2019 silverado LTZ,  I have pretty much experienced this since new.  With both my samsung s9 plus and now with my s10 plus 90 percent of the time when I plug my phone cord into android auto it kicks my radio or xm off and android auto pulls up. I have to go back to the home screen and pick what I was listening to again and its only about half volume.  If I unplug the cord and plug it back in the volume comes back up to normal what I have it at volume.  Sometimes it takes 3-8 times unplugging it for it to work right again.  Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it or if I am doing something wrong? Dealer has checked for updates and there are none.  I have googled it over and over and can not find anything but one google help forum that someone posted the same problem but no one has responded him either. Thanks for any help.

My 2019 High Country just started something like that. If my radio is on [XM] and I plug my Note20 in [Android 10 UI 2.5, Nov 2020 Sec Update, Sprint] at a certain volume, the volume cuts down a good bit. Unplug the cable and

the volume returns to normal. The phone is also paired to the vehicle at the time this happens. Have not tried another cable,  phone or disconnecting the bluetooth.

Does your AA ever randomly disconnect? My 2020 Sierra Denali does it at least 5-6 times a trip. I also have a Note20.

I did try all that and still does it.

No when I use it most is on 4-6 hour trips. It never disconnects just the volume thing is all it does.

I noticed over the weekend if I go down my notification list on my phone and cancel the notification that says android auto is using gps that the volume comes right back to normal. So it looks like it has to do with it using gps. Has no one else had this issue?

Shot in the dark but did you try to disable  "absolute volume" on the Galaxy? I had some odd issues when playing music with bluetooth. I activated the "disable absolute volume" on the Galaxy (S-8) and it cured my issue. (issues were volume related, changing volume on radio also changed volume on phone) The "absolute volume" toggle is in settings under developer options.

I found it and turned it on and will try it tonight and report back. Thanks for the tip.

Only experienced the volume issue, never disconnecting. As for the volume, make sure you set the volume up on your phone also. If you have the volume set low or off it will affect how it sounds thru connectivity. Have Moto G7 power.

I tested it over the weekend and with the toggled it still does it...

Where are these settings located?

Depending on your Android version, but volume up or down and then the site to expand the volume options. If you don't see it there then hit the gear icon after you hit the arrow.

      AFM Experience

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
