I noticed in the recent ArsTechinca Volt video and in this Verge article http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/31/9647204/gm-phil-abram-infotainment-carplay-android-auto-interview
a Weather app icon in the infotainment system. I don't see that icon in my new 2016 Volt.

Does anyone know what the story is with this mystery Weather app?

Maybe its an update to Mylink that you don't posess. Does your 2016 get OTA updates? Or maybe it is part of the update where they include Android Auto? And it's just not dropped yet...

I have the weather option on my 2016, I think maybe it goes along with the navigation package?

Here is the main menu screen, weather icon on bottom right:


Here is the hourly weather screen:

You're not missing much. I had my trial Sirius XM and tried the weather app. The apps on my smartphone and tablet are much fuller featured, and they are free.

Well, that explains it... Damn, I couldn't find a manual for the 2016 Volt, didn't even think to check a "various models" one. Good catch!!

Weather app is SiriusXM subscription needed.
