Were you able to successfully install a software update to the radio to enable mylink functionality? In talking with my dealer it seems that the radio being installed in the current 2012 equinoxes do not have mylink functionality. There apparently are three radios, colortouch, colortouch nav, and the unreleased mylink radio (early 2012 select equinox models). I will note that this goes against all the advertising and documentation on the chevrolet website and press releases saying it is available on 2012 equinox models with no qualifiers or exceptions listed.

However if you were able to update the radio via that website to enable bluetooth audio streaming (not just phone, but A2DP protocol streaming) without usb plugged in, and also getting the pandora and skitched apps to appear, then the colortouch radio may be upgradeable to have mylink. Right now I don’t think you are using the “MyLink” capabilites with all the advertised capabilities. Just try unplugging the usb and then streaming audio over bluetooth. It should, but I betcha it won’t work, unfortunately 😉 GM needs to clear this up and fast!!!!!
