Sometimes my truck says it will call, but then just turns the music back on. Deleting the phone and resyncing it usually does the trick. I don't use the voice command prompts though, I activate Google assistant through the truck instead by holding down the voice prompt button. I have a Samsung Note 5. I think the issue is with the phone

I have not, but I have narrowed it down. I went to the Samsung booth at Best Buy and they updated my phone, still didn't work. Dealer is useless. I think it has to do with the number of contacts I

ok all. I figured out the problem after getting the Truck software updates, replacing two batteries and getting my phone updated as well. The dealer told me that it was my phone, but in fact there i

I thought I had it figured out. What kind of phone are you using? I am using an Samsung 7. As a last resort, you should back up all your contacts and add one at a time. to see if it is a special character you put in on accident. That is the only think I can think of.

Samsung Note 4.

Just wondering if anyone found a resolution to this issue?

I am also experiencing the same issue with my personal phone (S6) and my work phone (iPhone 5).  It was not always like this and I have lest than 100 contacts on each phone.

I have also noticed that my USB stick which is loaded with music files can no longer be accessed by voice.  Something has changed and I can't figure it out.

 

Since I posted this I found a fix from another web site ... I tried it and it worked.

What needs to be done to fix the issue it to go into settings, change the language to Spanish (not sure if other languages will work) then shut down the car for 5 minutes. Go back into the system and change the language back to English and the voice commands will work fine.

Is your Onstar light green?  I had a similar problem, and after banging my head against the interwebs for awhile, I realized that my Onstar was dark.  I unplugged the fuse corresponding to Onstar and plugged it back in, and now everything works!

I will have to try this. My truck started doing this too! I have a Note 9 and it wasn't always like this.

THIS IS THE SOLUTION I FOUND TO FIX MY ISSUE

 

I tried deleting the contacts from my phone and reimporting them: DID NOT WORK

I tried unpairing and repairing my BT: DID NOT WORK

 

Went into settings (in the truck radio) and drilled down until I could reset favorites.  This involved me selecting the reset button, power the truck off, open and keep the door closed for a minute (THE TRUCK TELLS YOU TO DO THIS ON THE SCREEN), power back on, then repaired my BT connection and SUCCESS!  It works again.

I can verify this is a solution that worked for me today. Thanks for the advice.

This works!!!  2016 Sierra and it worked fine until 60 days ago.  Spent 3 days at the dealer,  hundreds on  dealer GMC software upgrades, left phone for a day and ultimately they told me it works fine I just don't know how to use it.  Infuriating.  20 minutes on an internet search and a

five minute fix. The language change probably resets something else to correct whatever the problem is, but this is a fast easy fix and it works.  Thank you Thank you Thank you BigDigger

Had the same problem!! Worked for years, then it stopped, just like others posted. Ughhh.,  Tried every suggestion on here...nothing worked. I then went to SETTINGS on my CELL. Clicked on "download my contacts" TO my cell FROM the SIM card. After that I HAD TO DISCONNECT my BT on my cell, and then reconnected it..hit SCAN. IT WORKED!!  It was my CELL, not the vehicle!!

Sometimes powering down and restarting the phone will cure Bt or AA or Carplay issues....

This thread is a bit old but I thought I'd add a solution that worked for me to maybe help others experiencing this frustrating issue.  I have a 2017 Chevy Cruze with MyLink. Like others in this post, my voice recognition just stopped working one day. I wanted to reaffirm that ScottC's reply was the solution that worked for me. I changed the MyLink language from English to Spanish and then back. And that was it, solved immediately.  Thank you.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
