Are you ready for speed? Chevy is making its lineup of vehicles much faster on the roadways, but the increase in speed has nothing to do with horsepower under the hood.
Chevy adds 4G LTE to a lineup of vehicles and technology aficionados, care enthusiasts and consumers couldn’t be happier. Chevrolet announced during the 2014 International CES show in Las Vegas on Sunday it is bringing 4G LTE to its OnStar infotainment system. This will give users quicker access to the mobile hub’s apps and services than over 3G connections.
The new systems will also come with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, so passengers can get share the data connection with smartphones, laptops and tablets.
The company also announced at the show a performance data recorder for its 2015 Corvette Stingray, allowing drivers a way to record high-definition video of what it’s like to drive the vehicle. That footage can later be analyzed to improve driving and lap times and also be shared on social media.
The fully integrated system enables users to record high-definition video, with telemetry overlays, of their driving experiences on and off the track. Batey also introduced the new OnStar 4G LTE connection and the Chevrolet AppShop that allows owners to view all available apps and download them directly to the vehicle, then organize, update or delete them.

Chevrolet is adding a new level of infotainment personalization with Chevrolet AppShop, demonstrated during Chevrolet’s CES press conference on Sunday night. AppShop will be available this summer on select 2015 models in the U.S. and Canada with MyLink technology, including the Corvette, Equinox, Impala, Malibu, Volt, Silverado and Silverado HD.
Chevrolet AppShop is accessible through an icon displayed on the available MyLink screen that allows owners to view all available apps and download them directly to the vehicle, then organize, update or delete them. Available apps will connect drivers to music, news, weather, travel information, vehicle data and more. For more visit Fastlane.gm.com.
