Yesterday I was driving my truck down the road and I had received a text so as always I hit listen. Well it turned out to be a picture message and it played the entire encoded text in the body of the image (a series of random numbers and letters) it took about 14 minutes to finish.

 

Well now When I read a text through my link it doesn't read the text content but rather the encoding in the actual transfer of the text (Location body destination) which happens to also be a series of numbers and letters.

 

Is there a way to reset this? this baffles me.

This just started happening to me as well. I just got a samsung s6 and it started immediately after that. It read the texts fine with my moto razr hd. We need some help on this one.

You may need the same update I'm at the dealership getting right now. I have a '15 SLT and started having issues with my infotainment system a few weeks ago. The dealer said there was a update specifically for the Truck/phone interaction process. I would see your dealer to see if this will help your problem.

Made an appointment for this Saturday to have this issue addressed along with an issue with Pandora where it doesn't load my stations it just says QUICKMIX as the titale of the last station I listened to and says no content available when I try and "Browse" my stations.

 

Also Getting an Oil change, Tire rotation, one of my goodyear wrangler SRA's patched "Again" for the third time, and hopefully the transfer case recall.

What kind of phone do you have Wildwilt? My text interaction has been working perfectly, even the Siri eyes free function where I can dictate whatever I want to say in a message. I don't think I've received a text message with a picture while in my truck but nervous now, that if I get one it will screw it up.

 

Question - has the issue only been with text messages from the same person? You might want to try deleting that whole message conversation from your phone and see if that helps. Maybe the way that text came through is now making the truck see it oddly. I would delete that string of messages and the. Have that person, or your wife or something, send you a new one so you can test it.

I have a Motorola Droid Turbo, Relatively new phone I believe they were released a little over a year ago. The issue has been with multiple people, And actually when it first started happening after I hit "Listen" on the picture message it happened all the time then it stopped for a month or so, and just started happening again as of late. It has been a random problem with no rhyme or reason that I can see, But also I noticed it does not load my text messages on the display of my mylink it says "no content available" and will just keep buffering.

Okay, just trying to help.

 

Mine has never loaded my text messages and I don't believe it is supposed to. It will only show a new message you received from when you started the truck. That's for safety. They don't want you looking at your old messages. Good luck with getting that figured out.

Well I had the recall (15034) Performed and oil changed/tires rotated, But basically my dealer told me they didn't have a fix for my text issues, my truck no longer displays the texts being read aloud either I might just have to call GM infotainment support, other than that I really don't know what to do my dealer sucks the sale was great but the service center is garbage I might try a different dealer.

Did you check to see if the Bluetooth setting in your phone have changed? Check that settings for that Bluetooth device and make sure notifications or any other settings might be configured properly.

Mine has read the code to me before too. Took like 15 minutes to read a multimedia text (2 recipients) that only said "Okay".

Yea that sounds about right. My dealer basically told me to wait and see if something comes out... That is just not good enough for me though.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
