In the ever growing selection of infotainment systems in today’s vehicles, General Motors has recently filed a trademark for the “Intellilink” name, describing the system as an “electronic interface module sold as an integral part of a motor land vehicle for wired and wireless interface of handheld electronic devices.”
That sounds exactly like the MyLink system to us. So what does this mean? It could amount to nothing. Or it could mean that The General feels that the MyLink name has gotten stale already — or too similar to the MyFordTouch name. Or it could perhaps mean that there is some sort of expansion system in the works. We’ll find out soon enough.

Ford got it right, GM’s On Star tryed to be a classy consierge service for every joe and jane, Ford’s My Touch is smart phone up to date for the young modern consumer, GM has to play me too and catch up because Ford got it right, it’s not like this wheel is going to be reinvented soon, unless GM can partner with IBM for a WATSON ON BORD robotic personal assistant brought to you by On Star, I do’nt think computing power is cheep enough or G5 or even G6 bondwith plentifull enough for this to happen YET.
