I have a 2014 gmc sierra slt and when i connect my iphone 7 through Bluetooth, a phone call comes in it doesn’t ring through the trucks speakers. The phone itself rings is this normal or is there something wrong? I assume it should ring through the speakers any help would be appreciated ? btw this is my first gmc truck owned for only 3 weeks now

It should ring through the speakers and the info unit should have an option to answer the call.  Doesn’t sound like you have it paired. When it’s paired, you’ll be able to listed to music through your trucks’ speakers.  Try that to test it.

Your phone has a separate Bluetooth volume in the Bluetooth settings. The volume could be turned down in there.

Check the Bluetooth volume in the truck. 

 

And do yourself a favor and just keep a iPhone cable in the truck and plug into that every time. The difference in sound quality between Bluetooth and being plugged in is pretty significant.

When a call comes in does the display unit tell you a call is coming in and give you the option to answer?  I’m assuming you have steering wheel controls.  I’m trying to figure out if those are working?  This might come down to a quirk that, while annoying, doesn’t really impact your ability to use the phone.  I mean, if you can see that a call is coming in and can answer it and then the sound (callers voice) comes through the speaker, at least you will be able to use the phone.

 

Also note that having the volume up befor Bluetooth connects is not the same as having the Bluetooth volume up. After it connects when you increase the volume, the “Bluetooth” volume goes up.  Still, I don’t think it’s volume because, as you said, the ring is coming through the phone.  That shouldn’t be the case.

 

I second the comment that the phone works much better if you plug it in.

Last thing I know to try is the phone reset.  Push the round button and the button on the top right simultaneously until the Apple symbol shows up and then let go.  Phone will reset.  That tends to resolve some quirky problems.

 

Also, depending on how much you’ve done to the settings, you may not want to do this, but one of the options in the car settings is to reset to factory settings.  Fresh start with the phone and the car might get things working correctly.

Looking through the settings on the radio, looks like you can turn the ringer on and off there. Maybe that’s it. a58bf8ac952bad86e5668d69260329db.jpg

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
