THE VEHICLE IS THE 2015 CTS-V COUPE. THIS IS RELEVANT BECAUSE THIS MODEL HAS THE PRE CUE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. OTHER 2015 CTS AND CTS-V FOUR DOORS HAVE THE CUE SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. ANOTHER VEHICLE OWNER HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT FAILS WITH MY IPHONE 5S AND SE; IT FAILS WITH THE OTHER OWNER'S ANDROID PHONE.
