Where did my icons go?

If you customized your homepage, you may have noticed that one or more of your icons are now no longer on the homepage. They’re not missing.

Why won’t the system recognize my USB?

In most cases, the Chevrolet MyLink† system will have no problems recognizing your USB drive†. However, there are some instances where software on the drive may conflict with software in the system. If this happens, simply use a different USB or try formatting your USB drive before you use it.

Why won’t Chevrolet MyLink index my music from my USB?

We recommend that there are no other files on your device when playing music or downloading any data. Any other files could interfere with the system properly indexing your music. We recommend that your USB thumb drive be formatted before loading music and pictures. Some USB thumb drives have special security or encryption software; this software may prevent the device from being recognized. In addition, the system might not support that format of device (i.e. Microsoft Zune).

What different USB devices does Chevrolet MyLink support?

Chevrolet MyLink supports smartphones and MP3 players that can be plugged in via the USB port. It also supports many different brands of USB flash drives.

Can my older Bluetooth® phone work with the Chevrolet MyLink system?

You can stream audio from any smartphone that supports Bluetooth Audio Streaming. And you can stream both Pandora® and Stitcher® if you use a smartphone that runs on the Android™ operating system. On BlackBerry® smartphones, you can stream Pandora®.

How do I pair my Bluetooth phone with Chevrolet MyLink?

You can learn how to pair your Bluetooth phone to your Chevrolet MyLink system in this video:

Why won’t my iPhone® work with Bluetooth Audio?

Apple devices† that are connected through only Bluetooth only (USB not connected) will be able to play audio through Bluetooth audio streaming. But you will not be able to access the full menu navigation and voice search feature until you connect the device through USB. When the device is connected with USB and Bluetooth the Bluetooth Audio feature is disabled.

If there is more than one Bluetooth-enabled device4 in the vehicle, which device will Chevrolet MyLink default to?

Chevrolet MyLink can recognize up to five different Bluetooth-enabled devices. It will recognize the devices in the order in which they are listed on screen. If a device listed isn’t in the vehicle, MyLink will recognize this and immediately pair with the device that is in the vehicle.

If there is more than one device in the vehicle, how can I switch devices?

Chevrolet MyLink stores up to five Bluetooth-enabled devices†. Simply access your settings to see the list of different paired devices. Scroll through the list to find the device you’re looking for. You can also press the push to talk button and say “Change Phone.”

You can also press the push to talk button and say “Change Phone.”

I paired my phone and it’s playing music, but I can’t see any of my information on screen?

MyLink supports AVRCP 1.3 profile. This allows you to pair your Bluetooth-enabled device† and see all of your song information on your Chevrolet MyLink screen. However, certain devices, like the iPod®/iPhone,® utilize AVRCP 1.0 (iPhone 4S† supports audio information with AVRCP 1.4), and while the music will play over the speakers, information about the current song playing is unable to transfer.

How do I stream Pandora® Internet Radio with Chevrolet MyLink?

To find out how to listen to Pandora through your Chevrolet MyLink system, view this video:

Is Pandora® available at no extra cost?

Yes, Pandora is available at no extra cost. However, if you would like to enjoy an ad-free experience, a Pandora One subscription is available. Visit pandora.com for more information.

How can I find my bookmarks?

Bookmarks are shortcuts back to a specific artist or song. Once you add a bookmark, you will be able to access that song or artist through the Pandora audio menu online. Simply scroll through and find the one you’re looking for.

Why can’t I access my station list, bookmark a song, change to the next track or use my Thumbs-Up or Thumbs-Down keys?

Safety is of the utmost importance when driving a motor vehicle. Therefore, certain features may be inactive when the vehicle is in motion. If this happens, the buttons will turn active again upon putting the vehicle in park.

Why can’t I create a station?

Currently, the Chevrolet MyLink† system only allows you to pull in stations that you’ve already created via the web or your smartphone when it is not connected to the MyLink system.

Why can’t MyLink open Pandora on my connected iPhone®?

Please make sure the iPhone has the latest Pandora app, the phone is unlocked and no apps are running in the foreground (you can see home screen).

Why are there ads on Pandora?

Ads help Pandora pay the bills. Advertising support for free listener accounts helps cover the costs associated with offering a lot of great music for free. If you would like to enjoy an ad-free experience, a Pandora One subscription is available for a yearly fee.

For more information on Pandora® Internet Radio, please visit www.pandora.com.

Where did my album art and Thumbs-Up and Thumbs-Down buttons go?

If you are an OnStar subscriber and use Turn-by-Turn directions, those directions will overlay any active screen on the right-hand side. This means that you may not be able to use the Thumbs-Up/Thumbs-Down icons or see some of the album art while in Turn-by-Turn mode.

Why can’t I star a program, change to the next Stitcher podcast, or use my Thumbs-Up or Thumbs-Down keys?

Some Stitcher stations may not support certain features, which is why the icons are grayed out or in active. If you cannot change to the next pod cast you may be at the end of a station list. Select another Stitcher station from the menu to continue listening

How long does it take to acquire my stations?

Depending on the quality of your connection, it may take the MyLink† system about 30 seconds; once acquisition is complete, you’re ready to listen to your show.

Why can’t MyLink open Stitcher on my connected iPhone®?

Please make sure the iPhone®† has the latest Stitcher app, the phone is unlocked and no apps are running in the foreground (you can see home screen).

For more information on Stitcher SmartRadio™, please visit www.stitcher.com.

Why is there missing information on my iPod/iPhone/USB “Now Playing” screen?

MyLink† and Gracenote use song information from the device to fill in the blanks on screen. But Gracenote needs to start somewhere. If the artist and album information is missing from your device, then Gracenote may not find an accurate match to fill in missing information on your screen. Make sure the music on your device is up-to-date and accurate.

Does Chevrolet MyLink save all of the songs to its hard drive?

No, Chevrolet MyLink only allows you to access music through your connected/paired device. The system has built-in memory, but not a hard drive. The integrated memory is used to store the list of the songs on your connected device this way the system will remember the list every time you connect that device.

Make sure your playlists are in the supported format. Your playlist will not work if the music in the list is not on the connected device.

Why won’t Chevrolet MyLink index my music from my USB?

We recommend that there are no other files on your device when playing music or downloading any data. Any other files could interfere with the system properly indexing your music. We recommend that your USB thumb drive† be formatted before loading music and pictures. Some USB thumb drives have special security or encryption software; this software may prevent the device from being recognized. In addition, the system might not support that format of device (i.e. Microsoft Zune).

What different USB devices does Chevrolet MyLink support?

Chevrolet MyLink supports most smartphones and MP3 players that can be plugged in via the USB port. It also supports many different brands of USB flash drives.

Why can’t More Like This create a playlist for the song I am listening to?

The Gracenote More Like This feature uses the music database that is installed in your MyLink system. If a song is released after you purchased your vehicle, it will not be in the music database so Gracenote cannot create a playlist.

When Gracenote® fills in missing information, does it go back on my device that way?

No, Gracenote® is technology embedded in the Chevrolet MyLink† system only, it will not fix any missing information on your MP3 player, USB drive or iPod®/iPhone®. However, as long as the information on your device doesn’t change, that information will be in your MyLink system every time you get in your vehicle.

Why was the information on my collection not completed?

MyLink and Gracenote uses song information from the device to fill in the blanks on screen. But Gracenote needs to start somewhere. If the artist and album information is missing, then Gracenote may not find an accurate match to fill in missing information on screen. Make sure you music on your device is up-to-date and accurate.

Why is there no album art for my song?

Gracenote® does its best to fill any voids in your music collection’s information. However, there are even some artists or album covers that Gracenote® may not be able to find because information was missing from your music files. If cover art is not available, images of the artist or genre will be displayed in its place.

Why does the Gracenote logo pop up and down on my screen when a device is connected?

This is perfectly normal. Once a device is connected, Gracenote® starts working immediately to index the song list, and assign voice tags. While this process is happening, the Gracenote® logo will pop up on the screen, letting you know that the technology is working. The length of the indexing process will depend on the number of songs on your device.

Why couldn’t Chevrolet MyLink find my artist or song?

Gracenote® assigns digital voice tags so you can access artists, albums, and genres, just by saying their name. However, some new or less popular artists may not be in the Gracenote® database. And there are times when several artists sing different versions of a song or two artists may have the same name. In this instance Gracenote® will show you list of possible matches. Select the one you want to play.

Does every Chevrolet vehicle have Gracenote technology?

No. Gracenote is available on the 2012 Volt, 2012 and 2013 Equinox, 2013 Volt, 2013 Cruze, 2013 Camaro and 2013 Malibu and Malibu Eco. It is not available on 2013 Sonic and 2013 Spark.

How do I set up and use voice commands with Chevrolet MyLink?

To find out how to set up and use the Enhanced Voice Control with Chevrolet MyLink view this video:

Why does the Chevrolet MyLink not understand my command?

Chevrolet MyLink† has high-accuracy enhanced voice control technology, however, there are some things that could interfere with the system understanding your command. Highway speeds, open windows and high fan speeds are just some of the possible things that could interfere with MyLink understanding your exact commands. Voice-recognition with background noise is extremely challenging. To remedy this, close all windows and reduce the fan speed to a minimum and retry issuing your voice command. If this still doesn’t work, it may be because you’re speaking too soon. Wait for the beep, then pause a brief second before saying your command. This gives the microphone time to open and prepare itself to receive the speech signal.

Why is Chevrolet MyLink not recognizing the number I want to dial?

Because of our speech patterns sometimes we tend to run a string of numbers together, so they may not be as clear as they need to be. You can greatly increase the accuracy of the number, by slowing down and properly enunciating each number. For example you can say, “Dial 5 5 5 1 2 1 2.” If this still does not work, you can use the Digit Dial voice command which allows you to speak numbers one at a time or in groups. For instance, you can say, “Digit Dial” and MyLink will instruct you to enter one number at a time. This is the most accurate way of dialing via enhanced voice control.

Is SiriusXM Travel Link included in the SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription?

SiriusXM Travel Link† is included as part of the standard 90-day SiriusXM Satellite Radio trial period. After the initial 90 days, SiriusXM Travel Link must be added on to the SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. Additional fees may apply.

Can my older Bluetooth® phone work with the Chevrolet MyLink system?

To take advantage of all the features MyLink† has to offer, a smartphone running iOS†, BlackBerry®, or Android platform is required. Most Bluetooth-enabled phones† are compatible with the MyLink system, but some features may be limited.

For a list of Bluetooth-enabled phones†, click here.

How do I place and answer calls using Chevrolet MyLink?

Find out how to use Hands-free calling with Chevrolet MyLink in this video:

How many phones can I pair to the Chevrolet MyLink system?

MyLink allows you to pair up to five different devices. These can be smartphones or other Bluetooth-enabled phones†, and even such Bluetooth-enabled devices as an iPod® Touch.

Will the system recognize any word I say?

While the Chevrolet MyLink system has highly accurate voice-recognition software, it recognizes a list of many commands as well as most names. However, at times there could still be names or nicknames that the system cannot recognize.
