To do this, just connect your phone to the MyLink system and then select the Android Auto or Apple CarPlay icon on the screen.

Finally, you can also use the OnStar RemoteLink app to get your text messages on your Chevy Equinox. This app is available for both Android and iPhone. Once you've downloaded and installed the app, you'll need to create an account. Once you've done that, you can then log in and access the app. To get your text messages, just go to the "Messages" section and select the "Text Messages" option.
