Hi, when my iPhone 11 connects to the infotainment center via bluetooth, my Contacts appear but my Favorites do not.

 

Is there something I have to do to make them load?

 

Thanks for the help!

You might try disconnecting your phone from your vehicle, then delete the pairing and in your bluetooth section of the phone, FORGET the MYCHEVROLET. Then shut the phone and vehicle off for 30 seconds or so, restart everything and repair the phone to the MYCHEVROLET. I use an iPhone, after pairing you have to go into the bluetooth section on the phone to the MYCHEVROLET connection and enable the favorites. I have added a picture of what that looks like on the phone. Maybe this will help you, not sure but mine works.

I want to follow up on this and tell you how to manually enter your favorites.

 

They can be manually entered by going thru the truck's touchscreen, opening up "Contacts" then push the star next to each contact you want to have in your "Favorites".

 

Depending on how many Favorites you have, it may be a little time consuming, but at least you'll have them!

Does doing this prevent the sync issue with those that are flagged as favorites?

Have a dumb question on this.  Does anyone's favorites actually sync with iPhone currently, with latest iOS?  It looks to me to be possible, however, not designed this way.  I spent this afternoon toying with it and there appears to be no link to the iphone and the favorites between the truck and/or the iphone.  Seem to be independent as in I have favorites on the iphone but they don't sync.  I can add favorites on the Chevy manually, but they don't sync back to the iphone.  IE the feature is broken.

 

But it looks to me like it is not setup to work this way from Chevy and only the ability to add favorites which is successful manually.  The iphone is set to sync them through Bluetooth, but I think Chevy doesn't have a provision for it in the entertainment.  Maybe it was possible previously and Chevy accidentally nixed this feature?  What I'm asking for is if anyone can confirm it's working on iOS.

I have the same issue. It’s not that my favorites don’t show up as favorites in the truck....my iPhone favorites don’t even sync as contacts! If while driving I disconnect and reconnect it sometimes works.

Just be glad your contacts sync. Mine stopped after about 2 months and haven’t come back. 

I have this issue as well, the phone number shows up but not the name of the contact.  However I have not tried to repair my phone with the truck to see if that fixes it.  I guess the important thing is that I recognize my wife's number so I know not to ignore it! ?

AT least you get that.  When I'm connected to bluetooth, or through carplay, i can only use hands free if I hold the steering wheel button down and use Siri, the truck doesn't recognize anything.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
