Just picked up an AT4 this weekend and have been working through the learning process on the various "systems" on this new generation. One thing I've noticed and was wondering if anyone had experienced and if so how it might be resolved is when an iPhone is connected via bluetooth it seems the infotainment system changes the ringer volume on the iPhone. At first I though I might have turned it down but I've verified it a couple of times by starting the truck, having bluetooth connect then shut the truck off, get out and check my ringer volume. Sure enough it drops down to the last two or three bars on indicator on the iPhone. The other thing I noticed is that when you have it connected via BT and have the music app open, when you change the volume in the truck the volume indicator on the phone goes up and down. I never had this issue with my 14 or 16 All Terrains and if in-fact I'm not crazy I believe this is going to be a bit problematic for folks who experience the same and end up missing phone calls, texts and emails (at least the ones who rely on an audible indication from their phones). Anyone else seeing the same?

I believe I might have figured out a work around on this. I disabled the "Change with Buttons" option on the iPhone under Settings-Sounds & Haptics and tested it and the ringer volume remained whe

I noticed that also.   I have to double check but I did see somethong in the manual that this happens.

I have the same issue. It must be a bug between the iPhone IOS and the chevy system. I will try the disable you were talking about. I also noticed that when calls came in I could hardly hear them on the chevy system when bluetoothed in. I turned the volume up on the truck and still it was not enough. Then I raised the volume on my phone via those side buttons and it was super loud. Hopefully disabling those button will fix that issue too.

I noticed this too and it’s been bothering me, I just checked my phone and I already had that disabled but have been experiencing it. [emoji20] min is a Silverado but I doubt it’s much different.

I disabled the “Change with buttons” as noted and it  no longer changes the ringer.  Iphone7 if that makes a difference.

I just bought a new Chevy Blazer RS and am having the same trouble with the volume on my phone.  Two different techs worked for a couple hours to resolve the problem and there is no resolving the problem.  No matter what is turned on or off, it stills lowers my volume down to bare minimum.  The techs have never seen a problem like this and were baffled.  They said I should go into the Apple store and explain the situation to them and see if they have heard of or found a solution to this problem.  Going tomorrow to Apple. 

I have an Iphone 6S plus.  I will update once I go into the Apple store.

Mine does this with my iPhone XS. Ironically, the Ford I had before this would do the opposite. It always maxed the volume. [emoji1787][emoji1787]

Mine does the same thing. I used the same workaround thinking it was actually something with my case. Glad to know i hadn’t lost my mind.

I have a 2020 2500 and this work around is not working. I go to two ticks on the volume for my iphone Xr every time it connects to the truck. iPhone seems to be unaware of the issue. Anyone come up with any other solutions? I am continuously missing calls after driving.

We just picked up a 2020 GMC Terrain Denali 3 days ago. We have an iPhone 6s and an iPhone Xr. Both have Bluetooth volume issues when on in Terrain. Volume on car and iPhone is at max and it’s very low. Frustrating. Never had this issue 3 days ago with 2014 Buick Encore or 2016 Chevrolet Equinox. We think it’s the 2020 GMC Terrain, not the iPhones.

Also have the same issue on my 2020 AT4 HD. iPhone X volume goes down to two bars of volume, and phone calls when bluetooth connected are quiet with phone and truck volumes maxed. Then I call onstar for something else, and almost blew my ear drums

Using CarPlay is the only solution to this problem that I have found actually works. 

 

It's very annoying. 

 

Also, my system stopped allowing me to sync contacts from my iPhone about 6 weeks ago, totally at random. Can't get it to sync no matter how many times I delete / re-add the iPhone, etc. So frustrating. Worked fine for the first 4 months I owned the truck, then stopped out of the blue. Not due to a software update, either.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
