Same issue here.  Has anyone found a solution other than disabling the ringer volume by side buttons option?

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.

Well finding this thread ,now I know I am not crazy.

Bought the truck about 6 weeks ago and the first few times I connected via Bluetooth with my iphone,  I found my volume down.

Thought I accidently turned the volume down myself at first but started thinking it might be an issue with the radio.

Didn't really had time to look into it and in the mean time

I updated the iphone trough  the new software notice on my phone and I noticed that I don't have that issue anymore.Well  for now the issue seems to be resolved.

I personally linked the correction of the issue to the phone's software update. Maybe I am wrong but I think it's worth the try .

I have iOS 12.3.1 and still same problem. My dealership maintenance department tells me it’s a wide known issue, but GM has yet to fix it. My 2016 Silverado did not do this. I have noticed this radio seems to somehow take complete control over my phone volume.  The phone thinks this radio is a pair of Bluetooth headphones and not a radio. I can adjust the volume on my radio and watch the volume icon on my phone change. Whatever is causing this, it needs to be fixed ASAP. I’m still thinking it’s the truck radio.

Mine started doing this at about 2500 miles as I didn't notice it before then.  The ONLY time it doesn't do this is if I am listening to music on my phone in the truck and then shut off the truck.  Then when I get back into the truck and start it, it reconnects and the volume is right where I left it and the music picks up right where it stopped. ...which is pretty nice.

However, I have missed many calls because the volume is so low I cannot hear the phone ringing at all when its connected and I only catch the call if I happen to look over at the infotainment screen.

I still am ok for now.if ever you get a fix from dealer let us know. I will get mine checked so it doesn’t happen again.

I have a 2019 Silerado.  Same problem.  When connected to bluetooth in the truck, the volume turns down but does not turn up when exiting the truck.  I think it is the safety nazis at GM that have set the infotainment system to cut the volume down when on bluetooth so that if you receive a text or email you not receive the notification and look at it.  It is a major pain.  Have missed a bunch of calls.  GM should not do this.  It should be an option and be able to disable by the vehicle owner!

Wait, if it's connected to Bluetooth in the truck why would you be missing calls?

Because the only way you know someone is calling is the music goes off, no sound and maybe a phone number will show up on truck display.

Have to reach over and turn volume up on truck to hear whoever is calling.

Not only 2019’s. We have a 2020 2500HD. Same issue

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 truck it stays at zero.  I do not set my iphone to vibrate unless I switch it to silent.  So when you get out of the truck with the volume changed to zero, it does not ring or notify you of any text or emails unless you turn the volume up when you get out of the truck.  This is why the calls are missed.  I have not found any setting on the truck or my iphone to change this.

Oh, ok, I understand, the way I read it is when you're connected to bluetooth you've missed calls. I didn't realize when you've left the vehicle. Sorry, my misunderstand.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
