Chevrolet Next-Gen MyLink Wins CNET Best-of-CES Award!


In My Humble Opinion………
Did I get your attention?   I hope so!

Now onto great news!!  

Chevrolet Next-Gen MyLink Wins CNET Best-of-CES Award!

Citing its easy-to-use, smartphone-inspired interface, tech news provider CNET chose Chevrolet’s next-generation MyLink infotainment system as its 2013 Best-of-CES Award in the Car Tech category, beating in-vehicle app frameworks from Ford and Garmin.

“Cabin tech interfaces receive a lot of criticism for being clunky, ugly and slow, but Chevrolet may have cracked the code by copying the smartphone,” wrote CNET Senior Editor Wayne Cunningham. “The newest generation of the MyLink infotainment system runs smoothly and employs icons that look, and can be rearranged, like those on a smartphone.”

So, in summary MyLink rules!  In this day-and-age of complicated, high-tech gadgets (especially in vehicles) it’s nice to see Chevrolet once again is way ahead of the competition.  And, the fun part is MyLink is available on every model* Chevrolet offers! 

Here’s some additional information as well as features and benefits MyLink offers.  Enjoy!

In addition to icons covering everything from navigation to phone to music apps such as Pandora, Chevrolet’s next-gen MyLink is designed to accommodate new features and enhancements and be highly customizable. It also represents Chevrolet’s first use of natural language voice recognition that allows customers to safely place calls, enter destinations, browse media, play music and control other functions simply by telling the vehicle what to do.

Another first for Chevrolet is that the system can store up to 60 favorites, including radio stations (AM/FM/XM), contacts, destinations, music and other media. This feature is convenient for those who travel to the same destination regularly and want to save locations such as hotels and restaurants.

MyLink offers more but hopefully you got the point.  As Chevrolet continues “leading the pack” in state-of-the-art technology, design and safety you’re guaranteed a winning combination!
