Hello, I have the same phone as you and a Camaro.
Perhaps I can be of assistance?

The only thing I can't seem to get it to do is activate voice commands on the phone. Currently, when I want to start a voice command to search, text, or start an app, I have to pick up the phone, press and hold the Windows button to actually do it.

I was wondering if you guys found a way to invoke that through the car.

Note: this is different than invoking the voice command of the car itself. WP8 has built-in voice commands for certain actions like... "Text James..."

Hello, have you try holding down the talk button on the steering wheel?
The latest firmware update on both the infotainment unit and the phone should resolve this. If you're having issue still, make sure in your Windows Phone's bluetooth setting, under Advance, set to "Connect in a different way to use Speech with Bluetooth in my car"

Try that, and use WMA Pro, see if it fails. I have a feeling is mostly pre MyLink Camaro that fails.

The only thing I can't do is stream music through Bluetooth. I was told by the people at the Microsoft store that the 920 isn't capable of that.

I have a 920 and I can stream bluetooth perfectly.
My head unit is running on firmware DB/DD, where DB is the hardware version and DD is the software version.

What you do is, under the bluetooth menu, it'll ask you a series of questions, like do you want to use this device for phone, navigation or music.

There should be 2 bluetooth connection that you need to make on your phone.
You may also want to go to the bluetooth Advanced menu of your 920 and set it to "Connect in a different way to use Speech with Bluetooth in my car" if you want to use the Windows Phone commands.

The 2 connection are:

GMusicConnect for music streaming
Your Vehicle for phone calls, phone voice command, voice SMS etc.

If you want to use voice SMS and other in vehicle phone command, you'll need to go to the Driving Mode settings. From here select the the bluetooth device, ie Your Vehicle and set the text settings. Afterwards, if you're ever near your Camaro, it'll auto connect as vehicle mode.

This will ensure you can stream music and use most if not all functionality on your 920.

You'll need to update to the latest firmware, just go to software update under settings to do so.
