Ross Tech for Volts?

Good 'ol vagcom. Did a lot of tweaks to my old Audi A3: No more seatbelt chime when in park, enabled running lights, tweaked steering weight and added remote window up/down.
I'd *really* like to shut up the non-stop engine on chimes on my 2017 volt. Even the quietest volume level is super loud.
Anyways, rant aside: There's an android app called MyGreenVolt which connects to a cheap bluetooth ODBII adapter. Gives you a ton of info and is all-around stat nerd candy. No way to change settings though.

The only thing I know of, was from my old chevy days (8 year ago), before I got my VW, before we got our new volt.
TunerCat ( http://www.tunercat.com/ ) was used by those interested in messing around with their engines performance. No idea if it would understand the 2016+ volts, or if it has insight into anything other than engine/trans stuff.
Other than that, just never seen something like Ross Tech in the GM world. I've been out of the loop for almost a decade playing around in the VW programing space, but quick searches aren't showing much has changed. At least nothing has general consumer friendly as Ross Tech.

Yep, Vag-Com/VCDS was practically mandatory when owning a VW. I had to get it out every time I had to disconnect the battery just to put the radio codes back in. 
When I still had it, I used it to clear an EVAP code on the Prius, because the gas jockey left the gas cap loose and there was no way I was going back to the dealer just to clear it.
