Siri Eyes Free Integration Comes to Chevrolet’s MyLink System

Feb. 26, 2013 - PRLog -- Libertyville Chevrolet (http://www.libertyvillechevrolet.com/) has long been serving drivers throughout Chicagoland with the latest cars, trucks, and SUVs from Chevrolet, but it’s also a business that prides itself on keeping customers in the loop about the latest automotive news. With that, they’re pleased to announce the Siri Eyes Free integration has arrived, and is available on current sonic and Spark models equipped with the MyLink system.

Siri is an intelligent digital assistant that responds to users’ voice commands, and is available on iPhone, iPad, and iPod models. Since Siri can perform a number of tasks, it's an especially useful technology to anyone who’s on the road. Typically, Siri requires a button to be pressed on a compatible device in order to use, but Siri Eyes Free integration with Chevy’s MyLink system allows users to interact with Siri using only their voice, allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road. Users simply pair their device with MyLink via Bluetooth and use it with the steering wheel-mounted voice-activation button.

Chevrolet marketing director for small cars, Cristi Landy, said, “Safe, easy, reliable  and portable connectivity  is a top priority for our customers, and Siri complements MyLink’s existing capabilities to help deliver an incredible driving experience.”

Siri’s functionality when paired with Chevy’s MyLink system can make calls, play songs in a user’s iTunes library, listen to and compose text messages, and access a calendar, among other things.

Owners of the 2013 Spark (http://www.libertyvillechevrolet.com/new-inventory/spark/) or 2013 Sonic will be able to upgrade their MyLink system to take advantage of Siri Eyes Free integration beginning in March.  Additionally, the new Spark and Sonic come equipped with six months of OnStar’s Directions and connections service. This provides such vital services as Stolen Vehicle Assistance, Automatic Crash Response, Vehicle Diagnostics, and roadside Assistance.

Suffice to say that the 2013 Spark and 2013 Sonic will be getting even better with the addition of Siri Eyes Free integration.
