How to Set Up My Chevy App
Once you set up the Chevy app, you can control your car from your phone. It only takes a few minutes to learn how. The app connects you to your vehicle, no matter where you are.
We've made setting up easy in four steps. Each step builds on the last to get you connected. Here's what you need to know to start using your Chevy app today.
Step 1: Download the MyChevrolet App
First, download the MyChevrolet mobile app to your phone. iPhone users should go to the Apple App Store. Android users should visit the Google Play store. Search for "MyChevrolet" to find the app.
Make sure it's the right app by checking the publisher. The app icon has the Chevrolet bowtie logo. Tap the download or install button to start.
After installing, check for updates. New versions add features and security fixes. Enable automatic updates in your phone's settings to stay current.
Step 2: Create Your MyChevrolet Account
Now, create your account or sign in if you have GM credentials. This step links your identity to your vehicle. Your account gives you secure access to remote features.
Use the same email as when you bought or leased your vehicle. This email is key for the system to recognize you. If your email is different, you might need to update it with us first.
New users will go through a multi-factor authentication process. This extra step adds security. You'll get a verification code via email or text that you'll need to enter.
If you have an OnStar account or My GM Rewards, you can use those login details. The system recognizes your existing GM account. This makes the process faster for GM customers.
Step 3: Add Your Chevrolet Vehicle
With your account ready, add your Chevrolet to the app. You have two easy methods to choose from. Both work well, so pick what feels easier to you.
The first method is to enter your vehicle identification number directly into the app. Your VIN is a unique 17-character code. You can find it on your dashboard, registration, or documents from Northcutt Chevrolet.
The second method lets you search by selecting your vehicle's make, model, and year. The app will guide you through menus to find your vehicle. This option is good if you don't have your VIN handy.
After entering your vehicle info, the app will verify it. You might need to confirm ownership by answering a security question. This step protects your vehicle from unauthorized access.
Step 4: Enable Remote Access Services
The final step activates the remote features of the app. Your vehicle needs to connect with the app. This connection lets you send commands from your phone to your car.
Check your OnStar subscription status in the app settings. Different levels offer different features. Basic functions are available with all connected vehicles, while premium features need an active OnStar plan.
Verify your vehicle connection by checking the vehicle status screen. You should see your odometer reading, fuel level, and more. If this data appears, your connection is good.
Keep your app updated for the best connection. Updates improve connectivity and add new features. If you have trouble setting up, our team at Northcutt Chevrolet is here to help.
Your Chevy app is now set up and ready to use. Explore the various features and commands available to you. The next section will show you how to use the most popular features of your connected vehicle system.
