Nope, still having the problems with mine.

Had a new thing happen the other day.

Came home from a round of Golf, shut truck off, opened door, and it was dinging like I left the Lights on or something. Checked every button, everything was off.

Went in the house, came out about 10 minutes later, unlocked truck with key fob, opened tailgate to get my Clubs out, and all the sudden I see the Radio light up and START PLAYING MUSIC!! How in the hell is THAT possible?!

You're lucky to get a Malibu as a rental, all my POS Dealer has is Chevy Sparks. It's like a street legal Golf Cart. It's the smallest, most unsafe feeling thing I've ever been in.

Well, truck has been at the dealer since yesterday, got it to freeze & have the turn signal issues for the service writer, and he took a Vid, sent it to GM, and they're going to replace the entire Radio.

So we'll see if this hopefully fixes the problem.

Well, got the Radio Replaced and the problem is still there!!

Next thing would be to replace the SD / USB Block.

Aaaaand if that doesn't fix it, then GM doesn't know WTF they're doing in their Audio Department.

I believe this is an Apple issue. I have an iPhone 5s that works great, but the new 6s has the issue.

Denali12 - just to confirm, you have a 2015 LS base model Tahoe or Suburban with an iO3 or iO4 radio system?

I have had this problem with all myh vehicles 2011 BMW 5gt 2010 BMW x6 2012 GMC Sierra 3500 HD SLT and in My 2015 BMW M6 the problem isn't with the vehicles it's with Apple and the software used to convert the songs to your vehicles bit rate it will only happen with certain songs Correct there is no fix as Apple is God and refuses to acknowledge any problem so regardless of Vehicle make model or cost they all do it unless you own Apple and then you're in luck!!

I have a 2012 camry and when my device (iphone 5s, 6, 6s, Ipod 7th gen, Ipad 3, Ipad mini 2) are plugged directly in via the usb cable and in "ipod" mode the sound is perfect (even during long trips 6+ hours). Even connecting it via bluetooth the sound is very good and theres no dialogue lag when watching videos.

My suburban (15 LS w/IO 3) on the other hand is completely different. I experience the same skipping which can be very annoying. I did notice if you plug your phone into the 3.5 aux jack you do not get the skipping problem or you can just load up your songs to an SD card. I am looking into a bluetooth receiver that I can just plug into my aux input (one that has very little to no dialogue lagging).

I took it to the dealer and they said they could not replicate the issue. I've been recording all the weird things that the radio does like Parking sensors unavailable, back up camera needs servicing, the radio staying on even when the keys are removed and the door is open etc...

I have problems with the SD Card as well. The Radio Freezes, doesn't play all the songs when in Random Mode (sticks to 1 "block" of letters in the alphabet) and always starts up on the same song, no matter what was playing when the Truck was shut off.

Have the iPod issues ever been resolved to anyone's satisfaction? I have a 2015 Yukon Denali and am very frustrated with the way the Intellilink is working with my iPod Classic. When playing tracks, the information does not update as it moves from one song to the next, it frequently skips, and when I press next or previous it goes to the wrong song. I did not have any of these problems in my previous car, which was a BMW. At this point, the system is virtually unusable with the iPod. I've thought of putting everything on an SD card, but reading through this thread gives some doubt that would work.
