I have been fighting Bluetooth connectivity since the car was new in October. Gm has gone through all kinds of trouble and then even replaced the unit. The problem persist. Bluetooth if linked manually at the phone works properly. It also works if connected via the USB port. It will not stay connected if it connects like it should, automatically. Bringo works normally when connected but if a call comes in it shuts down and restarts after call ends.
Repeating that I am hoping the issue is with the iPhone. If it is iphone update then I am at apples mercy. Used Bluetooth in my Silverado with no problems. My wife uses her Bluetooth in her Buick Encore with no problem.
I will comment back when I get the new phone tomorrow

Ive been dealing with the same issues. As for the mp4 problem Not playing i found a solution even though its kind of a headache. I have to find youtube videos or full movies on youtube and copy the youtube link to that video and use keepvid dot com to download it to mp4. Works like a charm. Ive tried so many different converters ect and this is the only thing that worked. Im still waiting yo figure out how to keep video playing while in motion. Any success with a hack?? Sorry if i reopened a dead thread. Just want to help and find answers.

when I tried to hook up my galaxy s3 with the usb cable, it said the device was not supported. how can that be? isn't the s3 one of the best selling phones out there? i can connect via Bluetooth and stream Pandora that way, or use the aux cable, but i don't understand why it wont work with the usb cable.

I am under the impression that the i phone uses the USB port and the Android uses the Bluetooth gateway. That impression is based on what I recall reading in the Owners Manual so may not be correct.

Well the part about IPhone is not correct. iPhone can use both ports at the same time.
Example, stream Pandora over Bluetooth while running Bringo via the USB.

That does not work for me... With my iPhone 4s paired and also connected via USB, the bluetooth audio source is disabled.
The only thing I can do is run both over USB. I don't use Pandora, but I have tried using TuneIn and BringGo simultaneously. That works really well, BringGo tries to take over to give directions and my source suddenly kicks back to XM because BringGo has crashed TuneIn.
Even when it doesn't crash TuneIn, it's quite annoying to have to wait for it to rebuffer every time BringGo is done giving directions.

Start Bluetooth first then then run app vis USB. BringGo has some issues to resolve. They told me via customer service that an update would be released first qtr 2014. Hope that is correct.
If you are having other Bluetooth issues, Apple appears to have solved my problem. I will be able to confirm after a few more days of testing.

I'm having the same problem with no relief!!!
I have the 2013 Sonic LTZ Turbo (BLUE!!) and my iPhon 5 connects and disconnects at random for varying amounts of time (minutes to hours!!!) the whole time I am in the car. My dealership just finally replaced my radio and that hasn't helped either. SOMETHING is wrong. Somewhere.....and I am so frustrated. This is a big thing now that Illinois is completely handsfree!

Totally understand the frustration! Problem since new! Until a solution is found that fixes this issue try manually connecting Bluetooth in settings. It seems to stay connected until the car is shut down.

I think I read something in this monster thread about the Bluetooth going through the onstar module not the radio.
Maybe try calling GMs infotainment support 855-478-7767

I love the Mylink radio, I just wish that Chevy partnered with a better company - BringGo is terrible and the list of phones that they work with is also terrible... come on!! I had to root my phone to be able to use the app and I have a Galaxy S4 (one of the most popular phones). Once I did that it works great! I really wish that we had Google maps, tom tom, or another trusted provider. Chevy messed this up in my opinion.
I tried plugging a 1TB drive into my car today, Sadly it didn't work
Maybe I'll play with formatting it and see if I can trick it into working.
Not sure if a drive that big will work, either way, it has to be in FAT, FAT32 or exFat to be readable by MyLink. No NTFS or Mac OS Extended.
