Oct 03, 2017 That's the navigation system update only, not a general MyLink software update. What stinks is GM charges for nav updates even during the warranty period, many other car makers give you free updates for life (ex: Mazda). For the best in driving experience, choose a add-on navigation system from Rostra, the leader in vehicle comfort, safety, and convenience. Please note, SoftTouch OE Navigation Systems are only sold through authorized distributors. Please contact Rostra to locate a distributor in your area for your Chevrolet or GMC navigation needs. The MyLink audio system in our 2016 Chevrolet Volt was always able to support Apple CarPlay, but now it's been reflashed to support Android Auto, too.

Travel Link Messages
No GPS Signal :Move the vehicle
into a position that is visible to
the sky.
Acquiring Signal : Radio is
downloading the activation
information or not receiving a good
signal. Move the vehicle to open sky
and restart the vehicle.
No XM Signal : Reception is
blocked. Move the vehicle into
open sky.
Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the
radio has a built-in electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
SiriusXM®Satellite Radio
Service
SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
gives digital radio reception from
coast to coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just
as with FM, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and
out. In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss
of the SiriusXM signal for a period
of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage can cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna is for OnStar®and
GPS (Global Positioning System).
Keep clear of obstructions for clear
reception. Tall buildings or hills can
interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and
out. In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges,
garages, or tunnels may cause loss
of signal for a period of time. If the
vehicle has a sunroof, and it is
open, reception can also be
affected.
