MyChevrolet App: A New Way to Connect with Your Vehicle

Star Command, do you read me?

Or, should we say, Chevy vehicle, do you read me?

Communicating with our vehicles can sometimes feel like Buzz Lightyear contacting Star Command – a one-sided conversation that leads to even more unanswered questions. However, Chevy has found a way to change all that…

Enter the myChevrolet mobile app. Designed to bridge the gap between driver and vehicle, the app turns your smartphone into a mobile command center, letting you connect with your ride like never before.

Keep reading to see how the mobile app aims to make your life easier behind the wheel, and how we can help along the way!

What Does the myChevrolet App Do?

Whether you are cruising through town in the Chevy Trailblazer or flying down city streets in the Corvette ZR1, the myChevrolet mobile app allows you to take your Chevy ownership to the next level.

Stress over car maintenance is a thing of the past with the myChevrolet app. Check your vehicle’s health with Vehicle Status, which allows you to

• Know if your tires are over- or underinflated
• See the current fuel level in advance
• Stay up to date on your Chevy’s oil life – and when it’s time to schedule a Chevy oil change near you
• Schedule a service appointment and check for vehicle recalls

While staying ahead of tire pressure concerns and oil life are necessary to extend your vehicle’s life, there are some features that exist just to make life easier.

The myChevrolet app remote start is one of those features.

Operating as a remote key fob, you can start, stop, lock, and unlock your vehicle – without ever setting foot outside the front door. Never worry about cold Owatonna mornings again – get your Chevy warmed up with a simple push of a button!

Other features found on the myChevrolet mobile app include:

• GM rewards
• Family sharing
• Wi-Fi Hotspot management
• Vehicle location with walking directions
• Access to built-in navigation to send map points from your phone to your dashboard

MyChevrolet App EV Features

The myChevrolet mobile app is not just for your gas-guzzlers – it can help make owning an EV simpler.

Keep up with your vehicle’s inner workings with Vehicle Status, which lets you view battery charge status, energy-assist notifications, and plug-in reminders.

Find nearby charging stations with ease, pay for a top-up straight from your smartphone, and use Trip Planner and Energy Bubble features to plan how far you can travel at your current battery charge level.

How to Set Up the myChevrolet App

Setting up the myChevrolet app only takes a few minutes, and we’ve made it simple with just a few steps.

1. Download the App

The first step will be to download the myChevrolet app to your phone. Apple users can find the myChevrolet app for iPhone in the App Store. MyChevrolet for Android is available on the Google Play Store. The app icon will have the Chevrolet badge logo. Tap to download and install.

2. Create Your Account

Once the app is downloaded, you’ll create your account or sign in if you have GM credentials. Use the same email address you used when you bought or leased your vehicle, as it will be the key the system uses to recognize you.

If you have an OnStar account or My GM Rewards, you can use those login credentials. If not, new users will undergo a multi-factor authentication process to verify their email and identity.

3. Add Your Chevy

Now that your account is set up, you can add your Chevy vehicle to the app. There are two methods to achieve this: the VIN number or menu options.

Your vehicle identification number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code you can enter directly in the app. It can be found on your registration, dashboard, or documents from House Chevrolet Owatonna when you bought or leased your vehicle.

The second method lets you search through menus by selecting your vehicle’s make, model, and year.

After entering your vehicle information, the app will verify it, and you will need to confirm your ownership via a security question, then voila! You are ready to start accessing all the perks of the myChevrolet app!

If you experience any issues during setup or have questions about how to use the app, our team at House Chevrolet Owatonna is here to help.
