When the vehicle is traveling at more than 5 mph, certain functions of the Chevrolet MyLink system will get locked as a safety precaution. Drivers won’t be able to use the alphanumeric or numeric keyboard to find contacts or destinations, and won’t be able to scroll through or edit contact or destination lists. Drivers won’t be able to pair a new Bluetooth^® device while the car is moving. You can still access some features like music, contacts and directions using voice controls. If a front-seat passenger is detected in the vehicle, it overrides the lockout and the full system is available.

If the vehicle is in motion and a feature is locked, it will appear “grayed out” to the driver. These icons and features can’t be selected while the vehicle is in motion. If a frontseat passenger is detected in the vehicle, it overrides the lockout and the full system is available.

No, backseat passengers can’t override the driver lockout. Only a frontseat passenger can override the lockout screen.

Select the “Favorite” you want to rename and press “Rename,” then type in the new name using the keypad on your touch-screen.

Press and hold the “Favorite” you want to move and drag it to a new location on your touch-screen.

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

Yes, the driver can decide which paired phones are connected to the Chevrolet MyLink system at any time. To connect a phone, press the “Phone” icon, select “Phones” and add a check mark to the phone you want to connect. You can also disconnect phones by unchecking the phone.

Other files on your smartphone or device could interfere when the system tries to index your music. We recommend that you format your USB device before loading music and pictures. Sometimes USB devices have special security or encryption software that may prevent the device from being recognized. It could also be that the system doesn’t support your device.

Apple devices need to be plugged into the MyLink system through a USB port to access all of the features. You can stream playlists from your Apple device through Bluetooth, but other audio features require that you connect the device through a USB port.

Chevrolet MyLink can recognize up to 10 different Bluetooth-enabled devices. It will recognize the devices in the order they are listed in the “Phone” section under “Settings.” If a device on the list isn’t in the vehicle, Chevrolet MyLink will recognize this and pair with the next device in the vehicle.

MyLink supports the AVRCP 1.3 profile. This allows you to pair your Bluetooth-enabled device^† and see all 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 that is playing is unable to transfer.

The only phone features that are available using Bluetooth are phone calls and music, including Pandora^® Internet Radio with some devices.

Pandora^® Internet Radio is a free app available for smartphones and other compatible devices. You can stream Pandora when a device that has the Pandora app is connected to your MyLink system. You can control Pandora features on your connected device or on your touch-screen.

Safety is of the utmost importance when driving a motor vehicle, so certain features are locked when the vehicle is in motion. These locked features will become active again when the vehicle is in Park or if a front-seat passenger overrides the lockout safety feature.

The Chevrolet MyLink^† system only lets you access stations that you’ve already created online or on your smartphone or device. If your device is connected to MyLink, you’ll have to disconnect to create a new station.

If you are using an Apple product to listen to Pandora, make sure your device is connected through a USB port. Also make sure the connected Apple device has the latest Pandora app, the device is unlocked and you aren’t running any other apps.

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, visit pandora.com.

MyLink^† and Gracenote^® use song information from your device to fill in the blanks on screen, but Gracenote needs to start somewhere. If the artist or 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.

No, Gracenote is technology embedded in the Chevrolet MyLink^† system only, so it won’t add in any missing information on your MP3 player, USB drive or iPod^®/iPhone^®. But as long as the information on your device doesn’t change, the information the Gracenote filled in will be in your MyLink system every time you connect that device with Chevrolet MyLink.

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.

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.

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. If different artists sing versions of the same song or if two artists have the same name, Gracenote will note this and you will be able to select the version you want.

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.

MyMedia is a Chevrolet MyLink feature that lets you compile songs from connected music devices onto one playlist so you don’t have to switch devices to access all the music you have available.

MyMedia will create a playlist only after each smartphone paired with the MyLink system opts to allow MyMedia to collect music from each phone onto one playlist.

The smartphone must be present to access the stored favorite. You can save songs you like as one of your 60 “favorites” but the smartphone or device that the song is stored on must be present for the song to play through MyLink.

Yes, backseat passengers can control music using their paired device if it is selected for use.

Each MyLink system lets you save up to 60 favorites. If there is a song or radio station that you want to save, press and hold an available “Favorite” space on your touch-screen until you hear a beep letting you know the song or station has been saved as a favorite.

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

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. 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.

SiriusXM Travel Link^† is included as part of the 3-month standard SiriusXM Satellite Radio trial period. After the initial trial, SiriusXM Travel Link must be added on to the SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. Additional fees may apply.
