When streaming from my phone through the truck speakers, it randomly for no known reason stops playing. Sometimes it kicks back in but most of the time it does not. All I see on the display is the spinning circle like it is buffering. Same result if I use Bluetooth or carplay. Anyone know what is going on or how to fix it? 2018 Sierra elevation edition

 

thanks

Welcome to the site.

 

Just guesses, is there an update waiting for your truck in MYLink settings?

Maybe unpair your phone (forget this device in settings), unpair it from the truck's settings, then re pair them like a factory reset. 

Are updates on your iPhone current?

When I use CarPlay, which is every time I drive, I found it works better if I "forget" the bluetooth connection to the infotainment system.
Heck, I'm using CarPlay, I don't need the Bluetooth connection.

Software is up to date on the phone and the truck. Just tried unpairing and reinstalling. Same result. Hmmm

Does it do it on all "sources" that you use on the Bluetooth connection? 

Meaning Pandora, IHeart, as examples. I know from my own experience, some apps are not that good to listen too, always refreshing, shutting down and all the other fun technology stuff.

This. If your music isn’t downloaded to your phone and you run into a dead zone, it will sit and try to load. My fiancé has to deal with that whether she’s using Bluetooth or android auto. My music is downloaded on my phone so it’s not an issue for me.

      I love my truck but

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
