Silverado MyLink Software upgrade / hack to add Text messages?


Recommended Posts

Does that price include the cell phone on screen app?

 

We have come up with a new program that makes this a little easier to get this done. You can send the module in to be programmed if you'd like...however your vehicle will basically be out of commission while the work is being done. If you would like to send it in we can do the service for $299.00 plus shipping back to you, which cost would depend on where you live and how quick you want it. Turnaround time once we receive the module would be a min. of 24 hrs to get it back out the door to you…it will not go back out the same day we receive the package.

Option 2 is a lot more popular; we can send you out a preprogrammed module to swap out for $349.00 plus shipping. This is normally $399.00 but we discounted it for forum members. We will be sending you out an $800.00 piece of equipment so there will be a core form that will need to be filled out and sent back to have on file. There will be no additional charge upfront, but the form is just to guarantee that we get your old locked module back to use in new condition.

Either option you go with the unlock will give you NAV Entry In-Motion (as long as your vehicle is equipped with factory navigation), Video In-Motion from your DVD/Blue Ray (If equipped with the factory overhead entertainment system), along with USB/SD MP4 & DIVIX In Motion as well as allowing for the viewing of the text messages in motion and not just having to listen to them which doesn’t always come out right.

Two questions ..... how well is your software ? And how does it work? Do you plug a computer into the module and just add the video in motion ? Or do you guy completely rewrite the software. Second question ... is if I'm driving threw town would someone be able to stop by and have the video in motion added ? Possibly for a cheaper price ?

We are not set up to drive through the town for this service. We are doing 3-4 of these a day and we do all custom programing on a bench. If you want to get this service done; we have to follow a very strict procedure so we don’t get modules mixed up with other customers vehicles. This programming service is extremely custom and is not offered by anyone else in the country. The only way to get this done is to choose from the 2 options noted in the previous post.

If the vehicle is serviced by a dealer, is there any risk of your coding being over written? What about during nav data updates?

Currently the way they perform the updates, we are unaffected. Nav updates will not affect us either. Now…can they get crazy and over write what we have done, sure. We have yet to have that happen, but if it does we would just ask that you provide us a copy of an RO showing it was in for service and we would be happy to redo it…there would just be some freight costs involved.

Does that price include the cell phone on screen app?

 

Cell phone imaging onto the screen is completely separate piece…external modules that get added to the system

It has been awhile since anyone posted to this topic, are these options still being offered? If so, what are the current or possible future ramifications with regards to the stance that Chevy has taken on ownership of vehicle software? Will you still offer reprogramming if for some reason there is some kind of overwrite?

I have an Android phone with navigation on it (blue arrow). I love it because you can view in satellite and see actual buildings etc. Is there a way to get that to play on the screen in my 2014 GMC Denali screen with nav?

Hi, I just bought a new Chevy Blazer 2019 and it doesn't have the text app in Chevy Mylink. Is there anyway that I can install it??

Thanks! 

That app no longer exists as it was replaced by car play and android auto default_smile.png

 

There have been talks of possibly putting it back in the app shop for people who want it so keep your eyes peeled.
