CHEVY TRAX REVIEW ANDROID
The Chevrolet Trax works with Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto with the former having a few more connectivity advantages than the latter.
CHEVY TRAX REVIEW UPDATE
(please see our update above regarding CarPlay and Android Auto) Cars like the Cruze and this very Trax are going to reap the benefits of being smarter. Fourteen models of Chevrolet are planned to have this connectivity and not just the high end cars. While OnStar has been around on Chevrolet for some time now, Chevrolet is starting to realize that consumers are relying more and more on their smartphones and they’ve taken steps to integrate the use of that technology in their cars. Of course OnStar still offers all the rest of the services and features they’ve been known to provide like hands free calling and vehicle diagnostics. The Wi-Fi range is about 50 feet around the vehicle and it works in the US and Canada. Pricing and packages vary on this feature and expect about the same costs as any other mobile service. OnStar is also partnering with AT&T to bring 4G/LTE connectivity into its vehicles including this 2015 Chevrolet Trax.ĪT&T’s LTE connectivity turns your car into a rolling hotspot allowing multiple connected devices at once (7 total devices).
“Crash Response” will work even if the airbags are not deployed.
CHEVY TRAX REVIEW SOFTWARE
Included in the OnStar service is “Crash Response” which contacts rescue personnel if the software detects you’ve been in a serious collision. The same sorts of things come with OnStar should you choose to have the service installed, such as “Directions & Connections.” This is basically the OnStar GPS along with their service which you can use to contact an OnStar representative in case you need emergency assistance. OnStar is still very much a part of the Chevrolet Trax. SpecificationsĬhevrolet has been well known for OnStar over the years and that hasn’t changed for 2015.
My apologies if I created any confusion with my misstatements. HOW TO: Change system date in OS X from Terminal 99 and a one time fee for the service, not a monthly fee as I stated in the review. Second, Chevrolet clarifies the BringGo app is. I should have contacted Chevrolet to clarify if the Trax was getting these features before including them. My thoughts on CarPlay and Android Auto were made from my experience with another Chevrolet vehicle that has them integrated. First off, Android Auto and CarPlay will not be available on the Trax as I stated, I had originally thought the Trax would be getting the feature but it will not. UPDATE 12:15PM EST: Chevrolet has clarified a few points in this review with us as I got them wrong. So without wasting anymore time, this is our 2015 Chevrolet Trax review. I’m no authority on cars but I do love technology so most of this review will talk about the Trax technology and how that looks for you. It’s been a few months since I’ve had the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and I’ve been sitting on this review for a few reasons, mostly because I’ve had trouble forming my words around a product I’ve never done a written review on. So when Chevrolet said okay to a request to review one of their connected cars we were just a little bit surprised. We’ve been fortunate enough to work with some great companies who’ve been willing to loan us a variety of equipment to test and then review for you our readers.
