8 Things You Can Do With Your myChevrolet App

Today, no matter what problem or desire you have, you can count on someone saying, “There’s an app for that.” And that’s true for staying connected with your Chevy, thanks to the myChevrolet app. Chevy recently made major improvements to its myChevrolet app based on user feedback. These improvements have resulted in a more user-friendly interface with more intuitive features, tools, and assistance that real drivers have requested. If you live in the Moore, Texas region, we at North Park Chevrolet would be proud if you considered us your local Moore Chevy dealer and paid us a visit so we could show you how Chevy vehicles are leading the pack in innovation with the myChevrolet app.

Your car is one of your most precious possessions, and we love that this app helps you stay up to date on valuable information pertaining to the health of your vehicle. This one little app can help you protect one of your biggest investments. It also has some features that are just a ton of fun to play with. Below, you can take a brief look at all of the surprising things you can do with the app.

Compatibility

First off, note that the myChevrolet app is compatible with Android 9 and up, and all iPhones with iOS 13.0 or later. It’s also available for Apple Watch, so if you don’t feel like carrying around your smartphone, you can access most of this handy app’s features right on your wrist—the same place you take calls and check the time. Just log into your Chevrolet or OnStar account to get the app set up for your car. As for vehicle compatibility, the myChevrolet app works on all capable 2015 GM models or newer. Be sure to ask us if the car you’re interested in works with this great app.

Remote Commands

Using your myChevrolet app, you can remotely lock, unlock and even start the ignition on your vehicle. On those nights you have to park several blocks from your destination and can’t remember whether or not you locked the car; you can get peace of mind knowing that you can simply do so right from your phone. This is also a huge benefit when you lose your key. You can still start the car ignition, even without your key, so long as you have the app, which can provide a temporary replacement until you get a new key. And if a friend wants to retrieve something from your car but you’re not comfortable handing them the keys, just unlock it using your app. It’s that simple.

Keep Up With Important Info

In addition to letting you lock, unlock and start your car remotely, the app also allows you to check important vehicle data from wherever you are. This means you can look into fuel levels or battery life, and plan accordingly. If you find yourself sitting in the office, unsure if you have to leave early to get gas for your next destination, simply open up your app and take a look. And if you do have an electric vehicle but aren’t sure if it’s charged up enough for your next ride, the app can show you that information, too.

The app will also show you when it’s time to get an oil change and lets you see your tire pressure. Being aware of these numbers can help prevent mishaps on the road and let you get ahead of any issues. The app also lets you select your preferred service schedule and reminds you when to go in for servicing. Plus, it will let you know of any recalls on your vehicle so you can quickly bring it to your local dealer to address critical replacements and repairs.

Locate Your Vehicle

Hopefully, your vehicle never gets stolen. But if it does, the myChevrolet app connects to a tracker on your vehicle and shows you your car’s location in real-time. This can help you swiftly track your car down if it goes missing. All crime aside, it’s also handy when you simply don’t remember when you parked your car. If you visit any of the massive parks around the Moore area, it’s easy to lose track of your car after a long day of hiking (or even simply after a long day of shopping at the cute boutiques in town).

Member Benefits

Don’t forget to enroll in the Chevrolet Rewards Program, through which you can earn points to use towards things like future services, accessories, and even the purchase of a new car. The app conveniently tracks your rewards, so you know when you’ve accumulated enough to add that cool new phone holster or those comfy carpeted floor mats. And when you’re ready to get your next vehicle, apply your rewards for a real cash discount.

Learn About Your Driving Habits

If you’re open to feedback about your driving habits, the Smart Driver feature on the myChevrolet app is a big perk. It collects data about your driving behaviors and gives you tips on how to improve. If you’ve faced down a few tickets in recent years and would like to put an end to that, let the Smart Driver feature gently direct you on how to be the best driver you can be. This app might also help you save money with your insurance provider, as many offer discounts for good driving habits.

Family Sharing

If multiple family members drive your vehicle, they can all use the myChevrolet app on their respective phones to access all of these features. The app allows for up to eight family members to be added to each vehicle. You can also manage your Wi-Fi hotspot data plan on the app—so if you notice you need to increase your plan for your family, that’s easily done on your smartphone.

Trailering

If you like to make use of the wide-open roads around the Moore region to hitch an RV or camper to your vehicle and enjoy some time outdoors, there are many great Chevrolets, like the Silverado 1500 or 2500, to do that with. And what’s more, is that the myChevrolet app can help you do so safely. The app lets you run a trailer test, activating the trailer brake lights and turn signals to ensure those are working. Furthermore, its trailer load calculator helps you get an exact weight for your vehicle and towed load combined, so you know exactly what you’re working with. Remember that towing more than your car can handle can result in hefty fines, or worse, an accident, so always use this feature before trailering anything with your Chevy.

If You Have an Electric Vehicle…

You might have heard that GM plans to go all electric by 2035, so it’s no surprise that their myChevrolet app has some features for electric vehicles. If you do have an EV, you’ll appreciate that the app shows you where the nearest charging stations are in your area. It also gives you an update on the range of your vehicle and helps you find routes that stay within your range. We suspect that’s only the beginning of the EV-friendly features on this app. Chevrolet is constantly improving the myChevrolet app to reflect drivers’ habits and preferences. Be sure to check in with your favorite app store to see when there’s a new version available.
