Update MyLink?

[technicholas]

Is there a way to update the Chevy Mylink? My dad has a 2014 Silverado and he is complaining after I got his iPhone 7 Plus that he has weird Bluetooth issues when I call the dealers they are confused and not sure about the firmware update.

I have a 2014 and haven't been able to update it yet. There may be an aftermarket solution but I don't believe GM will do it.

They did mine. It's a 2016 tho

I think '16 and prior the dealership has to update and most are clueless on it. My '17 allows me to update when connected to wifi. I've only had the truck for 3 weeks and tried it once and it said there were no updates, so have not tried it again.

I wish I could update mine via WiFi... I can update all my other electronics myself. Seems like a cash-grab for the dealerships to hold all the power to do this (and rake in the cash). Can you imagine if Apple made us go to an Apple Store to update our phones??? :|

Talk to MVI (vendor on here), you can upgrade your HMI to ACP or AA, (Apple Car Play & Android Auto) requires a new HMI depending on your current radio, & some other parts. It will be faster as well since the new HMI's have a bit more power to run the newer software and functions. This "may" fix some of your Bluetooth issues and future proof the truck. Not sure people go without ACR its fantastic addition plugged in, I don't use Bluetooth option.

 

hoping to talk with the MVI guys myself, I want to add the store to my 2016 and since I have wifi I can see about adding apps from the store in the future. along with other BCM control module programing I want done, with movie playback, and full access to nav while driving.

I have a 2014 Z71 Silverado, any clue what the dealer would charge to update my software, also what all would I get out of an update?

If it's still under warranty they can check for updates for free but the updates will NOT add the newer 2016/2017 features like CarPlay and Android Auto. That takes new hardware and needs to be done aftermarket by somebody like MVI or Chris White.
