We all want the latest-and-greatest technology gracing the center stack of our vehicle, and we at Watrous Mainline think you’ll appreciate what the Chevrolet MyLinkTM1 infotainment system can offer you. Every Chevy model comes equipped with this technology on one of its trim levels, and we’re always happy to show off just how much it can do! Give us a call at 866-839-9889 to speak with a personable member of our staff.

One of the primary goals of infotainment systems, such as Chevrolet MyLinkTM1 is total integration with your mobile phone in an effort to promote safety. We know it’s hard to set the smartphone down sometimes, especially when you hear it ping or vibrate in the cup holder. Chevrolet MyLinkTM1 takes away that temptation by putting the controls right on your steering wheel, or accessible using just the sound of your voice. SiriusXM® Satellite Radio2 offers you numerous commercial-free channels for entertainment, and internet radios like Pandora®3 and Stitcher SmartRadioTM3 round out the immediately available options. All three can be accessed directly from the touchscreen on the center stack, making it easy to play whatever playlist suits your fancy. You can opt to equip your Chevrolet MyLinkTM1 with turn-by-turn navigation4 to encourage you when the wanderlust hits, and that comes with a 3-month trial of the OnStar® Guidance Plan5.

There are a number of measures that have been taken to ensure you keep your phone out of your hands on Chevrolet MyLinkTM1, starting with Siri® Eyes Free6. If you’re rocking the latest iPhone®, you can utilize this system for hands-free interaction with text messages, and you’ll find a similar system for Android users called Text Message Alerts7. Fan-favorites of this infotainment system include Apple CarPlayTM8 and Android AutoTM9, which offer a seamless connection to your mobile phone on the built-in touchscreen when you plug in via a USB port10. Whether you want ultimate access to the music stored on your phone, maps, messages, or compatible apps, this is the way to do it, especially since you can find this as an option on everything from the on-trend Malibu to the tough Silverado.

There’s a special perk to Chevrolet MyLinkTM1 for parents and their high-school-age kids who’ve recently received their license: Teen Driver Technology. Enable this setting using a PIN, and there’s a whole host of security measures put into place for when your teenager is at the wheel. If front seat occupants aren’t wearing their seatbelts, the radio won’t play, and you can also preset a limit on the volume. If your Chevy has driver-assist features, they’re permanently turned on, and then the in-vehicle report card alerts you if they were triggered. Finally, the Chevy will also give audible and visual warnings should they exceed a preset speed limit.

Open up a whole new world of integration when you choose a vehicle equipped with Chevrolet MyLinkTM Technology near Saskatoon, SK! Come to Watrous Mainline and test out this infotainment system in person in any number of our used and new Chevy vehicles! We’re conveniently located at 208 1st Avenue East, Box 70, in Watrous, SK. We hope to see you soon!
