On my 2017 2500HD, whenever I would get a text on my phone, it would give me a notification on the center console that "so n so" is texting and then I could enter in on it to hear the message.  In my new 2020 2500HD, I do not receive the message when my phone is texted.  The bluetooth on my phone is set to send messages to MyGMC app on the truck so Im not sure what the issue is.  Any advise??

I only get texts when plugged into the androidAuto app and not through the bluetooth. Buddy with a 19 1/2 ton has an app that manages messages. My 20 HD does not have that app.

Exactly!  The guys at the dealership are trying to figure it out but I guess they did away with that capability.  That is a real pain in the butt for me because I use that feature constantly while on the road.

How do you at least get text messages through the AndroidAuto app? I bought one of those charging/data cables with the magnet end and that works pretty good to stay connected without having to plug and unplug the cord all the time.

 

Some people have been able to add the Messaging App back after it was removed... worth a try. I was going to try after I write down my VIN for the email request.

Yeah I think most of the magnet cords have been charge only, but I searched until I found a data and charge magnetic cord which cost a little more on Amazon. It doesn't fast charge my Google Pixel 2 XL though. https://smile.amazon.com/Magnetic-MAGNITTO-Pack，3-3-Straight-Cable，6-6/dp/B07W4XRYKY?ref_=ast_sto_dp

 

I did get a text message while using Android Auto. It is all voice read text and voice reply right?

Did anyone figure this out?  My 2016 Camaro displayed and read my text messages, but my new 2019 Silverado does not?  I haven't tried Android Auto, but I'm guessing that's what they want us to use instead of the bluetooth capability that was offered in previous years.

I've spoken to owners of other brands of new vehicles and they have same issue. When the phone is connected to Bluetooth, they don't get text notifications on the infotainment screen. Only way they get them is to have the phone plugged in and be using Android Auto or Apple Car Play. Not sure which year that really took off, but my 17 was fine.

My 2020 Sierra 2500HD Denali does the same.  New software from previous models.  There are a handful of changes that are on the frustrating side.  This one definitely being one of them.

I'm sure an insurance company would find an uncoerced confession like this to be very useful.

Best of luck. ?

I got a message using Android Auto and through Facebook Messenger that it read for me.

 

Does anyone know how to get other apps like Life360 to work with Android Auto and show the map?

Confession to what?  It's a hands off application.  In GA, as long as you're not actively using your phone with your hands your fine.

Well to be honest.  If you can't press a button on your dash, something done in a barrage of unrelated situations (not related to Android Auto)  while driving a vehicle, then there is a good possibility your ability to engage in tasks while driving is drastically impaired and you shouldn't be behind the wheel at all.  That being said, I'm a huge proponent of no texting while driving hence why I'm also a huge proponent of applications that give you tools to not keep your eyes on your phone while driving.  Hell, maybe we should stop allowing people to switch the SiriusXM stations as well, same gesture as listening to a text message via Android Auto!

      ‘25 Silverado purchase- back to dealership for bumper/radio issue

      By Atomicgrl · Posted

      The no sound problem is the audio amplifier. The audio amp has a heatsoak issue in some circuitry which causes it to miss the wakeup handhake. If it doesn't respond within a certain time parameter, then you get no sound. I brought it in and had the software update, but after further testing the tech made the call for a new audio amplifer. The software update I belive gives more time for the amp to respond, but if the amp is defective then you can still get no audio at times. After the update it went 12 days before no sound. After doing some research, apparently the fix is a new (updated) audio amplifer, the circuitry internally has been improved to better deal with heat. I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks because at the time, it was on backorder with no eta. Well the amp came in earlier this week. I had the amp and programming work done today. After picking it up I stopped at a few places, and whenever I started my truck, the audio was on instantly, so whatever they did it appears to work because it's never had sound that quickly......Hope this helps

      Make sure the latch mechanism is properly greased. Look at the catch for fresh marks/scratches. And see if it has moved a little, too.

      Thoughts on these wheels?

      By PBNB · Posted

      I have the 18" black mutilspoke wheels that came with my truck. I like them as they are very subdued and look good with the 295/70's    I am sure that the next set of wheels I get will be some after market all black wheels. Or maybe some AT4X wheels.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Interesting question which you partly answered in the word 'potentially'. I think that is going to be a 'point of reference' inquiry. What are the touchstones?    This will sound petty but it is the main source of end fighting in threads on this topic. Define a motors "Life". Think about the various arguments that have been entertained on these pages in that very argument.    I can only speak from my viewpoint. Engine "Life" in my world is defined by power cylinder integrity. For the majority of engines it is the bore/ring interface that quits first. Loss of seal. Oil consumption and loss of power. Most Pro motor builders would agree and there is a good deal of information on using "Leak Down" as a primary indicator of bore integrity. At home a compression test is more the thing. If we can agree on that then I think CC Jensen has done its homework and I'd find it valid.    Now by my own definition, Dizzy, wife's Ecotec 2.4 I-4 has been dead since about 80K miles. And yet we have logged over 200K miles more on it. "Life" and "Usefulness" are therefore independent.      I know a mature fella right now who has just hit 300K on a Mitsubishi 3A92 NA MPFI motor and has done compression test every 100K. It was 205 psi after break in and is now about 195 and still even. He uses shelf oil but good filters and adheres to a 3K mile OCI. He even do UOA's on each of them for the first 50K.      I also know a fleet mechanic with that same motor that gets 300 to 500 K out of them but the are oil using, wristpin sloppy, skirt slapping motors. He ran one with a piston pin so loose the piston was bouncing off the cylinder head for about 20K miles before he called TOD. Both of them claim success.
