Siri Eyes Free Integration Expands Among Chevy Vehicles

Siri Eyes Free Integration Expands Among Chevy Vehicles

HINGHAM, Mass.-With an announcement earlier this week, Chevrolet revealed that their new MyLink infotainment system integration will make staying connected even easier for drivers, while also staying safe behind the wheel. Siri Eyes Free Integration is expanding among Chevy vehicles to six new 2014 models, including the 2014 Camaro, Cruze, Equinox, Malibu, SS, and Volt!

The smaller Chevrolet Sonic and Spark were the first two cars to integrate the Siri Eyes Free technology. After receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from Sonic and Spark drivers, the automaker decided to expand Siri Eyes Free Integration among Chevy Vehicles! While most smartphone users have interacted with Siri, and many drivers are now familiar with vehicle infotainment systems, the new Siri Eyes Free mode blends the capabilities of both technologies to enhance the in-car experience.

Chevrolet's Siri Eyes Free Integration works in a similar manner to how iPhone users interact with Siri outside of the vehicle. Those with compatible iPhones can instruct Siri to complete various tasks through the MyLink infotainment system simply by using their voice. To ensure distractions are at a minimum and drivers don't have to glance at their phone each time it lights up, the Siri Eyes Free mode actually prevents the phone's screen from lighting up.

To enable Siri Eyes Free mode in your compatible 2014 Chevrolet vehicle, make sure your iPhone is paired with the MyLink system via Bluetooth, and then you can use the voice activation button on the steering wheel to have Siri 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.

Siri Eyes Free Integration is expanding among 2014 Chevy vehicles including the Camaro, Cruze, Equinox, Malibu, SS, and Volt. Explore the new technology for yourself by visiting Best Chevrolet. We can show you how Chevrolet keeps you connected out on the road.

2014 Chevrolet Impala Seats Designed For Comfort

2014 Chevrolet Impala Seats Designed For Comfort

HINGHAM, Mass.- The redesigned 2014 Chevrolet Impala is just as attractive on the inside as it is on the outside. One of the most notable updates to the sedan are the extremely comfortable seats, which Chevrolet engineers went to great lengths to design. The 2014 Chevrolet Impala Seats were designed for comfort through the use of advanced technology as well as human interaction.

There's no substitute for getting a human into the seat and getting their response. So, Chevrolet had volunteer seat testers, from 5th percentile females (5 feet tall, 100 pounds) to 95th percentile males (6 feet tall, 223 pounds), spend hundreds of hours and thousands of miles in Impala prototypes to evaluate seat comfort. The testers would ride in each prototype for 60-minute intervals, recording their feedback after the first 10 minutes and at the end, numerically rating every aspect: cushion, backrest, lumbar support, headrest, and side bolsters.

However, the feedback of the volunteer testers is subjective, so Chevrolet combined their responses with state-of-the-art pressure-mapping technology as well as the automaker's new mannequin-like tool named Oscar. The high-tech pressure-mapping technology, is composed of more than 4,600 data points from the impressions of people of all shapes and sizes over the seat surface. Graphics can then be illustrated to evaluate how occupants sit statically or while driving.

To make sure that the Impala's comfortable seats are complimented by sufficient interior space, the automaker developed the 170 pound mannequin-like tool named Oscar to determine the overall dimensional layout of the vehicle's interior. With such extensive research, the seats in the 2014 Chevy Impala will leave you feeling just as fresh at the end of your trip as you felt at the start!
