 

This was an apple decision to disable it, not a GM decision

The 2 above posts are spot on. That is your answer Texas Chevy.

Great advice. I am having same issue so will try this out tomorrow.

I know with my Avalanche, it's almost impossible to use Siri while driving. To much background/road noise I'm guessing or crappy mic.

 

How well does the 2014+ mics work with Siri?

[chiapet]

The advice in this thread is dead on accurate. I did/tried this today and it worked just as described. Thx for the great answer.

The text message feature only works on the later built 2014's and the 2015, correct?

I bought my 2014 in August of 2013 and when I hold the answer button on steering wheel the OnStar voice keeps coming on, it's not Siri. My audio soft version is 000464.

The 2014 Intellilink is not capable of this function. The 2015 has something different hardware wise that allows it to communicate with the iphone. This has been discussed on here somewhere before. But apparently after a huge backlash, gm decided to change the system on the 2015. We 2014 owners are SOL.

I had a 2015 GMC and my phone when linked with bluetooth would ding when i recieved a text and i was able to play it from the steering wheel. I recently bought a 2017 which has car play and i dont get the notice i recieved a text anymore. is this correct or should i still get the ding and on the screen it will say play and i can play from my steering wheel?

Exactly the way it works on my Samsung S5 Android, using Google vs Siri.
