Radio source changed after call

heffneil · March 21, 2023

Hey all,

I am listening to Sirius XM and I make or receive a call. After I hang up I have no radio and when I go to the media the source is set to Apple.Carplay or something like that. I have to manually switch the dropdown to go to Sirius to listen to what I was using previously. I don't know if there is some setting - but I obviously want to be able to make and receive calls with the bluetooth / in car system but it should go back to where it was?! Does anyone else notice this problem? Thanks!

I have the same problem. If I'm listening to the radio or Sirius, and I receive a text, it switches to Source:Carplay and Apple Music to whatever I happened to be listening to previously on the phone. I also have the same problem as you, heffneil, after a call.

Also, every time i get in the truck, the radio says 'Loading...." forever until I hit the up or down channel button behind the steering wheel and only then will it start playing.

My dealer has no idea, GM customer service has no idea, and OnStar has no idea.

Thank for the response you have confirmed I am not crazy - at least not from that.

I believe you need to have your software version updated I had mine done yesterday tons of bug fixes!

Although I wasn't having this issue I believe it was on the list of things it fixed. I had mine updated at the dealer because I was not getting over the air updates current version is 167.4.2

Thanks I will check. I wonder because I check for updates often.

I was checking all the time also never got one OTA

The Google thing was driving me nuts. I opted not to continue with the outrageous data plan, as I have everything on my phone. Now, every time i get in the car, I get: You do not have Google. Would you like Google? Are you sure you don't want Google? Have you checked with your wife to see if she wants Google......

I finally figured out to go to settings>Apps and disabled everything Google. Then no radio, no Sirius, etc.

I think I turned Google keyboard back on. Seems to not bug me now.

One other thing, HUD speeds signs are just a white box now that I don't have a data plan. You can turn it off in the dashboard settings but it comes back after every restart.

Hopefully the above update will fix that. I'll try. Thanks for the heads up.

I have this too, drives me crazy. You can use the right switch on the front of the steering wheel to change the source in the DIC. It’s much easier and quicker than using the main screen

heffneil · March 30, 2023

I will have to try this. I don't know if I have that source button on my steering wheel! I will look.

i don't have a source button on my steering wheel unless I've really gotten old and missed it?

2023 denali. These model years and features are all screwy. My salesman said oh they removed the wireless charger, I put my phone down and it worked and he said OH wow! The back door handles don't have unlock buttons even though my buddies 2019 has them? Seems strange but I guess this is the post pandemic age.

Your source buttons are the right hand DIC D-Pad buttons. Scroll over to media in the DIC and you can adjust your source there

Most GM's will unlock the door if the door handle us pulled twice.

Not sure if the refresh does that, but it's been a GM thing for decades.

If locked

- first pull unlocks

- 2nd pull opens
