Modern vehicles are more connected than ever. With the myChevrolet mobile app, drivers can remotely control features like locking, unlocking, or starting the engine. The app also displays real-time data, including fuel level, tire pressure, and EV range, depending on the vehicle’s equipment.
For those exploring how to set up the myChevrolet app, the process is simple. With the right smartphone and account details, you can get started in just a few minutes. Let us walk you through the steps that make your vehicle smarter and easier to manage.
Download the App to Get Started
Start by downloading the myChevrolet mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. If the app is already installed, check for any available updates. A current version is more likely to support the latest features. Search for “myChevrolet” in the store and download it to a compatible smartphone. You will not need any tools or vehicle modifications to begin using the app.
Sign In Using Your GM Account
Once the app is on your phone, open it and sign in. Use the email you gave the dealer when buying your vehicle. This is the same one tied to your GM or OnStar account. First-time users will need to create an account. If you already have an OnStar plan, your vehicle will automatically sync with the app. That makes remote features available right away.
Go Through Identity Verification
To keep your vehicle secure, the app will ask you to verify your identity. This step may involve a multi-factor process, especially for new users or after app updates. This means you might need to confirm a code sent to your phone or email. It adds a layer of protection when linking your smartphone to your vehicle. Once done, your app will be ready to use.
Explore the Home Screen Features
The app opens to a clean and simple home screen. At the top, three tabs give you access to different tools. “My Vehicle” lets you check fuel levels, tire pressure, and EV charge status. The “Controls” tab gives you access to remote commands like starting or stopping the engine. The “Help Center” connects you to Roadside Assistance or lets you schedule service. The layout may differ based on your service plan or the way your vehicle is equipped.
Use Remote Commands With a Tap
Remote commands make the app feel like an extension of your vehicle. Tap and hold the icons to lock, unlock, or start the engine. Some vehicles also let you flash the lights or sound the horn from the app. If you do not see all remote options on the home screen, go to the Controls tab or tap “View More.” It may take a few seconds to process each request, but the app will guide you through it.
Access EV Tools for Electric Vehicles
If you drive an electric vehicle, the app brings added value. From the home screen, you can view your charge level and driving range. Tap the Map icon to find nearby charging stations or plan routes. This keeps you in control, especially during longer drives or when charging at public stations. Features may vary depending on the model and service plan.
Keep the App Updated
To make the most of your myChevrolet app, always keep it updated. New features and fixes roll out often, and staying current helps you avoid problems. Updates might also unlock more tools as your vehicle’s capabilities expand. Look out for app notifications or check your device’s app store regularly.
Start Exploring Features on Your Chevrolet
Once you finish setup, the myChevrolet app becomes a daily tool. From scheduling service to checking your tire pressure, it keeps everything in one place. You can even switch between vehicles if you own more than one. Tap your initials at the top of the screen to switch or add new vehicles to your profile.
Connect Service, Parts, and More with a Tap
The app is more than a remote control. You can use it to book service, order parts, or reach support anytime. Need an oil change? Tap “Service” to schedule your visit. Looking for accessories or a specific part? You can initiate this process directly within the app. It brings convenience to maintenance and lets you spend less time waiting and more time driving.
