  1. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 2 Volt
    Hi all, I had an older 32gb 3.0 drive in my Gen 2 Volt for a couple of years, but it finally dies on me. In getting a replacement I tried a couple of drives I had, but have been having mixed results. It does not seem like a new USB 3.1 drive (SanDisk 32GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive -...
  2. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 2 Volt
    [EDIT/UPDATE: So it looks like the Volt disliked the exFAT filesystem I'd originally formatted the drive with. I have reformatted as NTFS, reloaded 19GB of the original 69GB of music, and it works fine, with the drive showing up on the display as (correctly) 128GB. Initial indexing was < 60...
  3. Chevy Volt Engineering and Design
    I am surprised that this issue has lingered in the Volt infotainment software as long as it has. The short version of the problem is that the music in a USB playlist is shuffled once when you select "Shuffle", but never again thereafter, so you are left listening to the songs in the exact same...
  4. 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...
  5. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I'm still considering getting a used gen1 volt and saving a ton of money instead of getting a tesla model 3. I was shocked to learn that teslas don't let you play audio through USB from your phone, only via bluetooth, since bluetooth audio quality isn't as good as USB quality. Can gen 1 volts...
  6. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    I was reading on another site that the USB ports in the gen 2 volt only put out about 0.5A and I tend to agree. When I am talking on the phone with it plugged in I gain about 1 or 2% charge in 30 mins. When I am using google maps it actually loses power. Why would Chevrolet bother putting in...
  7. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    Hello Volters, I'm a bit frustrated with MyLink. I have music files organized by folder in USB and never have problem with two other cars that I've used. But with this MyLink, the default always go to song name which doesn't serve me well. When the "Just the two of us (Grover Washington Jr.)"...

    Mostly happy new owner of a 2016 Black Mosaic Premier. Two weeks tomorrow! :cool: However am experiencing the following: Aux Input. Issue occurs w/two different iPod Classics: One 80GB (loaded w/2K+ ALAC files) and the other 160GB (loaded w/12K+ AAC files). When using the aux input am...

    So I have had the 2016 Volt for about 3 weeks , I have used apple carplay with a amazon certified usb cable . Just recently the apple carplay stops working , sometimes it works and i go to hit play for a song on the touch screen and it looses connection. I have replaced the cable with my apple...
  10. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    I never know, when I start the 2017 Volt, whether I'm going to be able to access the music on the USB flash drive or not. Sometimes it works, sometimes the Volt doesn't recognize the flash drive (even if it was in use, when I last turned the car off). If I turn off the phone's Bluetooth -...
  11. Chevy Volt News, Reviews & Events
    Hello all, I recently bought a used 2012 (no nav) and like the car very much - except for the iPhone connection to the audio system. I have an iPhone 6 (iOS 9.02) and the bluetooth connections only enables pure phone features - no music at all. When I plug in the USB it immediately acts as an...
  12. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    weird situation I've been noticing: I have a usb stick plugged into my 2016, with roughly 3000 songs on it. In the audio menu, i have Shuffle set to On. It will play through a bunch of songs, maybe 100 or so, and then start repeating that same group of songs, in the same order. There are many...
  13. 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...
  14. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    TPMS Reporting "--" psi Has your TPMS started randomly showing the tire warning light and showing "--" for one or more tire's pressure reading? It could be RFID signal interference. Do you have a 12V power supply plugged in to the power port? Or, it could be an issue with the Remote Door Lock...
  15. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 1 Volt
    Just wanted to let everyone know that I recently purchased a USB switching device/hub that allows 4 things to be plugged into the USB outlet and has separate switches so you can choose which one is "on" and read by the Infotainment Center. So far it seems to work very well. I've got a 2.0 USB...
  16. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I use USB for most of my music and like that the USB plug is hidden away in the center console. The problem is that the USB plug is so high up and in the way that whenever I want to put something into the console I'm afraid of smacking it and possibly breaking the flashdrive. I was using a...
  17. Software & Programming/Code - Chevy Volt
    After 4 days in my new Volt, I just had to master this music on USB flash drive thing. Then I read that it likes to rearrange songs? Hmmm. Why would I want them in alphabetical order? So I did some tests... Note: I use Linux on my home computer not MS Windows. 1. Music formats: Can it read...
  18. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Hi guys, I can't seem to get my Android to connect via the USB. It doesn't charge or read any files. Bluetooth, aux or car charger via the old cig lighter port all works. Just the usb, nothing happens when I plug it in, no message from the car or my phone... is there anything i'm missing?? Any...
  19. Suggestions for GM - Chevy Volt
    GM - please fix this. Incoming calls do not go to hands-free and force me to pick up the phone and activate the cars audio system to receive the call. Further, when connected via USB, the audio from an incoming call is combined with whatever audi source I am listening to (CD, Radio, etc).
  20. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    One of the things I really don't like about the Volt's interface is the iPod integration. There is no way to search or jump to a letter or anything, so if I have my iPhone plugged in (3,000 plus songs), and I want to hear a song that starts with "P", I need to scroll for a good 5 minutes to get...
