My iPhone has the volume turned down ever time I connect to my 2019 GMC AT4.   I had the phone checked and all diagnostics came back fine.  You have to manually adjust the volume on your phone when entering or leaving the truck. to avoid missing calls.  Spent numerous hours trying to figure this out.  It works fine in my wife's Ford Explorer.  So,  I took it back to the dealer to find it is a know problem and GMC has no updates to fix it.   Has anyone experienced this and found a resolution, as I am confident after speaking to GMC that it a program coding issue for them.

The calls are missed when you leave the truck.  The phone volume can be wide open when you get in the truck and will automatically go to zero when it connects to bluetooth.  When you get out of the tr

I'm having the same issue. I Just upgraded to IOS 12.2 Last night and this morning in my truck, it did the same thing again. So the last 2 versions of IOS has now dropped down to 2 bars on my volume.

I started experiencing this same thing about 3 days ago.  I have had my truck for about 4 months and it just started doing this.

I am on version V 509 and it has not updated since the end of Dec so I do not know what changed.

 

You can go to "sounds" and turn the "change with buttons" to off and you phone should still ring.

The only time mine automatically lowers volume when connected is when it’s on silent.

I am not sure it is necessarily an issue with the truck. What version of iOS are you running?

 

My 2015 Colorado with the IO4 stereo (4.2" display but BT/Streaming and everything else) started doing this with my iPhone Xs Max earlier this week - right after my last iOS update.

IOS 12.2 iPhone X in a Silverado Trail Boss LT.  Lowers my volume on the phone to 2 bars every single time.  Infotainment version is 509.  I haven't yet received the update for 803.1.

I am thinking this is the issue to.  I only started having this problem in the last 7-10 days and that is when I was upgraded to 12.2. Could be a coincidence though.

 

My truck updated to 803.01 yesterday and that did nothing for the issue.

That leads me to believe it's the truck, not the phone or IOS. The only thing I've thought of doing is to turn off Bluetooth on my phone, and just plug it in and use the vehicles apple play. By far the most annoying thing that's happened since buying this vehicle. Side note, We bought a 2019 GMC terrain at the same time. It doesn't do this to my wife's phone or mine. Same 8" screen, hers however has navigation. My truck does not. Ready for them to fix this...

Is the issue your speaking of when connected via Bluetooth? Or CarPlay via a cable? Or both?

I also have the same problem. iPhone XR with the latest IOS and 2019 HC with the latest update. As soon as I the phone links up to the truck Bluetooth it turns the phone volume all the way down. It pops up on the phone screen when it happens. I do not have this problem in my wifes 2015 Acadia Denali. I have played around with every setting and cannot come up with a solution besides turning my volume up after I leave the truck every time. Very annoying.

i have this issue too. only on Bluetooth. If i have it plugged in it is super loud. My phone is normally on vibrate, so I will pay attention if it changes when I have the ringer on. I have iOS 12.1.2 and this has been this way since November when I first got the Truck. I have done 3 Infotainment Software updates so far.

I bought a 2019 High Country in November '18 and it's been lowering my iPhone 7 plus volume almost all the way down since day one.   I've tried everything and have had 2 updates to the truck software since,  and it still continues to lower the volume way way down.  Very annoying.

Are yall saying that the Infotainment system lowers the iPhone volume only when the phone RINGS? Or with music as well? 

 

I have 803.1 and an iPhone XS 12.2 iOS, and this has never happened to me via Bluetooth connection.

I had a 2019 LT Z71 as a loner with the smaller Infotainment screen than my truck and the phone volume was fine via Bluetooth. I had my phone on vibrate at the time as well.

SO funny, I guess I am not the only one....OK GMC....read this board and update your software.......this is a major annoyance glitch! stop messing with the iphone volume control. let stand where it is set.....if it blows the speakers, right a software clipping signal software program for the amplifier circuit!

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
