The MyLink Master thread

Does anyone know how much battery power mylink uses?

Then give us an easier option

I don't know that he has an easier option but it is certain he has a safer option, which apparently could be a consideration.

I said "could" but thinking about all this, I wonder if "should" would be the better choice of words. -L-

 

[krakenredbeard]

I'm no genius but if you can update firmware via USB then he should be able to save firmware to send out.

I'd dare say the issue is it's probably not individually coded. Thus they don't want to send it out and we upload for everyone to enjoy.

Sharing is caring. But sharing isn't business so I understand.

Just my thoughts.

If it is as simple as putting a few files on a flash drive, starting the car to keep power, then plug in the stick .. that would seem to be fairly easy to me. I understand the differences in regions etc .. but in the U.S.A why would there be any? Not to mention reading thru the different threads etc., it seems to me that it is more risky to take it to a dealership to get it updated. Heck I have even called the Infotainment folks at Chevy to find out if my car had the latest software version and they were totally clueless.. Talked to several folks as they kept transfering me around..At least from reading here i find that it is either v23 or v24 .. an i am at v20...

You are right - support from Chevrolet is senseless! No one could help me and I didn't find a dealer in Germany who was able to update it or state me the actual version number.

((MODS)) I would highly recommend banning any download links for firmware updates that are not directly from GM - these RU firmware packs are poison to US vehicles, a (semi)brick will happen!

 

[Anarkii]

Probably a better idea to just link to the website that has the firmware with a disclaimer 'We do not accept responsibility to any damage done by installing the firmware contained in these links, clicking on it you accept all consequences if any to your car'.

That way people have the option of getting it, and installing it, but only if they agree that by doing it, they are taking a risk on themselves and not supported by Chevrolet.

Now that's what I'm talking about.

Anyone have a 2014 with MyLink Apps, looking like this?

IF you can upgrade to a Russian version, you'd think we could program it back to the US version as well as upgrade to this. I may look into the SDK , but doubt I'd design anything for it.

I just want the capability to my phone's display on the MyLink screen and control it, like I saw earlier. Any app I need is already out there. Google Maps, Itinerary, etc....

What's the difference between playing with MyLink Apps or Texting while driving though?

 

[ChicksHateMe]

Another interesting post that talks about MyLink, Programming and the Sonic & Spark...

MyLink Information for Developers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums - Camaro5.com

Sorry if it was posted already...

 

[laborsmith]

Somewhat irrelevant but the truck and trailer in the Der Stig avatar? bears an excellent resemblance to the truck and trailer Rodgers Chevrolet uses to deliver to out of area buyers.

I believe I posed that link a couple of years ago but so long ago it was definitely worth reviving.

can someone state the actual version of the Mylink software?
my HW-Version: 95266287

i tried software version: 20.03-52072018
i tried software version: 23.1-42334159

now i am back to the 20.03-52072018 because of some error messages about a rear camera - which i don't have

So it's been 11 days now, i have tried just about everything. I've held down the power button, I've held the volume button and power, etc. I've unpaired my bluetooth from my iPhone, I've tried pairing my bluetooth (by pressing the talk physyical button on steering wheel) I've turned the car on and off, opend the door closed the door. I've disconnected the batter for about 30 minutes and it's still the same. Mylink is frozen on a screen that just shows Chevy and Mylink, it will not animate, the brightness works, when i have the car off but the key on the power/volume/home buttons do make a beeping noise and flash indicating that they are working. The system itself i believe is frozen or locked? I'm not sure if Mylink has a lock feature that i need to enter a special code to unlock it? Anywho, any known fixes to this? Any other way of doing a hard reset to Mylink? I've taken this to my local dealer and they couldn't figure it out (or didnt try as hard?) not sure.

Hello,
I thought that any employee of the GM monitored this site. Before, I posted a video showing the Mylink running with Mirrolink, but no one from the company commented on this.

 

[oldslowchevy]

What is mirrolink?

Hello,
Please, see this video https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3CtDg-PBhxZNVNNcmNfeWIxaTg/view
Mirrorlink mirror (display) the screen of your mobile phone to your Mylink and interact with apps installed on the phone.

 

[ChicksHateMe]

That Mirrolink, or Mirrorlnk, looks pretty cool, but I have a hard enough time working my phone as it is, I think I'd have more trouble using it that way. Especially with the delay.

I'd like it for Google maps maybe, but would rather have a Mylink app specific for that.

I already can use the Mylink for talking Via blutooth. I'd be afraid to have the ability to do all the apps on the mylink. My addictions to texting and playing Pet Rescue would get me in real trouble with Mirrolink

 

[oldslowchevy]

I just saw a commercial where you can send the mylink radio a text message for the Malibu, can that be done to ours as well?

 

[laborsmith]

The Malibu MyLink is not the same as the Sonic-Spark MyLink.
