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!

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
