What is Chevrolet MyLink?
Auto manufacturers have been making huge strides over the past few years in terms of in-car technology, and most brands now have their own proprietary entertainment and navigation systems. Usually referred to as infotainment systems, this technology allows you to perform a wide range of actions via a central touchscreen control panel. In this sense, the Chevrolet MyLink system is similar to the infotainment systems offered by other manufacturers. However, the more you actually learn about Chevrolet MyLink, the more you'll realize that it offers a whole lot more than most. For this reason, we'll now take you through a quick overview to explain exactly why MyLink is and how it works.
Introducing the Chevrolet MyLink System
The Chevrolet MyLink system is a full-service infotainment system designed to enhance your driving experience. For starters, the system allows you to connect your smartphone or other mobile device either through the built-in USB port or wirelessly via Bluetooth®. When you connect your phone, the MyLink system automatically integrates all of its features directly into the touchscreen display. This means that you can send and receive emails and text messages or make calls without having to mess around with your phone.
In addition to the touch screen, the MyLink system can also be operated via voice commands. This gives you the ability to stay connected while you drive without having to risk your safety by using your phone. Both the touch screen and voice commands can give you instant access to your messages, music, maps and a whole lot more. As an added benefit, the system can be fully customized to make use of only those selected apps that you choose.
World-Class Entertainment and Technology at Your Disposal
Chevrolet MyLink provides amazing benefits to any music lover. The system comes with access to SiriusXM satellite radio, and most new Chevrolet vehicles include a free three-month trial of this service. MyLink also includes Pandora internet radio and Stitcher Smart Radio, which provide you with aalmost unlimited catalog of music to listen to wherever you may go.
If you're worried that you might get lost on your way, MyLink can also be integrated with OnStar Turn-By-Turn Navigation. You can also get real-time updates on weather, road and traffic conditions and even find the up-to-date price for fuel at all local gas stations by using the SiriusXM Travel Link.
iPhone users also have another advantage, as they can take their favorite personal assistant Siri with them on the road. With Siri Eyes Free, you can compose messages, make appointments and perform all other Siri functions directly through the MyLink system and without having to take your hands off the wheel.
MyLink's Teen Driver Technology
Chevrolet MyLink is also the world's first infotainment system to allow you to see a report card for your teenage driver. The system allows you to set up a PIN, which you can use to set the system to Teen Driver mode. This mode allows you to see a report card of their driving habits and show you if any of the automatic safety features were triggered.
You can also set up a number of other features, such as putting a limit on the music volume, turning the audio off if everyone isn't wearing their seatbelt and automatically displaying warnings when the vehicle exceeds a pre-selected speed. All of these features are designed to allow you to rest easier whenever your teenager is out on the road.
As you can see, Chevrolet MyLink is far more than your average infotainment system. The incredibly combination of features this system contains will truly enhance your driving experience in more ways than you can imagine. Still, it is something that you need to experience yourself to truly appreciate. Therefore, we'd like to invite you to Stonebriar Chevy to see the MyLink system for yourself.
