If you’re looking for features then I got some bad news. I’m pretty sure they haven’t done any feature upgrades, only some basic updates I believe. Don’t think I’ve seen any feature get passed down to earlier years

Not gonna happen, unfortunately. Most likely there are literally zero programmers at GM still touching the 2016-18 platform.

Tell me about it. I'd happily do it for free in my spare time.

i have an 18 zl1, just picked up my car for a weird backup camera flicker as well as other issues (parking brake locking up etc.) funny enough the stereo had a TSB and update for the issue. But according to my family, my Bluetooth audio sounds much better to the point they thought i was wearing my Bluetooth headphones. You wont get new features, but this was a common complaint alot of people had ( call quality ).

Thanks. I looked at their SDK, it seems the best we can do is a Torque-like app or a media player (yawn), no access to the real things I'd actually want to fix or enhance, such as enabling HUD shift lights, changing the DIC display logic or modifying some aspects of nav rendering. Still may be worth playing with for some monitoring fun.

Hey biker2k,



You can make an app which uses a camera as base and collects data through an OBD dongle. Perhaps the OBD data is already avaiable in Chevy's MyLink. The only question is how to trigger the camera...
Perhaps there is a possibility to trigger the data recording and the camera by our mobile phone (which means one app for the mobile phone and one app for Chevy's MyLink. You could save the data to a USB drive.



I don't know much about programming. But I think, the MyLink is somehow Android based. Therefore, it should be possible to make programms for Android professionals...
