CarPlay Audio Issues in 2016 Silverado

I don't know how many 2016 trucks are out there, but I was curious if anyone else was having issues with choppy audio playback from Apple Carplay. If I have my iPhone plugged in via Lightning cable, the audio playback is extremely choppy, and it doesn't get any better with time. Also, the CarPlay apps will take several seconds to respond to any touch, which effectively renders the feature unusable. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? I know the feature is brand new with the MyLink system, but I'm surprised at just how buggy it is. It's not a huge bugaboo for me, as the Bluetooth works fine, so I figured if I get nothing here, I'll bring it up at my first oil change.


-I have the 40/20/40 bench, and I am utilizing the USB port in the flipdown console

-Pandora plays just fine when connected through the same Lightning cable in the same port

-Have tried multiple Apple and other certified Lightning cables

-Currently running iOS 9.2 on my iPhone 5s

-Have cleaned my Lightning port on the phone to no avail

-Have 2.2GB free memory on the phone

-The music I am attempting to play is stored on the phone


I have yet to try another phone, but if anyone has any other ideas or similar experiences, I would appreciate the input.


Thank you.

I haven't noticed in mine. The available apps don't seem to lag much and i have a 5c. Sometimes it takes a bit for Siri to get her act together but i blame her not the mylink lol

I had some issues with mine when I first got it. I noticed the lightning cable had a kink in it. I swapped in a new cable and have not had any issues since.

Do you have siri turned off?

I did try that. Also tried doing a network settings reset on my phone. I don't really want to reset the whole phone, as that's more of a hassle than I'm willing to embark on for something that I believe has a pretty small chance of working.

 

I mean, there's four things that this can be:

1.) A connection issue between my center console USB port and the head unit.

2.) a software issue with iOS 9.2.

3.) a software issue with MyLink.

4.) a hardware issue with my 5s.

 

1.) Not something I can test for, but dealer techs have a test cable for connection issues similar to this.

2/4.) I need to borrow a friend's phone to verify its a software hardware issue.

3.) Sounds like GM has something in the works, but you know they never give hard dates for software availability.

 

My best bet at this point is to get ahold of another iPhone with iOS 9.2. Should be able to test that theory tomorrow. I'll update with what I find with the swapnostics.

I've had the same issues using the USB port. It lags when I change the song and the audio is very crackled. Has yours gotten any better?

Mine works fine when I use it on my 16. I have to be honest and state that I haven't used it more than 3 times, but haven't noticed any problems. Sorry to hear that for you.

Can you just take your truck into the dealer to get the carplay update? I have a 2015 and would love to have this

Sorry, but no.

Several threads about this.

 

(edit: Technically, I guess you can get an update, but it's expensive because it will come wrapped in a vehicle that also has updated headlights, an HD radio etc)

You shouldn't be using the USB in the armrest on a 40/20/40 seat for carplay... you should be using the white plug in your upper glovebox

Wow, nailed it. I didn't even know there was a USB port in my glove box. Everything works flawlessly if I have my phone plugged into the glovebox USB. It doesn't make any sense to me why I wouldn't be able to use my center console USB, though. I'm still going to complain about it when I bring it into the dealership.

The whole point of carplay is to get your iphone out of reach and not be a distraction... that's why it's in the glovebox. In theory, they figure people will put their iphone in the glovebox. Me, I just use a longer cord and route it out where the glovebox handle is and let it sit on my center armrest or in a cupholder

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
