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

You also have the choice of using the work around that’s been discussed or simply even unpairing your phone & plugging it in.

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 experience

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

Dudes I have Great News. When I pulled up to park on Tuesday afternoon and cut the truck off  a message came up on the radio screen that a system update was available. Said it would take 13 minutes and you could not start the truck lock or unlock after the update was started. I hit the start button and let it do its thing for 13 minutes. After this update was installed the phone (IPhone 7) volume still lowers when bluetooth connects HOWEVER IT NOW GOES BACK UP TO the previous full volume when the bluetooth disconnects. Life is Good Again LOL GM FIXED IT!

That could be great news if GM released another update in the last few days. What year is your truck, and can you please post the software version number?

truck is a 2019 Denali Ultimate unfortunately I did not get a pic of the update so I do not know the exact description but remember it said that it would take 13 minutes to do and had something to do with the entertainment/phone system. Funny thing is I did not even notice the phone turning back up after disconnecting until a day or so later. Never even thought about the update affecting that but hey I am very happy that it WORKED for that. Keep a close eye on your center screen and you should see the update request when you stop and cut the truck off. Just follow instructions on the screen and you will be good to go!  

 

now if I can get the wheels and tires to stop trying to shake off the truck, Life will be good again........

You can go to the info page and get the current software version.

I am not aware of any new updates to correct the volume problem

2020 Blazer. I have the problem with iPhone XR ringer volume turning down low after attaching to Bluetooth in vehicle. Applied fix suggested earlier in this thread. Seems to work sometimes but not consistently. Was hoping recent IOS 13.4 update would help. It didn’t. So now hoping GM comes up with a fix soon..

only fix is to have GM disable the muting all together. Turn truck on, immediately system mutes your phone, turn truck off and no more communication between truck and phone. Theres no fix other that disabling

Same issue with my 2019 Sierra. It’s gotten to the point where I am leaving Bluetooth off on my phone because I was missing so many calls. I am on the road for my job so countless times per day in and out- indubitably I would forget to check my ring volume on one of those trips and I’d miss numerous calls as a result.

2021 Silverado RST, purchased in Oct. I have all of the same issues as well. 
Btw, I just upgraded to the new I phone 12 and that did not change anything at all. I came from an I phone 11. Puzzled?

      Looking at 2022.5+ Silverado/Sierra 1500 (5.3L) - Lifter/DFM Question

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      You should be evaluating enough comparable trucks to know if one sounds different than the others - if you can't tell something is amiss by ear, it's probably fine.   Further evaluate enough trucks so that you can determine what 'normal' looks, sounds and feels like. Even if this is the first truck you're looking at and want to buy, go look at several more (regardless of whether you intend to buy them).   Insist on taking the vehicle to be evaluated, spend some time looking ALL OVER IT, look for overspray where it shouldn't be, paint damaged on bolt heads that are not normally removed. Check for rust, missing fasteners, non-factory style fasteners, suspiciously new parts especially on non-wear items. Check for leaks, check fluid conditions and level (dirty isn't the worst thing in the world but exceptionally low is).   Ignore tire shine and plastic dressing that makes an engine 'shiny'.    Beware of heavily fragranced interiors to mask odd odors that could hide potential mold from a leaky rear window.   Carfax is barely worth the paper it printed on. DO NOT trust it, a vehicle can be wrecked, fixed by a bunch of drunk hillbillies in their cousin's backyard and still have a clean Carfax. I can meticulously maintain my vehicle at home with top quality parts, materials and methods, the Carfax won't show a thing.   Taking it to a shop to have a teenager working afterschool (an inexperienced mechanic) evaluate it is a waste of time.   Lastly, a good, well taken care of truck will present itself as such, it would be generally comparable to a new truck. An uncared-for truck will show it, dents, scratches, seat stains, paint swirls, tears, scuffs, marks, rattles, vibrations, clunks, miss matched tires, etc...

      If you suspect an engine swap or similar modification to the front accessory drive...   Maybe try spending some time plugging in different make/models/years that utilized the same engine (prime donor vehicles or swap candidates), vans, full-size cars (Impala, Roadmaster), 4x4 trucks to get a collection of pump and brackets that are similar along with their associated part numbers; take that collection of part numbers to the parts store to compare.   Another Okie.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      There are knowns and unknowns.   Knowns:   - LT, RST and LTZ names/trims are gone.  The new "Silverado" trim level replaces all 3 of those.  You should be able to configure the Silverado trim to match the equipment levels of those three trims.    Unknowns:    - Custom.  No mention of what engines it will have access to.  Dual exhaust being standard does seem to confirm a V8 option for the Custom trim though.  My "guess" is that Custom will have access to the Turbomax and the 5.7.  I could be wrong though.  The current Custom trim went 2.7 Turbomax only the last 4-5 years, and only had a single side exit exhaust.     - 40-20-40.  I would imagine that is NOT going away.  They only focused on showing the new interior on the top trims, Trail Boss, ZR2 and High Country, hence the images shown are just bucket trucks up front.         The info should start coming fairly quickly over the next weeks and months.  Production is supposed to start up later this year, so when the order guide launches, you'll be able to see the configurations of engines, cabs, seating, etc.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      I don’t do offloading other than a dirt road literally for me it’s more about the look which I really appreciate a nice looking truck and I like sitting a higher and not just because I’m 5 foot seven lol..  I’m also not compensating for anything lol..  but I truly think it’s safer on the road the higher you sit you have better visibility generally speaking especially a few of your Sideview mirrors adjusted correctly. They do make a programmer rough country does they’re $1000 for these new 2500s but when I do a gear swap that would be a moot point. A lot of the shops that I go to in my area they’re all saying the same thing that Yukon Detroit axle Eaton Spicer Richmond they don’t have gear shot for these trucks which surprises me because hasn’t this body style been out since 2020? I’m hoping soon they have something because yeah I’ll have to spend the 3K to get both axles done. Thank you for all of your response responses. I apologize if there’s any grammatical error errors as I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone without proofreading
