MyLink

MyLink a.k.a. Intellilink is a telematics system/infotainment system offered by General Motors in their vehicles. The system was debuted in 2011 in the then-new Chevrolet Volt.
The system was marketed as Intellilink for Buick, GMC, Vauxhall and Opel. It was marketed as "MyLink" by Chevrolet and Holden. Cadillac used the CUE infotainment system. The systems were manufactured by three companies for GM: Panasonic for most Intellilink/MyLink units, LG Electronics for the unit equipped on the Chevrolet Sonic, Chevrolet Spark, Chevrolet Trax and Vauxhall/Opel Adam, and Bosch for Cadillac's CUE system.
Intellilink runs on the QNX real-time operating system with voice recognition software from Nuance. It allows users to control online services through apps, like Pandora Internet Radio or Stitcher Radio through voice commands or the touch-screen interface. The car is able to access online content via a smartphone with a 3G data connection connected through Bluetooth. Users are also able to control their phone wirelessly via the same interface. MyLink also integrates OnStar's services (Advanced Automatic Collision Notification, roadside assistance, vehicle diagnostics information, live advisors, and turn-by-turn navigation).
Capabilities.
MyLink supports images in .jpg, .bmp, .png, and .gif formats; video files in .avi, .mpg, .mp4, .divx, .xvid, or .wmv formats; song files in MP3, WMA, and AAC formats and playlists in M3U standard and extended, iTunes, PLS, WAX, ASX and RMP formats.
Services.
Note that the supported features and services vary from model to model. For example, MyLink in the Chevrolet Sonic and Spark models does not support Gracenote (since those models have no CD player) or climate control. The screen size, trim and appearance vary from model to model as well.
Additional features have been announced by Chevrolet for delivery in calendar year 2013.
Availability.
Originally the MyLink systems were set to be available on select 2012 model year vehicles before the end of 2011, however that was pushed back until "Spring 2012".
