Along with announcing the 1LE performance package for the 2013 Camaro, Chevrolet also announced the availability of the MyLink system for the 2013 Camaro. Specifically, the system will be available (as an option) on the LT, SS, and ZL1, but not in the LS.
As you may know, MyLink is Chevy’s all-new infotainment system that significantly increases the level of in-vehicle connectivity by incorporating a color touch radio (7 inches, in the case of the Camaro), with AM/FM/Sirius XM tuners, auxiliary and USB inputs, online services (such as Pandora and Stitcher) using hands-free voice and touch-screen controls via the data connection of a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, stereo audio streaming (Bluetooth/A2DP), and voice-activated Bluetooth hands-free calling.
MyLink also incorporates an optional navigation system, marking the first time a Camaro will offer a GPS navigation system in the dash.
The GM Authority Take
We’ve been waiting (and begging — see below) for an infotainment system for the Camaro for quite a while now — and we’re stoked that it will finally become a reality. Now, how about incorporating some new-school track apps into the touchscreen to track 0-60 runs, quarter-mile times, and 60-0 braking distance? The 2013 Mustang’s got ’em, and so does the 2012 Charger.
Comments
Camaro interior joins the 21st century, hooray. I second the motion for vehicle performance apps, they must be in development and ready soon since they’re relatively simple, just a matter of how they’ll look and what sort of interface to use, which graphics is play the information the best. Better question is when will they be coming, and will they be free or $X.99 from a Chevy MyLink app store? For Chevy’s sake, they better be free because that would be some serious nickel and diming. This should be a very easy way for Chevy to add something that is readily demoed that will be a popular feature to show off.
i fully agree with you on that they need performance apps available for chevy mylink.
Forget that I want a 1ls with the V8
There is no 1LS with a V8, you have to step up to the 1SS or 2SS/
Chevy offers very few options on their LS models because they really don’t want to sell too many of the advertising price leader, low margin versions. Therefore the ugly black “heritage” steel wheels they saddle the LS Camaro with. Or choose the “LPO” optional 21s staring at $4,680, about 20% of the cars $24k base price.
Absolutely correct.
When is the smart phone option going to be available for the My Link in a Camaro? It seems it is only available in the Spark and Sonic..
