IntelliLink Went Completely Haywire?

I had a very strange issue happen yesterday with the voice command lady who speaks through the system on my '15 Sierra Denali. I had navigation running on my Samsung S5 so I could hear directions to my destination through the speakers. I was also listening to a YouTube song via Bluetooth when I received a text. I flipped to the text app to read it. I didn't respond and flipped back to YouTube. As soon as I pressed the play icon on the video to resume the song the lady that would speak navigational directions and other stuff started talking and no music was heard even though the timer on the video was moving. It wasn't just that the lady was talking, she was just saying single random letters and numbers with no discernible pattern at all. Her voice was also different. The best way I can describe it is that she sounded like the old style Google Maps lady's voice that was more robotic than the current voice.

 

It was definitely an "ummmm wtf is going on here" moment. I closed all the apps assuming it was the phone doing something weird, but she just kept up with the jibberjabber. I started messing with the phone and all the features seemed to be functioning normally so I began to suspect the truck instead. I then tried switching to the radio feature and the truck didn't respond. I then press the main power button the radio. It showed the mute icon the top left of the screen but she was audible. The volume knob still worked so I had to turn it all the way down because she was going for a solid 5 minutes straight and I couldn't take it anymore. I had to pull off the road and turn the car off. When I turned it back on, the phone connected via Bluetooth and everything was back to normal. I've had the car since January '15 and this is the first time this has happened. Is this a known issue?

 

I've had the phone for probably 1.5 years now and in other cars I've done the same app combinations before and never have had this issue. I'm thinking it was the truck since the phone acted normal during all of this, but I really have no idea. I don't even know how I would begin to try and reproduce it because it was just so random.

Was it a group txt by chance? Mine does this if I listen to a group txt.

No, it was a single MMS with text from the girlfriend. I thought at first it might be Google Maps and she was trying to say the GPS coordinates or every letter on the YouTube page. But after a few minutes I couldn't pick up on any pattern at all.

When I got a picture text from my brother one time and chose to read it, it started reading through the "code/link" of the picture, which some can be thousands of letters/numbers

Hmmm I wonder if that is what happened. Maybe she got stuck reading all the code behind the picture. That's pretty crazy.

Mine does that in pictures and group messages. I just stopped listening to them while driving. It's prob a destination code or group code

I actually had to shut my truck off for it to stop reading it, couldn't just power off the radio or anything, would still be reading through it.

This must be it because it sounds like the exact same issue. Now I'm curious what made this MMS different because she has sent me pictures before while I was driving.

Some that were very close. I responded to her saying "I just drove into a ditch. :drool:"

 

Wait, you said you heard numbers. You didn't happen to hear 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 did you?

Probably, but I don't remeber her saying for example "sixteen" but she could have said "one six." That's a damn good show though.

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
