Anybody else have problems with Chevy MyLink?

I'm of the opinion it is absolute shite.
I've had nothing but problems with the bluetooth and direct USB connections when trying to play media from either my phone or an Ipod.
The only way for me to be able to pull up individual albums and playlists on the interface is to have it read through the direct USB connection, yet 90% of the time it fails to recognize any device is connected via USB. It will work through the USB and then when I shut the car off and get back in later, without changing or disconnecting anything, it suddenly says "No media available" and no amount of unplugging, replugging, restarting Ipod, etc makes a difference.
Of course the sound also comes through much better for some reason when connected through the USB rather than bluetooth so that would be the preferred means of connection minus the fact that it never fricking works.
I'm somewhat amazed that they've taken something as simple as a cord connection direct from a media device to a stereo and made it a complete clusterfrick.

You might not want to drive off the road and get caught in a tree then.

Other than the functioning AC and windows, this fricking thing is making me miss my '02 Pontiac.

Only problem is when I'm in garage and wife is home and she was in car before me, it will auto go back to her phone, so I have to press the phone icon and manually switch to my phone.
Other than that, no problems at all. You may need to bring yours in.

The only issue I have with mine is with Waze through the USB port. My music works fine both through Bluetooth or the USB.

Easy there Trigger..... Newer Chevy's trucks/suv's have a design flaw in their A/C systems. Hope you dont own one.

No issues with MyLink but the wireless charging pad barely works. It goes in and out. Anyone have any ideas to make it work better?

You using the usb that came with the phone direct from Apple? I was using an aftermarket plug and it worked like shite so I switched to the cord that came with phone and it works flawlessly.

My entune system is the only thing I don't like about my Toyota. It's garbage.

Mine works like a champ. Much better than blue tooth and the ability to send and respond to texts orally is one of the greatest tech features in a car IMO.

$1600 dollars later and I’m finally not sweating in my 15 Tahoe. Mississippi heat will make you spend that.

chevy has been nothing but pure garbage ever since obama took it over and put the unions in charge of running it.
all they care about is taking your money now and dont give 2 fricks about quality or reliability.

I'm avoiding this problem by not buying GM products.

Yep, apple USB plug that came with the Ipod. I also get intermittent static sounds through the USB connection on the rare occasion it is working. I would tolerate it for the otherwise increased sound quality and interface options but of course it I don't really have to make that decision when it just doesn't work at all.
