Default 2009 Tahoe Bluetooth and iPhone 5

Does GM ever plan to offer updates to their vehicles or is this 1926?

I got an iPhone 5 and now incoming calls get dropped for 2-3 seconds un-muting the radio then re-muting, etc. the incoming caller ID still works when it wants, never works outgoing. Even with my last 3 iPhones.

Do they offer software updates or do they expect me to buy a new $55k truck for every phone?

Default Well

I found this:

An issue with intermittent Bluetooth disconnects between select cell phones and General Motors 2011 and 2012 vehicles has been identified. As a result of the issue during incoming and outgoing calls customers may experience no hands-free audio in the vehicle. If this happens the vehicle may respond: "Unable to place call on your Bluetooth phone."
If you continue to experience this issue after January 16th, 2012 please press your OnStar blue button to speak with an OnStar advisor.

Where you been? Thought maybe you finally got the Expedition of your dreams.

So did the OnStar adviser get you straightened out?

Default Bluetooth

not yet; I plan to hit the button today; maybe they can remote update it (lol).

Been busy w/work, jet skiing, etc. But now that it's a bit winter out (35 this AM)... I won't be jet skiing for a while...

Still feel the Tahoe is junk, the rear windows when 1/2 down move all over the place, when it's cold there's a clicking in my dash, and the whole interior feels like it was copied in the dark, on a budget, with slave labor, from china.

Can't afford to replace it, looking at picking up another investment property... much more important than a car... one makes money, the other loses money.

I’m sorry you are experiencing this issue. It may be due to a software compatibility issue. Was OnStar able to resolve this issue? If not, I recommend contacting your local dealer for additional information.

Please keep us posted.
