2104 Silverado LTZ - Bluetooth question
My next door neighbor is having a problem with his older flip phone and the bluetooth hands free phone connection.
In his AT&T local area he can use his phone thru the bluetooth hookup, but out of his local area it will not work. He can then use phone not useing handsfree. He also has a 2013 Silverado plus a 2011 Lexus SUV that his flip phone works with out issue thru the bluetooth system anywhere.
His local Chev Dealer, after "checking" with GM said that the 2014 needed to have a phone compatible with G4 in order to work with the Bluetooth hands free system.
I have little knowledge about phone systems, but I can't uderstand why he can use the flipphone handsfree locally but not out of his area only in the 2014 silverdo.
Help me understand.
