What Apps Are Available On Chevy MyLink?

Grand Forks Chevrolet drivers have lots to love with the Chevy MyLink system. And why not? You get a host of pre-installed apps that integrate with your smartphone through the infotainment touch-screen display. You also enjoy remote connectivity that allows you to operate systems wherever you take your smartphone. Let’s take a closer look at the apps and other features of the Chevy MyLink system.

Phone Integration in Chevrolet Vehicles

Late-model Chevrolet vehicles equipped with Chevy MyLink can sync with your smart devices using Android Auto and Apple CarPlay software built into your Chevrolet’s infotainment system. You can make calls, receive text alerts, access your favorite music, and more hands-free using intuitive voice commands. Select vehicles include the Siri Eyes-Free operating system. Steering wheel-mounted controls allow you to operate your iPhone using voice commands. Text message alerts come through your touchscreen, and you can verbally respond with preset replies.

Whether your drive takes you across the Red River into Minnesota, out west to the Kellys Slough National Wildlife Refuge, or on an impromptu camping trip, you remain connected to your friends, family, and work. As long as you have a compatible smartphone, you can enable select apps to operate on your Chevy MyLink touch-screen display.

OnStar App in a Chevy

North Dakota drivers love the OnStar app in their Chevrolet car, truck, or SUV. OnStar elevates your driving experience with various remote connectivity services, and Rydell Chevrolet Buick GMC offers a free trial subscription on most new and late-model vehicles. After this time, you can subscribe to the plan of your choice. 

The basic plan includes a remote key fob through your mobile phone, connectivity through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, a vehicle locator app, on-demand diagnostics, and Alexa built-in. Additional plans through OnStar offer remote crash assistance, roadside assistance in the event of a breakdown, and stolen vehicle assistance, among the many other services. 

Chevy’s SiriusXM Satellite Radio Option

Another popular app for Grand Forks drivers, SiriusXM delivers hundreds of radio stations covering news, sports, music, and more. You get a free All Access trial subscription to SiriusXM when you purchase a new or late model car from Rydell Chevrolet Buick GMC. The All Access package allows you to stream your favorite shows in your car, on your smartphone, and online.

Chevy’s SiriusXM Travel Link/NavTraffic Option

The service includes real-time updates on traffic and accidents around Grand Forks, fuel prices of nearby stations along your route, up-to-the-minute weather reports, and so much more delivered to your infotainment display screen.

Pandora in ChevyLink

One of the internet’s great streaming services, Pandora serves up personalized content based on your favorite songs, artists, comedians, and composers. Chevy MyLink includes the Pandora app built into your infotainment system. You can stream your favorites in your vehicle or on your smartphone with the Pandora app.

ChevyLink Includes Stitcher for Podcasts

With over 100,000 available podcasts and radio shows to choose from, you only need to decide which one to listen to first. The Stitcher app comes standard with Chevy MyLink and you can stream from your infotainment center or on your compatible Apple or Android devices.

Teen Driver Technology in the ChevyLink

Teaching your teen driver presents many challenges. Wintry weather in North Dakota aside, your teen needs help understanding safe driving techniques, and the teen driver technology included in the Chevy MyLink system can help them learn safely. Inputting your PIN into the Chevy MyLink display activates the system. Teen driver technology consists of the following features:

• Parents receive an in-vehicle report card that details the driving habits of their teen drivers. You also get the report card sent to your smartphone through Chevy MyLink. This industry-first report card allows parents to coach their young drivers on situations as they occur.
• Mutes the audio when front-seat occupants haven’t secured their seat belts.
• Sends audio and visual alerts when your teen exceeds preset speed limits.
• Allows you to preset volume limits on the audio system to help limit distracted driving.
• Prevents active safety features from being deactivated, like the Park Assist system.
• Provides you with a notification if driver-assist systems like the Forward Collision Alert and Forward Automatic Braking systems are used.

Navigations Abilities in a Chevrolet

Now you can get navigation information downloaded directly to your Chevy MyLink display. Once activated, a voice calls out directions at every turn, enabling you to focus on the road. 

ChevyLink Marketplace

Working with the Chevy MyLink system, the Marketplace allows you to discover offers from those stores and brands you know and love. You can purchase everything from theater tickets and gas to food and hotels all around Grand Forks, right from your infotainment system.

Chevy MyLink App Store

If you don’t see one of your favorite apps pre-installed on your Chevy MyLink system, you can visit the Chevy MyLink App Store. Press the Shop icon on your Chevy MyLink display, and you’ll be taken to the Chevy MyLink App Store, where you can browse hundreds of apps.
