I have a new Sierra 1500 and the same thing, I tried changing the sounds and haptics button but no luck. I can turn the volume up on my iPhone and watch it move back down to two bars!

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

Yes.  This is a "big brother" safety feature.  If you plug in and use car play, it won't do it.

I just bought my 2020 GMC Canyon, had it a week and it does this with my IPhone XR, Anyone found a solution yet?  It's very annoying.  I'm going to call the dealership and see if they have any suggestions.

I also have the same issues with the phone volume. Also is anyone else having issues with the "find my..." App on the I phone while in their truck?

My wife cannot locate me when the phone is in my truck (could be a good thing) but also I cannot locate her or my daughter when I am using my phone in my truck (bad thing). Its like the signal is blocked. This is even with wifi connected.

I played around with this a little more and it seemed to have corrected the issue in my truck, 2020 Sierra 2500. For reference, I have an iPhone 11 Pro paired to it.

I originally tried the “change with buttons” fix but that didn’t work for me. I also noticed that no matter what I changed the volume buttons on my phone to, a few seconds later they’d go right back down when I was connected to the truck.
There also appears to be a couple different volume settings when your phone is connected via Bluetooth: media, ringtone, in call, etc.
I used my wife’s phone to call me when my phone was connected to the truck. When my phone started to ring, I adjusted the “ringtone volume” higher via the truck radio volume knob and it has stayed louder, even when my phone shows the volume only on two bars or so.

I went through & adjusted all the volumes via truck controls & they have appeared to stay where I left them, despite my phone volume showing it’s low when it connects to the vehicle. My phone is actually always on the vibrate only setting & yet when I’m connected to the truck, the audible ringtone volume is always where I set it the first time.

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. 

I have been going back and forth with GMC and Apple about the contacts no longer synching.  They stopped synching after the update from GMC in August of 2019.  GMC says its an Apple problem.  At least Apple is trying to see what the issue is.  I've talked with Apple tech engineers and still no solution.  Seems like a GMC problem.

That’s when my contacts stopped syncing on my iPhone XS, too. It’s most definitely a GM issue, as my contacts still sync fine in my wife’s Honda.

I just got my 2019 Silverado LTZ and have been experiencing the SAME thing!.... When the phone connects to the trucks bluetooth, the volume display comes on and actually shows it going down.  Then, with each notification I get, the same display comes on and show's how low the volume is.  The really aggravating thing about this is that the volume level STAYS low, which has resulted in me missing a lot of phone calls.  I just turned off the Change With Buttons setting... and turned phone off and back on... let's see if that does work.

Was hooking up my dash cam today and noticed each time I started the truck the volume level on my IPhone dropped to 2 bars also. However I got a call when the truck was off and it rang normal. Just checked it when I saw this thread and it is up to the normal high setting I keep it on. Wondering if it is a normal connection setting to keep it from being to load through the truck when it is connected but then goes back to normal for when not connected. Will play with it tomorrow a little more.. I do have the buttons to change the ringer volume disabled.

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

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
