I've noticed that when I'm listening to the radio or satellite radio, I don't hear my phone notifications. The phone is connected using Bluetooth but if I'm not listening to music via Bluetooth, I don't hear my phone notifications for text, email etc. Phone calls worry though.

Are you using and Android phone?  After I connected my phone to my truck for Android Auto, my phone would prompt me that Android Auto support was near by even when I was only using bluetooth for audio and phone.  When it did that, my phone no longer alerted me to anything other than a phone call while in the truck.  My smart watch would alert me but the phone would be silent.  I disabled Android Auto on my phone and the alerts started working again.

Same here, disabled Android Auto on mine for the same reason. I had to get my truck to FORGET the phone and reset it, otherwise it would keep trying to get my phone via Bluetooth. Very annoying.

It's is a 2020 Sierra SLT so no wireless Android Auto. When I do use it, using a cable, notifications work fine. It's when I listen to the radio or satellite, the phone still connects via Bluetooth but notification sound don't play since I'm listening to something other than Bluetooth audio.

Go into your Bluetooth and hit the Gear icon next to the Silverado connection. Turn off Audio and you'll hear the notifications. The phone is sending the notifications through the Bluetooth connection. You'll need to re-enable Audio the same way if you want to listen to Bluetooth audio.

The 2019+ trucks do not support notifications through Bluetooth. Only through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. GM discontinued notifications through Bluetooth. Some early 2019 models had it though.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
