Alexa skill for My Chevrolet no longer available
I recently realized something when i read a follow up post on this thread. I've been a loyal Chevy Silverado owner for years., but on my previous vehicle purchase, I considered switching to a different brand, but when I discovered they didn’t offer a remote start feature as seamless as Chevy's Alexa skill. I stuck with what I knew and got another Silverado.
However, for my next vehicle, I might rethink my options.
Interestingly, I noticed that the Chevrolet website no longer mentions the Alexa Skill, except in cached search engine results. The GM site still lists it here: Amazon Alexa and My GMC App. Of course, now that I’ve pointed it out, they might remove it too!
We appreciate your feedback and sentiments about how you enjoyed this feature in your Chevrolet Silverado. As we mentioned in an earlier post, OnStar has discontinued the vehicle mobile apps Skill feature for Amazon Alexa-supported devices. Our goal is to provide our members access to OnStar, wherever they are. We found that our members prefer to use remote commands in their vehicle mobile apps. In response, we’ve decided to end the Alexa Skill for the MyChevrolet app. With this, the Alexa Built-in will not be sunsetting, and all in vehicle functionality will remain the same. Only commands from your home to your car will be sunsetting. That being said, Members can still use remote commands to perform the same functions that were available via Alexa, with an active eligible service plan. If you have any other questions at this time, we would be happy to help.
