No “ready” response when trying to pair to bluetooth.

Not trying to assume anything here so if you don’t have a manual, here are the pages covering this.

This is the same instructions that I just tried on our 2013 as my new work iPhone was never paired. It also worked with my wife’s iPhone 8 when we first got the vehicle.

Make sure your phone isn’t plugged into the USB port in the console.

Thank You.
I do have my manual and have tried saying “Bluetooth”, “Pair Phone” and “Pair”. None of those commands do anything. All I get is a beep when I hold the phone button.

Turn your phone off then on, open Bluetooth screen and then toggle it off then on. Start truck and toggle Bluetooth on phone off then on again. Press and hold the button on steering wheel after it beeps let go and say pair.

Thanks but no go. Just beeps and does not respond to any commands.

Have you let one of your kids try it?

No, I am the IT department in our house. The rest of them use the "throw it against the wall" repair method.

Not sure why this bothers me. I guess I just wanted it to work but I can't get it to.

Does anyone know if they can access this with their Tech2?

If you can’t call out to OnStar, either your antenna needs replacement or there’s an issue with the module.

Do you have option code UPF on your glovebox door? GM did make OnStar modules withOUT the BT option.

Go through the process to clear all the prior phones out too.

I don’t know how to do that.

I can’t delete prior phones because it doesn’t respond to any commands. I am hoping that once I get set up with a tech2 I can fix it.
