Due to programming on the iPhone you cannot reply to txts from the truck's display. You can however hold down the voice command button on the steering wheel until SIRI comes on and ask her to reply to the txt

Okay great thanks

Or, if you have the phone plugged in, you can just yell out "Hey, Siri" and ask 'her' to both read and then reply to the text.

I have a 2015 GMC paired up to an iPhone 6. The problem I'm having is when I make a call sometimes it comes through on my phone, not the truck speakers. When this happens I press "handset" on the lower right side of the screen to reveal "handsfree" and then the truck speakers work. Bluetooth is connected and I have the Call Audio Routing on the phone set to "Bluetooth Headset"

 

Any ideas?

I used iOS products early on when Android just wasn't up to par.  Things have changed years ago.  Less reliability in hardware/software and charging more for less features.  Oddly enough, bluetooth issues on 3 different iPhone 6+ units caused me and my wife to dump all things iOS.

I have a 2017 GMC Sierra pick up. I found my iphone 5 se wouldn't connect to projection/apple car play when connected via iphone cord to usb. I called this number 855-478-7767 and they told me iPhone 5 is not compatible with this year Intellalink even though it has the latest apple update installed on the phone.  That sucks for me because I really like my iPhone 5 and don't want to upgrade at this moment. But if anyone know a work around Id love to hear it.

I do IT for a hospital and we have more problems with iOS than anything else.  Its a terrible operating system in all regards, especially in corporate environments.  While Android isn't perfect by any means, I tell every doctor and executive to get rid of their iphones and get a good Android whenever they have issues.  Those that listen are amazed at how they no longer need to call the help desk for support every other week on their iphones because their email stopped working again.  And I'm not even going to get started on the issues with our corporate security software on the iphones.

I can pair my phone to my 2018 GMC and 2017 Buick, but it tells me it is unable to complete the command when I try to call someone from Siri.  Works if I call from the iphone 6s and then comes over the speakers

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
