Update:

After I took mine back to dealer to have the new mic installed, along with them re-installing the software and pairing the phone; mine has been flawless so far(knocking on wood). It now works as it should. According to the few people I have talked with, they can hear me as if I'm sitting next to them. I'm not sure if it was the mic, software or the whole combination of things; but as of now I'm a happy camper. And I have found a new dealer that I will continue doing business with.

Bluetooth issues also 2013 Tahoe

I also have noticed that. Nobody can understand me in our 2013 Tahoe windows up and sunroof closed . Very Very frustrating. Is this fixable or Chevy issue and they are not going to do anything about it because the new and improved Tahoes are coming out?????:flame:

I am reading up a little on the different problems with the bluetooth. My issue is when I call my wife in our Tahoe, everything I say echos. Now, I have a 07 Tahoe and took the VCIM off a 2011 Silverado. It connects and works, its just the echoing. I called 2 dealers and even though it is the stock bluetooth, they said since the vehicle didn't come with bluetooth, I'm S.O.L...

I had the same problem with my 2012 yukon denali. In the first few months, I had it back at dealer 3 separate times. It still isnt right. I have had the actual module and mic changed. From what I understand, they are using a new mic, which is what they problem is. My boss has the same exact vehicle, but a 2011 and phone calls are very clear and crisp on the other end. Terribly frustrating for a $60,000 vehicle to say the least!!!

I went to a Hendricks Chevrolet Dealer that is local to me but not where I bought vehicle from. Please see my post above for more detailed info on what they did.

Starting with the 2012 model year, GM changed things in the blue-tooth systems they use. I was not told exactly what changes were made but the problems started showing up on 2013 models. GM is aware of the issues and is handling them on an individual case basis since it only effects some vehicles. My neighbor across the street has a 2013 and so far has had no issues.

I hope his helps.

Hi amyrod29,

I can certainly understand your frustration with this concern being unresolved. My apologies to hear you are having trouble with the bluetooth in your 2012 GMC Yukon. I'm happy to investigate this further and reach out to your dealership on your behalf or document this concern in our system. If this interests you please send us a PM with your contact information, last 8-digits of your VIN, current mileage and the name of your dealership. We look forward to hearing from you.

I have been experiencing this same problem for almost a year now. My truck has been at the dealer 3 different times. This last time which was 1 week ago the service writer lied saying they each (him,tech & service mgr) test drove the vehicle on and off the freeway and it's working flawlessly. Unfortunately after 3 days of the car sitting in the dealer the car had not 1 mile put on it. Leads me to believe there is no fix for this? Maybe they should check out the lemon law. It's the law to use hands free while driving. Don't they know some peoples jobs require being on the phone all day while driving.

Has GM sponsored a fix for this known issue? I have a 2013 Chevy Tahoe and I've experienced this very issue since purchasing my SUV in January 2014. I hardly ever attempt to use the bluetooth anymore for everyone I talk to says it sounds like I'm underwater. I too contacted the Infotainment center and they we're unable to fix with their troubleshooting steps. I'm taking my Tahoe to the dealer this Thursday and would really like this issue resolved. Very frustrated!

Does GM own this problem of garbled voice on there Bluetooth systems? I've had on for a year now and they want to start by just replacing the microphone also. they should have enough data on this problem that they should have a replacement kit.
if there is a GM customer care monitoring this please reply.
