Just got thru with a cross country vacation. First screen shot is going thru part of Missouri and Nebraska, heading home. Looks like speeding helps fuel mileage!

 

Second screenshot is mileage for this month. Lots of mountain driving in Virginia mountain tops. Tennessee wasn't near as bad.

 

I don't drive it to try and get fuel efficiency, I drive it to get the torque feel.

 

Can hardly wait for summer fuel.

I wish the My Chevrolet app had this feature.

GMC is so kind to give you tips on your driving also. Like...make sure to leave early, so you don't have hard acceleration events!

Are you sure it doesn't?

 

Near as I can tell 'driving activity' section is a new 'thing' for the gmc app too.

Unless I'm overlooking it, there isn't a spot in the app for it. I've even looked in the Edit Dashboard section.

You have to log in to your OnStar account. Somewhere in there, is a place to tick a box to sign up for Smart driver, it is included, just need to allow them to "watch" your driving.

 

If you drive nice and have, I think State Farm ins, you can get a discount on ins.

 

I don't believe you have to update the app. It's just there, after signing up on the webpage.

I have it and see it on my account, but see nowhere to enable it.

I will say Chevrolet web site sucks compared to gmc. GMC'S website has alot more detailed explanation. 

 

AND....you can un-enroll, if you don't want gm creeping on you.

Isn't that the truth. You'd think they'd all be very simliar.

Just a WAG you could try, as I can't see chevys side of onstar, but at the top on gmcs side, there is a search function on top of the page. I typed in Smart driver and it populated a page that allows me to turn it off or on by a slider on my phone.

I don't think I've ever logging into onstar...but it showed up in the mygmc app.

 

 

After selecting a vehicle, the vehicle screen has items/apps for

- key fob

- vehicle status

- vehicle locate.

- Smart driver

- wi-fi hotspot

- safety and security

- navigation

-- and about 7 more

I think that is if you are searching for that truck. I have the same slider, but no Smart Driver option in my app. Who knows. I wonder if it is because my account is setup as a fleet.

Inside the mygmc app, on the phone, scrolling to the bottom finds an 'edit dashboard' box that can be selected, and inside that it can be selected/unselected as an active app.

Again, not in the Chevrolet app.
