 I have a 2019 Blazer and this happens everytime I entered the vehicle.  I have an iPhone Xs and am running iOS 13.3.  My husband just bought a 2020 Silverado and his iPhone Xs doesn't do this.  He is also running 13.3.  Did they fix the problem with the 2020's?  I hate having to remember to turn my volume back up when I leave the car.  It does this no matter if using bluetooth or carplay.

I have a 2020 GMC 2500 HD Denali and it does the same thing—turns my phone to mute or zero bars of volume.   Called the “specialist” at GMC and they had no answer, and acted like it I was the first person to ever have this problem.  Seems to be some glitchy issues with this system, as it also fails to download all my contacts.

this doesn't work for me...i've tried it multiple times when people call but it still reverts back to lowering the volume next time i start it...

 


Yes.

When your phone connects via Bluetooth, you adjust the phone ringtone volume with the trucks volume controls. As your phone is ringing in the truck, turn the volume up to your desired level. Once that setting is set, it will stay at that level every time to connect to the vehicle. Your phone will still show that the volume is low but the truck ringtone will be at the level you set it at.

I keep my iPhone on silent mode all the time but as soon as it connects to the truck, my normal ringtone will play through the trucks speakers at the volume I set with the trucks volume controls.

Same problem here.  
I have a 2019 GMC Sierra.   Bluetooth is turned on ( IPhone 11.  Software 13.3), every time I leave the truck, sound bar goes to 0.  I even had the phone replaced!   
I’ve spoken to Apple and we went through numerous “fixes” but nothing works.  Allie said that it was a GMC problem.  Really a pain to remember to reset the phone upon leaving the truck

I have an iphone 8 plus and the volume thing happens in my 20 SLT all the time. I guess your husband is one of the lucky ones.

I called Onstar about this and was told that it is a problem with the radio and the dealer's service department will have to make adjustments to your radio.

I have the exact same issue.  I bought a 2020 AT4  a couple of weeks ago and have this issue every time.  I called Apple and they said it's a problem with the vehicle, not the phone.  Anyone found a fix yet?

I just got off a chat with GM Support.  "This is not a known issue or common problem that has been reported."  Please everyone go to the GMC or Chevy website, go to support, and chat with them or send them the issue.  They aren't going to fix it unless we all start raising hell about it.

That’s bull. They know about it and there is no fix other than changing the setting on the IPhone that locks out the side buttons for ringer volume. It’s a well known issue that all dealers are aware of.

I've had the ringer volume turned down even with the side buttons disabled.  I recently switched to an iPhone from Android and the first time it happened, I couldn't figure out how to turn the ringer volume back up because the side buttons were disabled.  On Android when you change the volume with the side button, you can expand the volume level icon pop-up and individually change the volume of the ringer, alerts, and media.  Had to have my 10 year old teach me the ways of iOS...

 

I will go to GM Support today to report the issue.

Just got off the Support Chat.  Was given instructions to 'reset' my radio and told if that didn't work to take it to a dealer.

I am currently on chat support with GMC and here is what they told me. I have a 2019 GMC Sierra Denali 1500. Really GM????

It seems that the Infotainment system supports only selected iPhones, and XS is not yet compatible with it which could be the reason why the issue with the volume keeps on happening.

Sounds like a cop out to me.  I have the latest iPhone and a 2020 GMC...how are the latest of both tools not compatible?  What a bunch of crap.

Right? The iPhone Xs came out before the 2019 GMC. I never had this issue on my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT that I had before my 2019 Denali. Why can't they just look in their software to figure it out. It isn't an Apple issue, it is a GMC issue.

    • When I had a Bumper subscription for a few days when I needed to run title histories on cars I was looking at, I decided to look up a few of my old/past vehicles.   My 2015 Silverado was still actively registered and it last sold in 2024 with 160k on the clock. No idea if that's on the original engine but someone's keeping it on the road or the original AFM stuff is still going.   It used 0w20. I remember feeding it Mobil 0w20 AFE for the first 30k of its life on <5k OCI's.     Edit: Just did a nationwide search on Autotrader for 2015-2025 Silverados with 5.3's and sorted by highest mileage first.   357k 352k 292k 291k 290k 277k 271k 268k 266k 259k 256k   High mileage on a modern 5.3 doesn't seem all that uncommon, but that's just searching mostly dealer ads on Autotrader. FB Marketplace has all kinds of high mileage 5.3's going back to 2007    
    • I can't say I have ever heard of someone getting that type of mileage out of a set of tires even though they rotated on a regular basis but without a doubt if the front end gets wear and those tires are no longer able to track straight it scrubs them off, and driving style and road surface make a huge difference as well.    However that is not what prompted me to comment as it was the new tire theme of sitting in storage waiting to be used scenario. I am sure some tires can last for quite a while in storage if its not too warm and out of the sunlight but unfortunately some tires the way they their rubber compound is formulated they can age and dry out even in a reasonably decent storage location. My brother ran into this maybe three years ago when he was looking at the tires that were on his dually truck and a combination of wear on the rear ones and noticing that the front tires had some cracks around the sidewall of the tire not far from the bead but he had replaced only the front ones not long ago with 2 of the remaining 6 he had left from the initial two sets of takeoffs he had all bought at the same time .... 10 years ago ! ( the years fly by, a truck that only gets used a bit to haul a camper during the summer and sits in a shed for a large part of the year ). That second set of 6 tires, two he had put on the front prior like I said and they had very little wear but those cracks were now present. So we go into the shed where the other 4 tires had been stored all this time and every one of them had the same cracks in the sidewalls and so in the end it amounted to throwing away 6 brand new but 10 year old takeoff tires into the dump that he got a deal on at a tire shop because they aged out. They were a Ford factory equipment BFG tire and those tires did not age well compared to some tires I've seen far older then that and did not show that type of aging. True, they always say up here anyway that 7 years is sort of a limit for age by rights, we don't have the intense prolonged heat that many of you have down in the states that just cook tires and depends on where the vehicle sits when not in use. GB, another words maybe had you bought a set of tires to store it would have been fine as long as you used them up fast enough but there are no guarantees when it comes to rubber, tires or of that other type stored in some guys wallets 😆
    • 2020 2500 HD...I had some trouble getting the key into the ignition switch but went in fine after applying some extra effort. Since then, the door chimes when open when the key is out of the ignition. Also, when I lock the doors with the switch on the arm rest, the driver door locks but then unlocks. (I can lock everything fine with the fob) The message on the little screen displays the "Engine Hours"...kinda weird.   I'm guessing something happened to the ignition switch and it thinks the key is still in there. I unplugged the batteries for 20 minutes, no change. There are a number of videos on YouTube but nothing I can find that address this specific issue. Ideas appreciated, thank you.

After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.
    • Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.
