Chevrolet Announces In-Car Beats Music App

BAY CITY, Mich.– It's no secret that advanced vehicle technologies are creating customized in-car experiences for drivers all over and the recent addition of OnStar 4G LTE to select Chevy vehicles is taking that experience to the next level. Through that technology, Chevrolet announced an in-car Beats Music App will be available later this year for those who like to customize their music entertainment while on the road.

The in-car Beats Music App available through the Chevrolet AppShop will give Chevy drivers and passengers the opportunity to enjoy music from every genre imaginable. Those with a trial or paid Beats Music account will be able to listen to personalized playlists or playlists created by music industry professionals through the Chevy infotainment system. Compared to the standard Beats Music application, the in-car version prevents features that can be considered distracting, like using the keyboard, from being accessed while the vehicle is in motion.

Whether you're a current Beats Music fan or are interested in exploring the application further on your smartphone, the in-car version features all of the same signature features, like the "Just For You" recommendations and "Highlights" staff recommendations. Plus, while using the in-car version, you can still access all of the playlists you've created or saved on your mobile device, along with playlists tailored specifically for certain drive times, from road trips to traffic jams.

If you love some good tunes to accompany you while you find new roads, you won't have to wait long. The AppShop with Beats Music will be available on select 2015 Chevy models later this year and we can help you find the perfect one for your needs! Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706.

Chevrolet Expands Siri Eyes Free Integration to 2014 Models

BAY CITY, Mich.- With the automaker's latest announcement, Chevrolet is making staying connected even easier and safer for drivers and passengers. Announced earlier this week, Chevrolet is expanding Siri Eyes Free Integration to 2014 models, including the 2014 Camaro, Cruze, Equinox, Malibu, SS, and Volt!

Siri Eyes Free Integration was first implemented in the Chevy Sonic and Spark, and after a positive response from consumers, the automaker has announced it will expand the technology to more 2014 models! Many drivers are now familiar with in-car infotainment systems, and the new Siri Integration compliments Chevrolet's MyLink capabilities perfectly.

Similar to how iPhone users interact with Siri outside of the car, Chevy's Siri Integration allows compatible iPhone users to use their voice to direct Siri to perform various tasks through the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system. And to minimize distraction even further, the Siri Eyes Free mode prevents the phone's screen from lighting up. So, users can use their voice to interact with their phone without being distracted by their phone lighting up.

To use Siri Eyes Free in your 2014 Chevy vehicle, all you have to do is pair your iPhone via Bluetooth with the MyLink system and then use the voice activation controls on the steering wheel to interact with Siri. With the new technology, drivers can make voice-activated, hands-free calls; play songs and control music sources from iTunes/AM/FM/XM; listen to, compose, and send text messages; and access calendars to add appointments.

Chevrolet is expanding Siri Eyes Free Integration to 2014 models including the Camaro, Cruze, Equinox, Malibu, SS, and Volt. To experience for yourself how the new technology works, stop by Hank Graff Chevy! We are located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706.

Kelsey's Law Protects Teen Drivers

BAY CITY, Mich.- Later this week we will hopefully see less teen drivers talking on their cell phones while driving as the result of a new law that will take effect on Thursday. The new law, Kelsey's Law, aims to protect teen drivers by allowing police to ticket Michigan's Level 1* and 2* drivers a $100 civil infraction fine for talking on their cell phone while driving. While Kelsey's Law allows police to cite new drivers solely for talking on their phone, it is most likely that citations will happen in conjunction with other violations.

However, there are exceptions to the new ban. Kelsey's Law does not apply to hands-free telephone services like Chevy MyLink. In addition, exceptions will be made for new drivers reporting traffic accidents, medical emergencies, road hazards, or criminal activity.

Kelsey's Law was created in honor of Kelsey Raffaele, from Sault Ste. Marie, who died in a cell phone related, distracted driving accident in 2010 at just 17 years old. And while you may be questioning how effectively Kelsey's Law will Protect Teen Drivers, police officials show proof with past driver-safety laws. For example, the seat-belt requirement and texting ban have resulted in more drivers wearing their seat-belts and less drivers texting while driving. Overall, the new ban will compliment current efforts to educate young drivers about the dangers of distracted driving and will enforce the message that distracted driving can have fatal consequences.

Help us keep our young drivers safe out on the road by demonstrating and educating them about safe driving practices. To take a look at some vehicles equipped with the hands-free Chevy MyLink, like the 2013 Chevy Traverse or 2013 Chevy Cruze, stop by your Mid-Michigan Chevy Dealer. Graff Bay City is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706. For more information on Graff Bay City, or for any questions call us at (989) 684-4411 or visit our websites: www.GraffBayCity.com.
