If you own a 2011 General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/) vehicle equipped with OnStar (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/onstar) and you also carry an iPhone or Android-based phone, then you are in for a treat. Two new apps have just been released for your smartphones: myChevrolet and OnStar MyLink. OnStar MyLink works with the onboard OnStar system in your car and offers location-based services, such as a GPS parking reminder and vehicle reference material. The MyLink app also features a searchable database of warning lights, dashboard indicator lights and a variety of commonly searched features from the owner's manual.
The myChevrolet app takes things a step further. Working in conjunction with the OnStar app, the myChevrolet application allows you to lock or unlock the doors, start the engine and access a wealth of diagnostic information. The app allows you to see fuel level, remaining oil life and current tire pressure.
These features aren't just for Chevy (http://www.autoblog.com/make/chevrolet/) owners either; the app is available for Buick (http://www.autoblog.com/make/buick/), GMC (http://www.autoblog.com/make/gmc/) and Cadillac (http://www.autoblog.com/make/cadillac/) models, as well, in the form of myBuick, myGMC and myCadillac. All of the apps are available as a free download from the phone's respective app marketplace. The full details are available in GM's press blast, after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/02/gm-and-onstars-mobile-apps-now-available-on-iphone-and-android/#continued).
