I have a 2013 Camaro RS and am very happy with it. However, I can't figure out how to remove stations from my Favorites list. Any suggestions folks? Thanks!

Mike,

this - source allows you to move from favorite channel to favorite channel, continuing to next or previous page after the last/first favorite channel.

I dont have to look down for very long, but in the beginning I did have to. Took about a month to get used to it. The one thing I cant stand about the radio is the source button right above the volume knob. Every time i turn it up, my finger hits the dam button, then I have to go back to the source i was on. Other then that, I say pay the extra and get mylink and navigation.

I have found it too distracting at times...

I came from an Infiniti EX35 and that has better placement of the screen, up high. So when I got into my Camaro the first day a few weeks ago it was a little strange for sure that it was so low.

Now after a few weeks I think it's fine. You honestly don't check it out that much.

Changing between favorites, the buttons are all at the bottom of the screen, easy enough to glance over and hit them without having to think much.

Directions are on the HUD and on the DIC.

You also have the voice controls that I've ended up using a lot "Bluetooth Audio" for instance to get it to play my tunes on my Windows Phone.

Reversing is also fine using it as a camera, most of the time I'm just looking at the screen and my side mirrors. Just go slow if you need more time.

It's a pretty awesome system overall, better than I was expecting.

Im 6 ft even, I dont take my eyes off the road to adjust the mylink more than using the stereo/nav in my other vehicles.
as mentioned the steering wheel controls do majority of inputs anyways.
when backing up I scan left mirror>right mirror>mylink backup camera before moving and it seems to work fine.

unofficial Igo Nav firmware? I searched where does one read about that.

CamaroJim56 · 05-05-2013, 02:32 PM

3 months now with the NAV, no problems. I am probably among a small percentage, that doesn't even use the back up camera. Not the way I back up. Window down, and head out, and I can just about put it on a dime.

I agree with someone above, it doesn't take me any longer to change a station or any other normal procedures than it did in my 2011 2LT.

I've got 10,000+ miles on my '13 and so far no accidents or even close calls. Only complaint I've had (and Chevy is still trying to find a fix for it) is the fan indicator number freezes when the car has been idle for awhile. I have to turn the car off then re-start it and it works fine. But for $35,000+, I demand perfection.

No problems here and I'm 6'. Well one issue and that is the HVAC control knob blocks my oil pressure gauge. Sucks being tall.

Here are the voice commands for the My Link radio. Try them out. It works good.
