help with my link radio

is anyone having problems with their mylink radio? i have a 013 camaro and within the 1st week my radio started blinking and would not let me change to any stations. i was told the radio had a defect, and they kept my car 2 days. they replaced the radio and not even 1 week has gone by and its doing it again? could it be the system (radio) or have they sold me a new car with wiring problems? any help is and will be greatly appreciated.

I've had my 13 1LT for about two months and haven't had any problems.
It sounds like there is a wiring issue other than the radio itself.

Mines kind of bugy, likes to drop bluetooth, not hook up pandora, show me the bluetooth audio when I click I pandora, play 0andora when o click bluetooth audio, but it only happens pwriodically, and sometimes I wonder if ita my phone or the mylink. The only one of tjose I can say fpr sure is the mylinkbis the showing vluetooth audio when I clixk pandora. Nothing crazy thoufh, andbit happens so little (and usually fixes itself after a couple of minutes) so I havent worried too much about it. But it does irritate me.

I figured out that it was indeed my iPhone 5 that scews up my mylink radio. Soon as i connect it either by blutooth or USB, it blinks out and restarts about every 5 min until i disconnect it. Hasnt done it now in about 3 weeks. (Oh and i do have an iPod touch connected by USB at all times with NO issuses). Strange I know, but it definatly is my phone.

I have had absolutely zero issues with mine. My phone is always bluetoothed, I use a USB stick with a bunch of music on it, stream from Pandora and IHeartradio. No lag, no dropped calls ever. It has always worked great for me. My car was built in March so maybe it has different software then some of you that have been having issues?

Poor sound quality, bad quality speakers poor backup camera with no visual queues.
Bluetooth having to be toggled on and off on 5 different phones all high end androids on jelly bean to get music streaming to work.

Poor navigation and over half the v system requires an xm and onstar account to use half the features.
Poor usb issues and horrible ipod integration clumsy interface.
And in a car that cost me 50k I demand better.
Worst car high end system I have ever used in any car period.

That's an Android issue.


And audio in general is subjective. The BA sound quality is superior to the generic radio in my Toyota and the Monsoon system in the wifes Grand Prix. And as much as I liked the Bose system in my Silverado, the BA system is at least equal.
