How to utilize and lock the hidden compartment on select Chevrolet models MyLink infotainment center.

[@dsgg4life942]

Thought it was for my gun 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@IMMORTAL99933]

It is lol

[@silverbackog9698]

Um...that's what I use it for 😂

[@hunterl5078]

You should contact your bosses and recommended a system update that allows you to press the home button and the home screen be displayed, and the only screen icon that works is the settings icon that takes you to the valet mode screen to unlock. Or a feature to lock the compartment without shutting the screen down. If someone see’s the screen in valet mode they instantly know something valuable it behind it.

It would be nice to lock "something " and still be able to use the radio

[@num1playa]

Can’t play music either. And it’s kinda obvious that is locked. Sux I thought I had a real stash spot

[@upsmann9695]

You only lock the screen if you're leaving the vehicle though, so you're valuables are safe

[@leafbelly]

My luck ... the phone would get stuck in there and I'd have to break the screen to get it. lol

[@cristianayala1948]

That’s what I was thinking the other day

[@milesrobinson1793]

A GUN

[@ItsCleto]

As a mechanic.. this wouldn't be fun if/when it breaks.

[@darnellwiggins5719]

Thanks. I'm glad to know it locks. Make it ever better.

[@melodiemorgan5578]

How to fix the hidden screen? What's the fuse called? My screen is going up and down slowly.

[@PNWSCOTTY3]

Can you lock it, then use radio and nav like normal? Or its locked and no screen function at all?

[@michaelchavez9138]

What years did Chevy start putting these radios?

[@sunshinechevrolet6512]

It started with the 2014 model Impala and then the 2015 Tahoe/Suburban (and GMC Yukons) got them in 2015.

Sunshine Chevrolet do cadillacs have them?

Al Young you can probably press the screen off button so it’s dark

[@marcgarza9072]

Need this in my camero

[@ahmedalbariqi9422]

I forgot the password! Any solution?

[@ahmedalbariqi9422]

With thanks

[@sunshinechevrolet6512]

Check with OnStar via the blue button on the mirror. They may have to send you to the dealer service department anyway, but it's worth a shot.

[@ahmedalbariqi9422]

@@sunshinechevrolet6512 Many Thanks

[@tmc4609]

Did you get it unlocked? 👀

[@PNWSCOTTY3]

Will a G29 fit?

[@joshmaier4394]

Aww

[@MAGUMNURSIS]

very helpful

[@joshuarosen359]

Did they ever include these in the GMC Sierra? I know some Yukons had them. My dad's got an (I think) 2015-2016 Sierra and it'd be wild if I can blow his mind with this next time I see him

[@blacksun496]

Can cops override this feature? Asking for a friend 🤪😂

[@sunshinechevrolet6512]

We'll leave that to greater legal minds than ours. lol

[@raygielperry3865]

If the dogs hit it they can break it lol they know bout considering the fact they use the same vehicles we do

[@davidheathera9288]

Thank you for this info!!!

[@sunshinechevrolet6512]

You're quite welcome. Thanks for watching! - Sunshine Chev

[@kabbottt]

Does the Chevy ss or Camaro have this?

[@sunshinechevrolet6512]

No, neither one does. Sorry.

[@rahulsunar8883]

Whats the model of the car???

[@sunshinechevrolet6512]

Impala, Suburban, Tahoe and Corvette

[@GA-M]

Does this come on the 2017 Silverado Ltz?

[@sunshinechevrolet6512]

No, only on Tahoe, Suburban, Impala and Corvette for that year.

[@lesliehorne1350]

2017 Silverado don't have nothing for the price , I have 2017 Silverado it has the backup camera but no beep sound

[@JavierHernandez-fq4hu]

Does the new suburban still have this?

[@Rickm2003]

Hmm. I like that. Thanks for the info. I thought it was a service something for the dealer ship.

[@montannarose6010]

Can I put something like this in my hummer?

[@TalismanRocks]

Just got a 2020 Traverse, Premier trim level, and mine does NOT have the USB port in the hidden compartment???

[@sunshinechevrolet6512]

You know, I just had to go and look for myself. And, of course, you're right! Why, I do not know. But if I can find a good answer for you, I'll post back here. - Sunny

[@TalismanRocks]

@@sunshinechevrolet6512 - Thanks for confirming. I like storing my phone up there, so wish they would have left a USB input in that cubby.

[@marianaakamari771]

Cool feature but suxs how u cant keep playing radio after u lock it

[@MichelLinschoten]

Mari no need to lock it when you’re in the car. Makes absolutely no sense

[@cyranodeluk]

@@MichelLinschoten It does make sense in certain situations. For instance, you might keep a gun in that compartment and want to be keep it locked unless/until you need access to it

[@mjareacts2731]

@@cyranodeluk I do keep a gun in there, but it only needs to be locked when the car is being valeted or I'm not in the car.

[@cyranodeluk]

@@mjareacts2731 I have kids

[@mjareacts2731]

@@cyranodeluk I get that, but if you're not advertising the fact that the screen lifts up to the kids you should be fine. I also have kids, but it comes down to training.

[@kyekye7578]

Is this for a 2012 Malibu

[@sunshinechevrolet6512]

Unfortunately, no.
