Can mylink connect to iPhone hotspot?
I remember being able to view apps such as the weather channel on mylink when I was still under the free trial period with onstar, but now that I have unlimited data on my iphone 8 can I reverse the connection and get mylink connected using the mobile hotspot on the iphone to make the mylink apps work again?

Awesome! How do I set it up. I know how to get the hotspot on the phone working but how do I connect the car to it?

It's in the "Shop" settings. If you open the Shop it should try to connect to the default (Onstar) and then ask you if you wanna adjust the settings when it can't. You can probably find it in the normal settings though.

So if you have a 2016 model without the shop you can't do it?

You won't find "Connect to hotspot" mentioned so to speak in the manual. It does mention connecting myLink to WiFI.
Correct, in Settings there is a WiFi menu. Pick your AP and type the password...done.

How to use your iPhone as a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot
This works on a 2017 ZL1. Make sure your iPhone’s data plan is sufficient for both your phone and auto usage. Power iPhone thru console (not thru CARPLAY Aux port) On iPhone: SETTINGS: DISPLAY & BRIGHTNESS - AUTO-LOCK —> NEVER (this ensures your iPhone will not automatically shut off thus disconnecting the hotspot) WIFI —> ON PERSONAL HOTSPOT - PERSONAL HOTSPOT —> ON Use PASSWORD shown to set up MYLINK WIFI After WiFi setup before starting car, Turn on iPhone to PERSONAL HOTSPOT which will now be discoverable by car. SETTINGS - CELLULAR - CELLULAR DATA —> ON On car: MYLINK SETTINGS: WIFI WIFI —> ON MANAGE WIFI NETWORKS ADD OTHER NETWORK IPHONE, security WPA2, use PASSWORD from iPhone personal hotspot After setup you may have to occasionally go to MANAGE WIFI NETWORKS and select IPHONE from available networks
