What is Chevy MyLink?

Chevy MyLink acts as your vehicle’s main command center and entertainment hub. The 7- or 8-inch touch screen sits right above the radio in every new Chevrolet car, truck, or SUV at Tom Tepe Autocenter and Car Country.

This smart system puts music, podcasts, navigation, Bluetooth calls, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto all in one easy place.

Drivers around Indianapolis, Milan, Indiana, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Aurora, Indiana can enjoy real-time traffic updates with built-in GPS navigation in many models, like the Chevy Silverado or Chevrolet Equinox.

MyLink makes connecting your phone simple for hands-free texting or streaming SiriusXM on Midwest highways. It helps make every ride safer and more fun across heavy-duty pickups or crossovers such as the GMC Sierra HD or the ChevroletTrax.

Setting Up Your Chevy MyLink System

Our team at Tom Tepe Autocenter helps drivers set up Chevy MyLink in minutes. Get your smartphone, wireless connection, and touchscreen ready to unlock all the system’s features quickly.

Turn on Bluetooth in your phone’s settings. Make sure your device is discoverable before starting the Chevy MyLink Bluetooth setup. For Android devices like the GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Traverse, open Settings and tap “Bluetooth.” Slide the switch to “On.” Check that your phone shows as available for pairing.

For Apple CarPlay or iPhone users, go to Settings, select Bluetooth, and turn it on so the system can find your device. Both Chevrolet infotainment systems—such as those in vehicles like GMC Sierra EV and the Chevy Equinox—require this step to connect smoothly.
