HOW TO INSTALL BLUETOOTH IN CHEVROLET VEHICLES

Bluetooth for hands-free calling has been around for several years. Chevrolet MyLinkTM1 takes that Bluetooth technology to the next level with streaming audio. Most devices can be paired to the Bluetooth system and if your device supports streaming audio, your music will play over the vehicle's stereo speakers, without ever having to be plugged in, keeping your cabin uncluttered and wire-free.

Pair Your Device

To access many of Chevrolet MyLink'sTM1 features, you must first pair your device to the system. MyLink is compatible with most Bluetooth®-enabled devices; however, to utilize some of the more advanced features, you must have a smartphone that runs on iPhone® OS, BlackBerry®, or AndroidTM platforms.
