Contacts from phone not syncing

Issue I have is the contacts sync so I can search and call people. Though if one of them call me their name does not pair with the contact in the system. They have to be a favorite first. 
 

My overall impression of the infotainment system is... that it just plain sucks. It’s clunky, freezes, does whatever it wants to and will respond after a few seconds. The steering wheel controls have a mind of their own. And something new... I’m currently waiting to pick up my lunch and after turning off my truck, when I got out the radio is still on now. Hope that doesn’t turn into an issue.

Mine hasn’t synced with my iPhone for months. Just stopped a few months back.    I tried everything. Unpair, re-pair, etc etc. When I try to initiate the sync from the truck, nothing happens. W

I was having this problem until today. Seems the newest IOS 13.4 update fixed mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just picked up a new AT4 HD on May 19/20. $92700(Canadian) truck. Infotainment system sucks balls. My wife and kids listen to me better. Not a happy customer.

Same for me. Sometimes they are all there, sometimes not. My advisor is going to synch my truck to GMC to see if that does the trick.

Interesting. My sales guy (yesterday) said they will sync, it just won't remember them and I'll have to re-sync every time I connect. Sounds fishy.

It is fishy and he’s full of $hit.

Other than replacing the radio, has anyone else gotten any resolution to this? I just bought a new 2020 Cadillac XT4 and noticed only about 40 of my phones contacts are showing up. I never had this issue with my Lincoln so it's pretty frustrating.

Figured it out for Android. If you have had several  Chevrolet or GM vehicles, make sure your connecting via the correct device interface in your phone. 

Go to settings.

Hold down or left click the "Bluetooth" bar, not the toggle switch but the bar itself. 

A list of devices should pop up.

Select "MyChevrolet"

A list should pop up. 

Make sure switch is turned on for "Sync Contacts"

Voila

I had this same issue initially in my 2021 Silverado.  Worked on bluetooth but wouldn't sync contacts.  Had to remove connections, unpair, etc and then reboot my phone.  Worked flawless after that and haven't had a problem since.

I have a similar but different issue. My 2019 Sierra Denali has not problem syncing my contacts using my Android Samsung Phone but my issue is that I have to enable my contacts sync feature on my phone every time I step in the car otherwise it automatically switches to OFF and it won't sync. I am going crazy trying to figure a way to keep this feature to stay ON (enabled) all the time w/o me having to switching ON all the time.

Anybody with this same issue and a solution? Please advise

 

Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      In their own words:    https://blog.amsoil.com/how-engine-sludge-forms-and-how-to-prevent-it-2/   [Quote] Synthetic Oil Helps Prevent Sludge Fortunately, sludge and varnish deposits are something that can be controlled. Using thermally stable synthetic base oils reduces the rate of degradation (oxidation).   Antioxidant additives further help reduce the rate of degradation. One of the most widely used is zinc dithiophosphate. Not only is it an excellent oxidation inhibitor, but it is also an outstanding anti-wear additive.   High-Quality Additives Fight Sludge Fortunately, it is possible to address many of the issues that occur after the initial oxidation stage. Additives, such as detergents and dispersants, help promote the suspension of contaminants within the oil and keep them from agglomerating.   Detergents, which are also alkaline in nature, assist in neutralizing acids generated in the sludge-building process. Antioxidant, dispersant and detergent additives are consumed during use.   To achieve maximum life expectancy, use a motor oil with high concentrations of antioxidant, dispersant and detergent additives.  [End Quote]   So quality base oil and then the last sentence above. TBN and ZDP levels matter. The one thing not covered was sufficient viscosity. Sad.     And yet we now have since API SN lower amount of them all with the only real change being a slight up tick in base oil selection. Along with lower concentrations of everything that makes oil work and lower and lower viscosity there is still an insistence on longer OCI's.    How low does the peanut butter and jelly level have to get before we say it's just white bread folded?    The new smoke and mirror treatment is the 'additives are INVISIBLE' to UOA testing with a health dose of TRUST ME.    I'm not picking on AMSOIL. This is coming from all of them. Every last one of them that abandon the low wear model in favor of the high mpg/EPA compliance model.

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.
