Siri eyes free for 2013 Camaro? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Wondering if anyone knows if there is an update to get the Siri eyes free on our 2013 infotainment units. It seems like it should be pretty easy to add the software to our existing cars( the infotainment units are the same as in the 2014, right?). Hopefully GM gives the 2013 drivers the ability to safely use their iPhones as well.

Well it IS possible, but not probable:

"Note: Certain 2013 Spark and Sonic vehicles equipped with MyLink will require a simple no-charge radio software update in order to enable Siri functionality. Contact your Dealership Service Department to learn more or make an appointment."

It might just be a matter of installing the 2014 firmware/software on the 2013 system...

Can not be done with the 2013 radios.

Do you know the technical reason(s) why, if there in fact are any?
