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 where I had set it.  

Does this prevent the ringer volume be being decreased if you need to go to a meeting and push the side button to lower the volume?

Yes, so you could only change the ringer volume in Settings-Sounds and change the slider volume there.
Or if you’re in a meeting the vibrate switch would still turn off the ringer sound.

What iphone do you have? Maybe it's fixed on the newer versions.

 

It’s not. We’ve all tried that. 
 

My 2019 has this issue. Even with the new v807 software they just rolled out. 
 

However, when I had a 2020 LT loaner, I had no issues with my phone connecting, syncing contacts, volume, etc. Very weird.

I have same issue with 2019 GMC Sierra, ringtone iPhone XR lowers to nothing, have turned off change volume with buttons and issue persists.  Spent 1 1/2 hr with iPhone support and narrowed it down to settings within infotainment on GMC, got no such support from GMC.  Google indicates several with issue.

I wondering if this is just a issue with iOS or does Android have the same problem?

After reading through, it didn't look like anyone responded to you. I have Android and experience the same issues described by my Apple brethren with volume being adjusted on the phone through truck changes and notifications not coming through the phone. Scouring the internet didn't yield a fix either. Seems we are in a waiting cycle.

Finally had time to play with the phone and truck today. Mine seems to work fine! It does lower the volume on the phone while connected either by Bluetooth or the cable and in apple play. However once I disconnect it goes back to full volume.

Iphone X, latest updates and in settings I have the change ringer with side buttons off, This is on a 2020 AT4 with the latest updates also. Not sure this will help anyone but my experience.

The technology on the my 20 is so much different than my 18 that I just traded in.  The volume on the phone goes down and stays down after exiting truck which has caused me to miss many business calls! (Irritating)  It no longer reads my text messages to me while driving, instead have to look at phone unless of course I want to plug in for carplay.  Very dangerous looking at phone for text messages.  Wish I had known some of these things prior to buying, might have considered a different brand.  If anyone has a fix for these things please advise.  Thanks

I feel your pain about the text messages. GM removed that function with the 2020 models. Huge step backwards. I’ve called GM to complain but obviously did no good. Disappointing, especially since it’s as simple as a software update.

I experienced same issue of volume going down and staying down even after leaving the vehicle. Was missing phone calls and text messages. I followed the advice given in TSB # 19NA270 and no longer have this issue after turning off the "change with buttons" setting. I have an iphone xs with ios 13.3 and a newly purchased 2020 GMC Sierra. I too am very disappointed with GM for removing the text message feature from their infotainment system as was on my 2017 Sierra. With Apple car play plugged in one can get messages but it is ridiculous to be required to plug a phone in so one can receive text messages. And why GM still requires a cord for car play in 2020 is beyond belief. The phones have supported wireless car play for quite some time as well as many car manufactures. GM is way behind with their infotainment technology and needs to update their systems ASAP.

My earlier post regarding the volume being turned down on my Iphone after connecting with the infotainment system in my 2020 Sierra is no longer valid. The fix I employed from TSB # 19NA270  worked until my system updated to v148. Neither work around mentioned in the bulletin now fixes the problem. If anyone has found a solution, please post.

The way I see it GM is manipulating MY IPhone not their IPhone. GM through their internal app intentionally lowers my phone volume when I push the ignition switch to turn on the motor of the truck but when truck is turns off the app doesn't increase the volume back to its original setting and its caused me to miss several important calls.

If GM doesn't fix this issue and eliminate this function I'll be forced to execute a lawsuit against GM

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
