leonard26 5 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 I still see the US version on the Google Play Store. It would not suprise me if it is a while for Chevy to offer the upgrade to the unit to be able to use the app. Decided not to install the app until Chevy upgrades, as you get 1 month free to test it before you buy it in case it is no good, Link to post Share on other sites
bluer101 241 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm going to buy the full version no matter what. It's pretty cheap and so far it's great on the phone. The only thing is I tried to sign up for the account but still have not received the activation email. So I'm using the guest account. Link to post Share on other sites
Phil_Can 2 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yeah I downloaded it last night, so I got the app. Installing all of the roads were a huge pain and my thing froze twice like a long time in and had to restart the whole download of the maps again. Eventually it started to work and downloaded all the locations I wanted. And I also dont see the app in the app store. Luckily I already grabbed it before it left the store!

Greg_E 211 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Usually things get pulled from the store when a major bug is found, so you might need to do the whole thing over again, and might even have a security risk with the old version. Link to post Share on other sites
magic 1 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Just got back from my dealer and updates are ready and they were able to update my 2lt today. I purchased bringgo and it does have turn by turn voice cammands. ---Yes I purchased the $59.99. I figured it will always be on my phone. If you dont have update yet go get it from your dealer.

bluer101 241 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 That's great to know. How long did it take and do they hook it to a computer or USB port? Link to post Share on other sites
cedricxie 0 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 same question as above. Link to post Share on other sites
magic 1 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Bill says Tech Bulletin #PI0914 to program radio with SPS and USB software and reset date/Clock and clear out error codes. performed software update to correct concern. Sorry I wasnt there watrching as they did it. Just dropped the car off and came back when called. The service guy said they had to hook something up to the car that if you didnt you would never know it needed updating. Thats most likely why the dealer I got it from never updated it before giving me the car. Again I ordered this from factory. JC Link to post Share on other sites

JC From what i just read on another forum is, that number is: PI0914 (it was supposedly sent out on 02/18/2013) its the update that fixes Bluetooth problems, adds siri voice commands, tune, bringgo, and xm radio problems as well as other stuff. Dealer said it should take about an hour to do. Link to post Share on other sites
bluer101 241 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) The Chevy website says you can log into your Mylink account and download the latest updates. But after talking with a online rep they said you cannot do that, only dealer update. This is what the website says in the FAQ's: UPDATING CHEVROLET MYLINK Are there updates to download with Chevrolet MyLink?- Log in to see if a new software version is available for your Chevrolet MyLink system. If so, you will need to download the newest MyLink update to enable you to run all of the latest features.

Lill blu sparky 9 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm going to have to go on Monday and get the update! Been looking forward to that! Link to post Share on other sites
bluer101 241 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I went to the dealer and they had no clue even by vin. So I gave them the service number and found it right away. I'm going back next week to have it done since it was too late today. The service write printed out the whole bulletin with instructions for me, it's 8 pages long. The first part involves updating the radio through the computer hookup. Then it requires a software transfer onto USB the plugged into the Sparks USB port. After that you might have to stop and pull the onstar fuse if you get an error if not proceed with onscreen prompts. After its finished in 15 minutes you cycle the ignition, clear any trouble codes, and factory reset the radio. This update also addresses some BT problems, the XM default to preview channel after restart (I have this problem) and no rear camera error when put in reverse. The thing is it states Spark and Sonic does not have rear camera and does not apply. I hope that's not true because I thought they were going to add a camera. Link to post Share on other sites

bluer101 241 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Up a few posts ago, PI0914. It is Pi not P1 Edited March 2, 2013 by bluer101 Link to post Share on other sites
Marklaz 1 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Just got back from Chevy dealer. I got the update done. The Bringgo app works perfectly as advertised. Siri works great too. Very pleased. Now off the the dealer to get my Sonic done. Link to post Share on other sites
Blue hedgehog 0 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I have a 13 sonic with mylink. I may be the 1st sonic owner on Long Island trying to get the update done. I'm not having any luck. My dealership told me there is no nav on the sonic and I should go buy a garmin or Tom Tom. They claim they did the PI0914 update to fix the xm1 issue but it has nothing to do with bringgo. Whatever update they did now the mylink says something about the rearview camera not working when in reverse. I called another dealership and they knew nothing about it either. Are there any spark owners on Long Island (or near LI) who have had their mylink successfully updated with bringgo? If so what dealership did it? Link to post Share on other sites
bluer101 241 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Blue hedgehog, I have been following you guys over at the Sonic forums as they have been out longer. I have not gone to get mine updated due to the inconsistency of updates. I spoke with my dealer and told them I have the service number but wanted to look up by vin. Of course nothing showed anything needed updating. Then he looked up the service number and printed me the pages. He said its only to fix problems not for apps. I said keep reading and then he said oh ok I see, but in order to do it I have to write it up as one of the troubles on the bulletin. I told them I would return another day. I met with my salesman and told him what was going on. He said they would first do some updates to new cars in stock before I'm the Test subject. I do experience the XM reset to channel one and would love the update for Bringgo but until GM gets there act together I'm not testing their product. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Is the Sonic another GM Korea vehicle? Not sure if you guys remember what I went through to get the optional fog light kit programmed, but it took Chevy USA calling Korea, and then several engineers to find the update and send it to the USA. It took much longer for other dealers to get the update because there was another person in a different area that couldn't get her car programmed. Basically a case of "the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing". Link to post Share on other sites
Blue hedgehog 0 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Bluer101 I went for round 2 today at the dealer. This time I had ammo. I sent chevy an email to customer service. They gave me a number for infotainment support. I called them and they called the dealership. I was told to bring the car in and they now no how and what to do. I brought the car in. After 3 hours they told me they were having problems doing the update because they were missing one of there disks. And I will get a call when they get a new disk. I did get a copy of the latest update instructions released march 6 2013. The update is now PI0914A. Also on the my chevrolet website click chevy culture then news on I think it's the 2nd or 3rd page chevy says the bringgo update came out on march 1st and all 2013 sonic owners and spark owners with mylink should go to their dealer for the "free" update Link to post Share on other sites

I have the printout at work for the original version. "It all starts when you bring your 2013 Sonic, 2013 Spark or 2014 Spark EV (equipped with Chevrolet MyLink†) to your local Chevrolet dealer for a free quick radio software update. You can then install BringGo on your iPhone®, Android or other compatible smartphone. And then finally you can enjoy taking charge of your next destination with less worry and even more confidence."
