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!

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.

      PPE Transmission Pan Install

      By GMC4Zee · Posted

      With this new pan, do you still use the same procedure to check the level? Its a deeper pan and our trucks do not have a fill tube/dipstick. So fill till fluid runs out the check plug?
