Here Are The Chevy MyLink Voice Commands You’ll Ever Need
Sponsored Links
Chevrolet sure didn’t make many friends by delaying its new MyLink infotainment system. But that didn’t stop us from compiling a list voice commands for the setup. Overall, the commands look very straightforward and easy to use… but we can’t wait to get some real hands-on time with the system to check out its voice recognition capabilities, powered by Nuance.

but whay about for navigation?
I don’t think anyone has used those yet…
I ask because I saw on the Sync system it does it so like ex: Im hungry then it directs you to the point of interest (or something like that)
‘RDS OFF’ will turn off the RDS info for the rest of that journey. Useful to stop it interfering with a heads up display.
When I press the button on the steering wheel to voice a command it never beeps.
How can I fix that?
I wish that Chevy would put your list in the user manual for their vehicles! It would make learning the MyLink system so much easier. You have helped many by publishing this. Thanks!
That should be up to your product specialist/ salesman to show you some of the basic commands
If you go to the http://www.cheverolet.com web site, then manuals and how-to videos, find the year and model of your vehicle then choose “view supplement and navigation radio”, you will get a PDF document that explains the radio system with all commands, what they mean and how to use them. A very helpful document
spelling correction: http://www.chevrolet.com
When I press the command button on the steering wheel, it always says “You don’t have enough minutes to make a call”, no matter what command I give it. WTH?
press the command button on steering wheel, then say “verbose on”!!!
your welcome, my name is Steve and I work at a GM Dealer. In Watertown WI.
any ideas as to how to get the photos feature to actually work from the media inputs?
My call button worked for about 5 months then stopped all of the sudden. all it does it turn off my radio now. what causes this? no one at GM or the dealership has ever seen this happen. no one will help me
Help!
Instead of dialing phone number, it says “not enough Onstar minutes” even though didn’t go to Onstar. How do we get out of Onstar and place a phone call? Cannot find any Onstar buttons.
Can we use voice recognition to reply to a text in a 2014 Chevy cruse lx
You can say “Display Off” to turn off the Mylink display.
If it one day data !! May be you are a music freak 😀 Try to more focus on drive 🙂 well thanks for your secret sheet 😉
My 16 Traverse can’t hear me when I use voice recognition. Does anyone knows what that could be. Dealer has been looking at it for two days with no results.
Does anyone know how to clear the call list on a 2016 Equinox LS?
The voice “redial last number” command stopped working recently. Any hints on how to correct this. Seems like all other commands are working as expected.
My voice recognition is stuck in French an I can’t get it to English
I bought a used 2012 Chevy traverse and when I try to Bluetooth my phone to it it says speech not heard on my car what can I do to pair my voice with my voice recognition
My 2016 had a same problem with the Bluetooth system. Dealer looked at it for two days then decided to change the cable from the system to the fuse box in the back. Unfortunately the cable ran from the front of the vehicle to the back under the roof so it was a lot of work just to change the cable. Luckily I was still under warranty.
all the buttons on the steering wheel do is change the radio station LOL
