  1. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 2 Volt
    I have a Chevy Volt 2017 (Gen 2) and an iPhone 13. Sometimes, when I connect my iPhone to a lightning cable with USB port into Chevy Volt, and I try to play audio from my iPhone, the audio does not play through the Chevy Volt speakers. Instead, the audio plays from the speaker on the iPhone...
  2. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I've had this issue for a long time but I never think about it when I'm in a position to write it up, until now, for some reason. As far as I can tell, my iPhone communicates perfectly via Bluetooth with my 2013 Volt, except for one thing: when I'm using the iPhone's Maps app to help me...
  3. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 2 Volt
    I wanted to let iPhone users know that the "Afterblow" control function was added to the MyVoltControl app with yesterday's release (version 1.3). (MyVoltAfterblow has been available in the Google Play Store for quite some time.) In case you don't know what "Afterblow" is, it’s a system that GM...
  4. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    My iPhone launches CarPlay in my Volt about a third of the time. (The Infotainment screen remains on Projector.) I have to turn on and off the car multiple times until it will finally connects... and often it just won't. I've tried restarting the phone, plugging and unplugging it, replacing the...
  5. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    In my Gen1 volt I had a dashboard mount for my iPhone, and I plugged it into power only, not into the USB connector (I put my music on a USB Flash drive and left that in the car, so my music was always there). With my iPhone mounted up on the dash, signal strength was good. I'm now driving a...
  6. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    I have a 2014 Volt and my 3 free years of Onstar just ended. I did not renew it. Today, I tried to make a call through my bluetooth connection with Volt and instead of putting the call through my speakers, I got a loop recording telling me to press the blue button to renew Onstar. A second...

    I get a popping sound when playing anything over Bluetooth for about the first minute or so after my iPhone 7+ connects. Then it goes away. The position of the phone in the car doesn't seem to make any difference. Is anyone else experiencing this, and do I just have to put up with it?
  8. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    I have a 2012 Volt, and the only thing I ever listen to through the stereo system is music or podcasts from my phone. I plug directly in via USB...which is typically very slick. However, since I've updated my phone (iPhone 5S) to the latest OS (iOS 8.4), this functionality no longer works. If...
  9. Chevy Volt News, Reviews & Events
    I've been dealing with iPhone/radio issues since I got my 2013 in Sept. 2012. I worked with infotainment for over a month and the only solution was to get a 2014 or newer car :( Basically when I pair the phone, and try to use Siri to play music, sometimes it works, sometimes the radio hangs...
  10. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    Another year, another new iPhone and another new OS version - and again, its Bluetooth doesn't work properly with my 2013 Volt. The device seems to pair just fine, and the music functions work correctly. But here's where it gets weird: when the phone connects/the car is started, the display on...
  11. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    I have an iPhone 5 (running iOS 7.1.2) paired to my 2014 Volt with navigation. Everything works as expected, but several times just after startup, I've had the car spontaneously try to call my own cell phone. The fan slows down, the radio mutes, the screen in the center stack says it's calling...
  12. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    Hello forum members - I'm a new Volt owner as of January. Since upgrading Stitcher to version 6.0 (iPhone), it no longer works through the Infotainment center. The symptom: After selecting Stitcher from the Home screen, then pressing "Allow" on the iPhone, the app starts up on the phone, then...
  13. Software & Programming/Code - Chevy Volt
    In January I replaced my 2011 Volt with a new 2014. Overall I'm delighted with the electronic enhancements. However, I can't seem to make the navigation system download addresses from my iPhone to the car. When I touch Destination and select phone book all of my contacts are there, but the car...
  14. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Hey All, I'm having an odd problem... the VOLT isn't integrating properly with my iphone. After indexing, it shows differing counts for my songs, genres, playlists, etc. I have 4000 songs on my iphone, but the interface shows 10000 (the max.) 86 playlists (shows 106) 300 artists (shows 500)...
  15. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Hi everyone! I'm a First-time poster. I'm hoping you can help me before I trade the Volt in for a skateboard. So the Husband and I have owned a 2012 Volt since last June. I've got mixed opinions on it, I feel like I'm basically driving an iPod. However, we're having an issue that I can't seem...
  16. Software & Programming/Code - Chevy Volt
    I've had my volt for 6 months now, the Bluetooth issue always bothered me, at first I thought its a compatibility issue with iPhone 5. Until recently I changed to Samsung Note II, the exact same problem still exists, I'm starting to question if my car has a defect. I don't see any talk about...

    Does anyone know of an app that can be used with an iPhone v6.0.1 that blocks texts while driving?

  19. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    After months of searching for the best solution to my lack of stereo Bluetooth and desire to easily control my iPhone using Siri in the Volt, I have finally found it and would like to share this information with any other Volt driver who opted for Nav and therefore wishes they had a viable...
