We are in a world where cars are better connected than ever before. Most modern vehicles today have an infotainment system in the center console, which helps you to stay connected. The myChevrolet app has a variety of features that allow you to connect even better with your vehicle.
How Does the myChevrolet App Work?
You've probably been in a situation where you parked your car somewhere in the parking lot, but you can't remember where you parked it. Especially with the larger parking lots, this can turn into a real problem. Through the myChevrolet app, you can stay connected and find my Chevy at all times. You can also see who is driving it at any given time.
Automated text alerts can be sent to you or other family members. Whenever the connected vehicle arrives at or leaves a designated boundary area, you will be sent a text message. You can set the boundary limits for up to a 20-mile radius or less if you wish.
What Models Can You Get This For?
Any Chevrolet model from 2010 or newer can use the Vehicle Locate feature through the myChevrolet app. Compatibility and available features may vary based on your specific model and subscription level. If you're interested in using this feature on your vehicle, you should speak with our service department. The Vehicle Locate feature is now fully integrated into the myChevrolet app experience, with advanced tracking capabilities.
Scenarios Where You Could Use Vehicle Locate
You have a couple of different scenarios where it would be beneficial to track your car. Some of the situations where it would make the most sense include:
- Notifying family when leaving work
- How to track a vehicle driven by teenagers
- Find my vehicle location in a parking lot
- Sending text message alerts to family members
- Track my vehicle when it has been borrowed
Vehicle Locate makes a lot of sense in several different circumstances. In fact, you most likely have more scenarios than the ones highlighted, and you just have to get a little creative.
How to Locate Vehicle on My Chevrolet App
By using the map system on your phone, you can locate my car on the map and keep a closer eye on it. When you set up a boundary alert system, you can send notifications to up to 10 family members.
The process is simple:
- Open the myChevrolet app on your smartphone
- Navigate to the map section
- Use the Chevy vehicle locator feature to pinpoint your vehicle
- Get walking directions directly to your parked vehicle
Remember that to use these features, you'll need an active OnStar subscription - either the basic plan or one of the premium options that include remote access.
Enhanced Features for Electric Vehicles
If you own a Chevrolet electric vehicle, the myChevrolet app includes additional features specifically designed for EV owners, including charge status monitoring and charging station locations.
