I’ve had similar issues setting up Chevy MyLink with my Android. First, make sure your phone is paired properly, and then go into the settings of MyLink to enable text messaging. Sometimes a simple restart can fix the syncing issue!
Make sure your Android version is compatible with Chevy MyLink. Not all versions communicate well with the system. If you’re unsure, updating can solve a lot of problems.
Don’t forget to allow access to your contacts! If MyLink can’t read your contacts, it won’t show messages. Go into your app settings and enable permissions.
