MyChevrolet App: Overview
Bachman Chevrolet:
In this video we're gonna be looking at
the MyChevrolet App.
So here's the app a new open it. A grid of 9 apps total.
First app is roadside assistance. It
shows and pinpoints your car and gives
you a number that you can call for
assistance. Next we've got a parking reminder.
Again, shows you where your car is, it allows you to add a photo as a reminder,
so it opens up your camera so you can take a picture of your car.
And you can also set a note, so you can
remind yourself in words.
For example, "it's over there"...not
very helpful, but that's where your car is.
Next we've got the schedule service, so you can find which dealer you want, what cars
coming in,
what kind of service you need, when you
need to be in a now and out. Then to find a
dealer you can
use your current location, search by zip code, search by dealer name,
or set your preferred dealer.
The next icon is Chevy's current offers
icon and it allows you
to look through all of Chevy's current offers on service and maintenance.
Next is the owner's manual and it's a
digital manual
for your vehicle, so you can look through everything that you would
be able to look through in the physical
manual in your vehicle.
You've also got the lights and indicators
tab that shows you all the different lights
or indicators that may pop up
on your dashboard that you wouldn't know and it gives you a description of what they mean.
Next you've the profile settings, and that
allows you to custom
and tailor the app to you and your
vehicle.
Finally, one of the coolest features is the
OnStar remote link.
Now you have to have this setup with
OnStar,
but it allows you to look through your
wifi connection in your car,
hands-free calling. The map setting
allows you to find where your car is and
pinpoint it, and you can also send
directions.
So I wanna go to Starbucks; I can find it.
I can either call them
or send turn by turn to my car.
Next I can look through my vehicle status
and that shows me my fuel range, my oil
life,
and my tire pressure.
Also it shows me my fuel efficiency.
So over the lifetime the mpgs, how
many miles I've gone,
but the coolest feature is the key fob. It allows me
to lock, unlock, remote start, cancel the start,
turn on the horn and lights, and stop
the horn and lights.
So we'll show you a small
demonstration of the key fob feature,
which is everyone's favorite.
So here we have our Malibu and I just
remote locked it.
So there it's locked, now I'm gonna hit
remote start button.
Now it will take a moment considering
that I'm actually sending the signal to
a satellite
an OnStar satellite in space and
sending it back to the car, but it's
really cool.
There you can see it locks,
and the other lights turn on to show that it just started. Alright now, I'm gonna cancel that start.
I didn't really mean to turn on my car.
So now it's gonna send that signal
again and there it
went, it turned off.
Okay so now my mother-in-law called
me and told me that my car,
somebody's trying to break in my car,
while I'm at the airport so I turn on the horn
and lights.
Pretty helpful.
Now they've run away and I don't
wanna leave it in an airport parking lot
honking,
so hit the button and it turns off.
So that's how to use the MyChevrolet
app and
the accompanying
the OnStar remote link app.

How To Connect Your Apple CarPlay in Your Chevrolet Silverado
Will Tinney:
Another tech-savvy feature in the Chevrolet Silverado
Is the ability to be able to connect both Android Auto
and, as I am going to demonstrate in this video, Apple CarPlay.
Notice this projection icon.
That's the icon you're going to want to pay attention to while setting up your phone for Apple CarPlay.
Setting up your iPhone for Apple CarPlay is easy!
You're going to use the lightning cable that came with your iPhone.
Once inserted into the phone you may notice a blue bar on top.
And, your iPhone will say Apple CarPlay.
You'll also notice that this tile icon now says Apple CarPlay.
And, the Bluetooth is disconnected.
When using Apple CarPlay it is very similar to using Chevrolet MyLink
However, the experience is much like that of any Apple device.
You'll notice that the layout and icons are very similar.
You have your Home button, you have your signal strength to your iPhone or if you are connected to WiFi,
You Also have the time,
Then you have the layout of your iPhone... Phone, Music, Maps, Messages,
what's playing now, if you have Podcasts saved on your phone,
Audio books,
and other related media.
One of my personal favorites in CarPlay, when using the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, is
is the ability to summons Siri to get directions to just about anywhere.
For this example I'm going to push the Voice Command button which is located on the steering wheel.
Beep - Find the nearest Starbuck's coffee - beep
Siri says: The nearest one I found is Starbucks on health drive SW.
Let me know if you want more information
With one touch of a button and one single voice command
you can find the Starbuck's, using Apple CarPlay, nearest you.
If I want to go here I just hit "Go"
One thing you'll notice is that any of the app's when open
when they are open, their icons will be stored over here.
So if you want to get out of one app and be able to go back, let's say your music
you can see what's playing here
but instead of just hitting the back button, I can go
I can go right to here, in this Apple CarPlay app, and it'll use Apple Maps to take me to the destination I was going.
This is handy if you're traveling and you need to bounce between several apps
and different things such as the radio
and also GPS
Another great thing about using Apple Maps in CarPlay, is that other
destinations that you may have used before in the past
are going to be stored from your iPhone
because it's pulling it into CarPlay from your iPhone
Driving while staying connected is great when using Apple CarPlay.
If you receive a text message.
You'll simply see the message right here
You don't even have to respond to it, but you'll know at least you have a message.
When you have time though,
You can select the SMS message
Siri says: You have a message from someone with a 616 area code.
Siri reads the Apple CarPlay text in the 2017 Chevy: Thank you for the email
Siri asks: Do you want to reply?
Beep, Yes... Siri says: Go ahead...
No problem!
I'll send you another email when I get to the office: Apple CarPlay SMS text demonstration.
Siri reads back from Apple CarPlay the text message: Ok, it says...
No problem, I'll send you another email when I get back to the office.
Siri will then ask you, in Apple car Play, if you want to send it.
What I like about that is you can make corrections to a text in real-time using Siri in Apple CarPlay.
It's just like using your iPhone, but you're not being taken away from, or distracted from driving with what's going on here on the Chevy's MyLink touch screen.

How To Connect an iPhone with Bluetooth in 2017 Chevy Silverado and Use
Will Tinney:
Congratulations on the purchase of your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado!
In this video we are going to show you how to pair, using Bluetooth,
The Apple iPhone 7.
Pairing your iPhone in the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado is easy
and only takes a few simple steps.
The first step we are going to do is select "Phone"
Once you select the Phone icon, select "Pair Device" icon.
At this point, you'll see instructions on the MyLink radio screen.
Thes, you're going to want to go to your cell phone or iPhone.
Select the settings tab...
Select Bluetooth
Under Bluetooth, select Chevrolet MyLink
Your phone and MyLink radio will ask to pair
Select "Yes" on the MyLink screen
Your iPhone is now successfully paired using Bluetooth to the MyLink system in your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado!
One quick note is, under the Bluetooth settings
Under "Chevrolet MyLink"
You are going to want to select "Show Notifications"
Make sure this switch is turned on your iPhone.
This will allow for incoming text messages to appear while driving.
When receiving a text message by Bluetooth in MyLink
You can listen, view or dismiss the text message.
If you're driving and the text message goes away after you hear the alert,
No worries, when you're at a stoplight
or at a stop sign
simply select the text
select the phone number
You can also read it here if you're in park.
You can also listen to the text. MyLink says "Did you get the new proposal?"
After that, you can make a decision to call the person back, using the on screen MyLink reply options,
However, one important thing to note, you cannot use the reply feature
Such as these (showing text replies)
only on an iPhone as it is not supported.
However, you can still call the person back
And then when you have a second, you can use your phone to text the person back
when you're NOT driving in your car!
Answering an incoming phone call from the MyLink is very similar.
As you'll see the call right on the MyLink screen.
Another nice thing when connected by Bluetooth, you don't have to have any cables
to your phone and you can literally stream your music over the Bluetooth ability in the MyLink system.
Over Bluetooth
