Chevy Connected Services provide access to navigation, entertainment, and a range of safety features for added peace of mind on the road. OnStar powers it and allows you to choose the plan that works best for you. We’ll take a closer look at all its options.
Chevy Connected Services: Connecting You to the Digital World
OnStar Basics
Every new Chevy has complimentary OnStar Basics access for eight years. It provides a range of invaluable services, including real-time navigation and traffic information, Google Assistant, Google Maps, Alexa Built-in, and Waze. It also includes built-in voice assistance for hands-free access to the infotainment system and your smartphone or smartwatch if they’re paired to your Chevy.
In addition, OnStar Basics provides remote commands so you can access many of your Chevy’s systems from anywhere using the free myChevrolet app and Automatic Crash Response. This feature uses sensors in your Chevy to detect a collision and automatically send the details to the OnStar call center. A live agent will attempt to contact you and will arrange for the dispatch of emergency services to your location.
