I have a 2014 Camaro w/ 2SS & RS...

I do not have a text app!
I will test the "hold steering wheel button for 2 secs" to see if Siri works (iPh5S)

I really wanna know why I don't have text app, & after reading this thread, it seems nobody knows how to update..

If you mean the "messages" button on your mylink is not showing, it is because you need to turn on "show notifications" in your bluetooth settings on your phone.

K tested Siri... Works perfect!

I checked off "show notifications", thx... But it didn't seem to change anything until I restarted car, then showed up!

Sweet lol my car just got even cooler lol didn't know I had Siri eyes or msg app ha!


Now if we can get a software update to add: http://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/

Oh & a way for mylink to play videos & read text msg while driving!

The MyLink and Infotainment unit aren't developed and managed by GM itself. It's a company that GM contract to create the parts, software, and firmware for each of their vehicle models.

In Canada a company call York Electronics handles all of this for GM. This is why you can't update it yourself (since this company may be charging GM for these services), that's probably how they capitalize on the partnership.

At the end of the day it's a political struggle between the users, GM and the vendor.

Thanks a lot I always wanted to know how this worked!!!! I did what you said and it worked!!!!

Can you read text messages on the MyLink screen on a '14 2SS/RS? If so how do you do you do that?

Has there been any more progress on hacking the mylink? I've been following this thread for a while. Looks like things kind of fell off.

Does anyone know for certain if MyLink software versions beginning with the '14 Mylinks are downward compatible to the '13 Mylink ?

"do you need it physically with you?"
Yes but I only need the base circuit board.

I access the firmware IC directly to read/backup or change.
I don't really care about making money from this. I just like to
DIY my own stuff and its even a greater challenge when someone
like GM try's to lock us out of our own equipment.

There are two methods of doing this.... my way accessing through a hardware back door or the factory method.
Now the factory method can be somewhat diy as well.
You buy one of these little guys "VXDIAG VCX Nano GDS2 and Tech2Win Diagnostic Programming System for GM/Opel" it will mimic the factory GM programming tool for a fraction of the cost. You will still have to pay for logging onto GM's network to use the tool.
