  1. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Whenever I intend to use the Bluetooth option in my Volt, the car starts with the annoying FM radio blaring. When I remove my iPhone from the Volt's Bluetooth memory and use the Aux jack instead with a DAP (digital audio player), I am greeted with a silent startup experience because the Volt...
  2. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    I’ve read through some similar issues, but nothing matched mine exactly. My Infotainment and radio suddenly won’t work at all. The power button illuminates, but that’s it. My blinker also suddenly makes no noise, but still blinks. My backup camera still comes on the screen, so the screen...
  3. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    Bought a 2014 Volt just over three years ago with about 75k miles (much fewer on gas). In hindsight, there were some electrical/infotainment problems immediately, like the Bluetooth only connecting sometimes, and the rear camera only coming up on screen like 75% of the time or less. I naively...

    Has anyone ever tried splicing into the stock head unit's "video output" signals? I'm wanting to ditch the outdated head unit and replace it with an Android tablet. I know people have used dongles and piggyback systems in the past. However, they just simply provide a new screen that hosts...

    I recently added Carplay to my 2013 Chevy Volt using this kit from Ensight. I love it and it was so easy to install, however, I'm running into a strange issue I can't figure out. The audio over the wireless carplay sounds not good. It's like everything is going through my tweeters and there's no...
  6. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Just a quick post of information I learned JUST NOW as I'm trying to repair a broken connection between my 2013 Volt's radio and its antenna. The connection that attaches to the radio uses a Fakra A connector. The cable itself is rg316 coax. Correction: this appears to be an RG58 cable, I...
  7. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    We have a 2012 Volt (non-Premium) edition that has been wonderful, but the service experience at several Florida dealerships has been scandalously inept to downright engaging in a fundraiser. In each of these cases, 15 minutes with A+ Certified Mechanic Google got me to the solution while I was...

    I’m seeing these 10” Tesla style radio screens everywhere, does anyone know if any of them would work with a 2015 chevy?
  9. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 2 Volt
    I recently purchased a 2017 used Volt. Very impressive car, it's 3 years old and I get 55 miles on battery. I now think America owes an apology to the whole Volt team. In any case, what I'm writing about today is I found the control screen positioning, which is tilted upward and fixed, often...

    DIC problem - No tire pressure read out and FM goes to "88" and AM goes to "530" Bought new 2018 Volt in Sept. About 10,500 miles. This started about a week ago. Took it into the dealer early AM, got free loaner car - end of day -- they are online with GM and don't know what's up. These things...
  11. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the answers to these questions that I had. Nothing super critical, but the manual doesn't explain well and I called GM Infotainment and they were not able to answer. 1) How do you store favorites to your phones' artists/albums/songs/playlists/podcasts. The...

    Hey guys! I'm looking to source the GVIF cable found in the schematic below: I know the connector is made by JAE and I'm pretty sure it's the MX38 Series found below: http://www.jae.com/jccom/en/connectors/detail/MX38 I can't find it anywhere. I can find right angle PCB connectors, but I...
  13. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I would appreciate some advice / experience with a strange problem that I'm having with the center entertainment / navigation / display unit in my MY 2013 Volt. The car has navigation and Bose sound. Everything had been working fine until 2 weeks ago. Now the central unit responds very slowly...
  14. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    Since I bought my 2013 (two years ago) I’ve used the same USB stick which contained all my music. A few times I’ve re-synced the stick with my PC as I’ve updated my collection. I use Windows Media Player 12 (Win 10) to transfer the music files and SyncPlaylist to sync the playlists (playlists...
  15. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    Took delivery in early July 2016, and besides a couple of software updates, I've experienced three issues all covered under warranty over the 24k miles I've driven. The 12-volt battery died. This was the worst problem because it wouldn't start and had to be flatbedded to dealer. Then, the...
  16. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I bought my Volt 2014 from USA and found a strange glitch in the radio: I can tune to odd frequencies (such as 101.9 FM), but cannot tune to even ones (such as 101.8 FM). The problem is that most FM stations have even frequencies, and I cannot listen them. Please help me to fix this.
  17. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    Just wondering if anyone else has tried this, and if it worked for you: For my 2017 Volt LT, I have "Number of Favorites Shown" = 35 (under Radio settings). If I select "Manage Settings" to rearrange the favorites, it shows the first 15 favorites. I am unable to navigate to the next screen of...

    I can set my first 10 radio presets but I cant for 11 to 15 (3rd row). Any suggestions? - 2017 Gen 2
  19. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I have always had something other than a stock radio so I simply couldn’t stand the Non Bose stock deal any longer. First thing I did was add an 8” powered Bazooka and tapped off of the rear passenger speaker wires at the post. For power I added an inline fuse to the existing fuse block on...

    Frequently my radio gets muted and I am unable to unmute it. A message indicates an active phone call yet my phone is off. I try the 'End' call button to no avail. I end up having to call my phone from another phone, accept the call then hang up. ...the my radio gets un-muted. What a pain!
