  1. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    When I purchased my 2016 volt in November 2015, it did not come with an android auto pre-installed. I was told that I would need to bring it back to have it installed a few months later. Since the dealer where I purchased it, was too far from my house, I took my car to the nearest dealer (Selman...
  2. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    Every time I start my 2019 Volt, I'm getting an error on the SD Card reader down in the center console. I eject the SD Card and re-insert it and the error goes away. This started happening about 2 months ago and is starting to be annoying. How can I fix this issue?
  3. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I just discovered that maps updates only go up to 2016 data for 2011 & 2012 Volts (https://gmnavdisc.navigation.com/product/Catalog/Catalog_Chevrolet_Volt_2011/GM-North-America-Map-Update-DENSO-Global-A-v.2016/sku/23286275/en_US/GMNA/USD). Only up to 2017 data for 2013 Volts...
  4. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Just got back from a long road trip (the Volt did great, as usual). While my spousal unit was driving, I tried to post a question on this website using my cell phone, but, after lengthy typing, my post disappeared into the ether. So here it is again. At the start of the trip I upped for...

  6. Chevy Volt News, Reviews & Events
    Hi All, just got off the phone with GMNavDisc people, I was going to bite the bullet and buy the GM - NORTH AMERICA MAP UPDATE - DENSO GLOBAL A - V.2016, but they said it went live in October of 2015. I decided not to pay $179 for maps that are already almost 2 years old (probably more since...
  7. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    I had an interesting glitch on my 2017 Volt today. I left my smart phone at home so instead of using Waze I started to use the in-car navigation. I should have immediately known that there was a problem when it told me that my normal 1 hour commute was going to take only 22 minutes. I then...
  8. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I'm strongly considering purchasing a used Volt, probably a '14 or '15. I've seen comments that the Navigation isn't worth the price, but used cars with nav are much cheaper than if I were to add it to a new car. For those of you with Nav, how is it? I currently use a Garmin as I like it...

    Well, maybe not fifty, but so far I've counted three ways to use voice to interact with my 2015 Volt. I haven't tried voice commands for all systems; I'm mostly interested in navigation and phone commands. Can you help me sort out which type of voice commands I should concentrate on. This is...

    My Sirius XM trial ends January 27, and I'm probably not going to renew. Will I lose traffic re-routing on the in-dash navigation when I no longer have the SXM? Is there any compelling reason to pay for SXM if I don't care about the radio stations?
  11. Chevy Volt Buying/Selling Tax Credit & Fees
    Hello all, I've been lurking anonymously for years on here and am finally in a position to getting a Volt. I'm seeking some rough Guidelines on a 2014 Used Volt from the community. I'm likely going to be getting a Volt through Carvana and I've read they sometimes don't have everything listed...

    I just got my 2015 Volt, and after driving a Honda Insight, and two Priuses for the last twelve years, it's a change. I've always had nav before, and i didn't buy it for the Volt, partly because Volt owners don't seem impressed with it, and partly because, in recent years, i have relied more on...
  13. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    My son accidentally pressed the red SOS OnStar Button today. After that, it seems that our radio will not work. The screen is on and actually stays on after the car is off. You can't hear anything through the radio and when you try to press buttons on the menu,everything seems greyed out. I...
  14. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    Hi Folks, It's an expensive option and wonder how much better than "Maps" in CarPlay is the Navigation? I know Maps is pretty sad and a bad Apple. Some of what I am hoping to learn is if it can synch with an iPhone's contacts; how well it responds to voice requests, user friendliness, updates...
  15. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 1 Volt
    Dear all, The HDD in my navigation unit is apparently playing up: - navigation only starts after a while (ca. 10 min), showing a local map correctly - navigation is very prone to blocking the software, when trying to introduce a new location - I cannot record any mp3 to the HDD. Did anyone...
  16. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    I've had my 2016 Volt for 2 weeks now, and this is the first GM Navigation system I've owned. When I use the Nav, about 80% of the time the Nav operates with the "No GPS" advisory symbol lit. This is in sunny weather, with no mountains/trees/overpasses within half a mile of my car. The...
  17. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    There have been numerous threads about problems with the Volt's center stack controls and display freezing up, locking on the "initializing" screen, and rebooting whilst driving the car. My anecdotal observation has been that this seems more common in 2013 Volts equipped with navigation. This...
  18. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    I had a 2012 for 3 years and had zero problems with the infotainment system. My 2014 I've had for 3 months and have already had the center console lock up about a dozen times. It's always been due to using Navigation, and I suspect Bluetooth is involved too. Is anyone else having these...

  20. Software & Programming/Code - Chevy Volt
    The GPS sensor is built into the ONStar system. Is it possible to either download software to display GPS navigation if you didn't pay the rediculous $1000 radio upgrade to get it initially or if you have an external GPS unit to have it display on the vehicles auxiliary screen when plugged into...
