Mylink issues playing iPod classic

[Real_Tornadoes]

It's not the navigation that's the problem it's the ipod loading up itself even if you don't try to search it just locks up after a few minutes and it's ****ed.

I took the vehicle in about 2 weeks after I got it for this problem and was basically told that gm knows about the problem but there was no talk of rectifing it. I was told to get a new ipod pretty much

Needless to say I was pretty chapped

There's a techlink notice about this from a couple months back:

When listening to a connected iPod® in some 2015 LaCrosse, Regal, ATS, CTS, SRX, XTS, Corvette, Impala, Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500; and 2015 1/2 model year Escalade models, Silverado HD, Suburban, Tahoe, Sierra HD, and Yukon Models (only Utilities and HD Pickup Trucks equipped with RPO AVF – Effective Point Control, 2015 1/2 M.Y.), the first song will still display when the next song in the list on the device is playing.

This condition can be remedied by pressing the Next button while the device is playing. (Fig. 14) This will enable the system to properly display the song information for the rest of the drive cycle. Engineering is currently looking into this condition and more information will be released when available.

 

 

I had the exact same issue. Called GM and they couldn't figure it out either.

What you have to do is work/choose your your music through your display. I was trying to choose songs or playlists through the i-pod.

You have to plug your i-pod in and let the my link radio take it from there. On your my link display choose "browse". Then choose playsist or artist or whatever.

It will work fine after that. The display will display the song that you're listening to.

When I chose songs or artists or playlists on the i-pod I had the same issue as you. Plug the i-pod in, let all of your music kind of download into the radio and choose your music through your radio not your i-pod.

 

Wrong. The issue is that the older iPods, including my first-gen iPod Touch that I keep exclusively for use in the car, have issues communicating with the system in the truck. I operate mine exclusively from the display in the truck, and it doesn't change the operational behavior one bit. If I USB-connect my iPhone with the exact same library on it, it works perfectly fine.

 

From what I can tell, the issue is that the communication between the truck and the device on these older units is "too slow" in some manner and keeps them from updating the display screen correctly. What's worse is that the entire system will become unresponsive after a while and "pressing Next" as outlined in the upper quoted post will result in a sever lag before it will actually move to the next track.

I've had a similar issue with my 2015 Colorado. IPOD doesn't refresh artist/song title when the song changes to a new one (the bar for the length of song did change, just not the other things). Took the truck to the dealer to review. They found a software update #PIC6056B that they applied the update and the problem was fixed.

Sorry - the PI # was referenced in the service paperwork. All that says is to manually change the song in the browse menu. The actual software upgrade performed was to the latest version: 2810335 .3 That fixed it.

Wow. I thought I was the only one having this problem. I've had my car for 2 1/2 years (2015 Impala), and could not understand why this was happening. I just had my car serviced due to a loose wire to the USB ports. They performed a couple of software updates, but still having the same problem. I am going to try the techlink notice to see if that works.
