my link apps

skunkstripe · January 20, 2014

Think I asked this in the wrong place. Any way here is my question. I have a 2014 chevy Silverado Z71 4x4. My truck comes with some pre installed apps. But in photos I have seen online it shows a weather app on my link. Mine don't have that app. Was wondering how to get that app and maby other one's. I'm useing an android phone to connect to my truck. Thanks for any help. This is a great truck. Traded a 2011 ford f150. And glad I did.

Do you have factory Nav? Or Onstar maps? I'm pretty sure the weather app only comes with trucks equipped with the factory Nav.

This is what I was told when I asked the same question a week or two ago.

Not the onstar nav. Factory nav has maps.

I would hit up the dealer and ask them then. If you have Nav you should have the weather app thing.

I have factory nav and do not have the weather app. For some reason they feel Canadians do not need the weather app.

Hay I'm n the same boat but I don't live in Canada. I live in oklahoma. And I also have navigation on mine. But not the weather app.

As of right now I'm pretty sure there is no GM App Store or apps available for the my link system. I'm sure in the future there will be. I played around with the Chrysler system the other day and it's honestly.. Much better than my link lol. Still no regrets I just hope GM does something really go with a update to catch up to the other competitors.

It would be nice to see them open an app store. Other than that I couldn't ask for a better truck. Too thumbs up for chevy on this new truck.

So what happens to the OnStar Nav when your subscription expires? Do you lose nav altogether? From what I have been reading, the factory nav seems to be better in terms of user interface and apps...

I felt the Chrysler system was vastly better too.
