GM OnStar RemoteLink App Rolls Up With A New Look

Users of the OnStar RemoteLink mobile app will soon find an update with a new look and capabilities waiting for them in the app store. The update, now available for Android and iOS users, is the result of years of customer feedback and includes a modern user experience to streamline access to information and application commands.

OnStar RemoteLink’s new interface comes as more customers than ever are opening the app seeking their current tire pressures or requesting a remote start as winter enters full swing. The updated app will also provide customers with more information, including access to OnStar account details previously only available by phone or through OnStar.ca.

For Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles equipped with OnStar 4G LTE, RemoteLink includes the ability to view data consumption and see how much data is left on a particular plan. Customers also can manage their Wi-Fi hotspot (if equipped) from the app, by either turning it on/off or changing their Wi-Fi SSID (hotspot name) and password. Wi-Fi requires a paid data plan.

The remote features of the app – ability to remotely start/stop an engine with factory-installed remote start, lock and unlock automatic door locks and activate the horn and lights – are included with no service plan cost for five years from delivery on most 2014 MY and newer GM vehicles. The ability to manage the vehicle’s Wi-Fi hotspot is also included for five years on properly equipped 2015 MY and newer Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. All other RemoteLink features require a paid OnStar service plan.

OnStar RemoteLink is currently available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry devices. The update will be available for Windows Phone and Blackberry users in the upcoming weeks. For a full list of supported vehicles and devices visit https://www.onstar.com/ca/en/services/remotelink.html.
