Audio Won't turn on
Started the car up, and got an OnStar message about some BS, and then my audio won't work. My radio doesn't work, my bluetooth doesn't work, nothing.
When I turn the volume dial, it says it is changind the phone volume - even when there is no phone connected. The volume is not muted, but the HUD says "Audio Off" and even has the speaker with a marked out symbol. What gives? Anyone else experience this? For what it's worth, I left the car, set the alarm, and got back in. The problem was still there. I will try to disconnect the battery if it persists. Then, it goes to the dealer. |

somehow your car is stuck in phone mode, mess with the wheel buttons for phone...but yeah, a 20 min disconnect should get it...

This happened to alot of us last month. Turn the car off, then restart it. It's a glitch in the OnStar promotion

It seems that shutting the car off for a few minutes fixed the problem. This should be fixed, though. I also find that my iPod randomly can't be found as a device, and it is slow to skip between .mp3s

I had the same issue today! , on star message then my radio stopped working. Not sure if anyone else has this but the power to the radio and lighting wouldn't shut off also , I went into trunk and unhooked negative to battery and everything went back to normal. Going to take in for first service this week coming see if there's any service bulletin. Hopefully isn't going to be a consistent issue thinking about shutting on star off!.

I was actually going to come here and post this question. I was out and about today and when I came out of the store I got into my car and the Onstar promotion came on. When it was over I made a phone call and after I was finished I went to turn on my radio. Nothing. Phone volume was what it showed when I turned up the volume on my radio. I tried turning blu tooth off, I turned the phone off. Turned the car off and restarted it and nothing. When I got home I let the car sit for about an hour and I went back out and tried it and the radio was fine.

It is the Onstar promotion...the Onstar rep told me there will probably be other promotion messages....I told them to shut off my Onstar even though I am still in the "free" period. I will say the rep did have me press some button/symbol on the mirror and it disconnected the call and everything returned to normal.
They refused to shut Onstar down and said they will "opt out" my car from receiving promotion messages. I hate, hate, hate Onstar.

Did they just start doing these promotion messages? I had Onstar in my 2013 Camaro and this is the first time I've heard one.

I picked up my car on December 5th and haven't received any promotional message. For people that received it, did ur dealer push the OnStar button when u were leaving with the car to make sure someone spoke to u and set up ur account? Mine did

Also I told them not to send me any more unsolicited messages. So far, haven't received any. We'll see... |
