Siri Eyes Free for iPhone Users
How to Use Siri Eyes Free
Siri Eyes Free gives compatible iPhone users handsfree access to some of their phone’s features, like
the calendar and text messaging. Chevrolet is the first
manufacturer in-market with Siri Eyes Free.
Owners simply connect their iPhone with the MyLink
radio via Bluetooth, pair with the system, and use the
Push-to-Talk (PTT) button on the steering wheel controls
to begin and end sessions with Siri in Eyes Free mode.
Press and hold the PTT button until Siri speaks; pressing
and holding the PTT button for too short a period of time
will engage the onboard voice recognition system and

Siri Eyes Free allows users to direct Siri to perform a
number of tasks while they safely keep their eyes on the
road and their hands on the wheel. To further minimize
distraction, Siri takes hands-free functionality even
further with an Eyes Free mode that enables users to
interact with their iPhone using nothing more than
their voice while keeping the device’s screen from
lighting up, one more potential distraction that Siri
Eyes Free eliminates.
• Make voice-activated, hands-free calls to contacts on
their iPhone
• Play songs in the iTunes library and even switch
music sources automatically from AM/FM/XM radio
to iPod mode
• Listen to, compose and send an iMessage or
text message to a phone number or anyone in
saved Contacts

BringGo Guidance While Driving
TuneIn Radio Opens Up the World
of Radio
While you’re under guidance, a number of BringGo
features give you map view options to help you as
you drive.
This is a really fun app that provides access to more than
70,000 radio stations around the world, free of charge,
although data rates do apply. Unlike Pandora, which is
like a “mix tape,” TuneIn features live streaming of global
radio. To use:
• Lane guidance helps you safely prepare for your next
maneuver by displaying the correct lane(s) to stay in.
Lane Guidance appears in the “Next Street Name” box.
The highlighted arrow indicates the correct lane(s). The
example below indicates a left turn
• Download app from iTunes (iPhone) or Google Play
(Droids) to smartphone
• Signposts provide a realistic representation of actual
signs at complex highway junctions. The signpost
replaces the normal “Next Street Name” box at
some junctions
–Androids require Bluetooth pairing; iPhones require
Bluetooth pairing and cabling for full functionality
• Connect phone via MyLink
•Icon appears on Home Page
• Junction view provides a realistic view of the highway
as you approach a junction. This view displays the
highway lanes, shields, directions and lane information
in a split-mode view. Junction view may be turned on or
off in the Display Settings
TuneIn lets you listen to radio, music, news, sports, talk
from anywhere. You can sort your listening choice by:
•Genre
•Location
• Turn-by-Turn (TBT) offers a more simplified guidance
mode. To access this screen, tap “Menu,” then “My
Route” and “Turn-by-Turn”
•Sports team name
•Station type
• Call sign
BringGo Brings High Value
at Low Cost
TuneIn has an easy-to-use search function and allows
you to save favorites.
A trial version of BringGo is available for $0.99. Using it
is a good way to check phone compatibility. Purchasing
BringGo without map updates costs $49.99. A purchase
with map updates in years two and three costs $59.99.
