How to Set up Chevy Bluetooth 

Wondering how to pair Bluetooth to Chevy Silverado or other popular Chevy vehicles? Here are the steps to connecting your Chevy Bluetooth feature using your Chevy infotainment system’s touchscreen: 

1. Turn on the vehicle and keep it in Park.
2. Touch the Phone icon on your vehicle’s touchscreen. 
3. Look for an option on the screen to add or connect a new phone. It may say “Add Phone,” “Pair Device,” “Connect Phone” or “+.”
4. Go to your phone’s Bluetooth settings, turn Bluetooth on and select your vehicle from the list of options. 
5. Confirm the code shown on the phone matches the code on the infotainment touchscreen. 
6. Touch Pair on the infotainment touchscreen. You may also have to accept the pairing on your device, as well.
7. If prompted, agree (or disagree) to allow the infotainment system to access your phone’s contacts and messages.
   1. Note: If you disagree, your contacts and messages will not be downloaded. In this case, you will be able to make calls after pairing by saying a phone number but will not be able to use a contact’s name to make a call.
8. When the pairing is complete, the infotainment screen will show your phone as available for making and receiving calls.

Using Chevy MyLink Voice Commands

Chevy technology is constantly innovating. Now you can use voice recognition via Chevy MyLink voice commands, similar to how you might use “Siri” on your iPhone or “Alexa” on your Amazon devices. Here’s how to set it up: 

1. Place your vehicle in Park. Press the Push to Talk button, wait for the beep, and say “Pair Phone.”
2. On the phone, look for the vehicle’s hardware and select it.
3. Your phone will either ask to enter a 4-digit pin, which is displayed on the radio screen, or to confirm a 6-digit code.
4. Accept Bluetooth connection and/or phonebook download on your phone.
5. Now your phone is paired.
