The Intellilink system, which is also branded as MyLink in some GM models, is an combined infotainment/telematics system that was first introduced in 2012. Intellilink and MyLink were used throughout the slate of GM vehicles that offered an infotainment option starting in 2012, aside from Cadillac, which has its own system called CUE.

Mar 31, 2015 Either your dealer is an idiot, or they didn't understand the question. The IntelliLink can't be updated to add certain features and such, but there are absolutely software patches that are released for it and THAT constitutes an update.
The layout of GM's Intellilink is similar to other OEM navigation/infotainment systems. The touchscreen features large buttons that provide access to the various features that the system offers. In addition to navigation, Intellilink also offers voice control over dialing your phone and changing radio stations.

Intellilink Faceplate Buttons
Intellilink uses a touchscreen interface, but most of the functions can be controlled by physical buttons and knobs. The faceplate buttons provide access to either the driver or passenger, and the driver also has additional controls on the steering wheel.
While most functions can be controlled by the faceplate buttons, the voice control activator is located on the steering wheel. After the voice control activator has been pressed, most of the Intellilink functions can also be accessed through vocal commands. These commands must be spoken clearly, or the system will not register them.

Navigation Menu
Navigation is one of the primary functions of the Intellilink system. The main menu allows you to change map settings, screen settings, and tweak various other options. The navigation system is somewhat rudimentary, but the menus are quick and responsive.

Intellilink Map View
The map view has a few different setting options, and the heading indicator also has a few different options. This is the basic top-down view, which provides a good picture of the surrounding area. The dollar sign on the left side of the screen is a point of interest, and the Intellilink system is capable of displaying the locations of many different types of businesses and services.

Intellilink Traffic Options
Intellilink offers two different traffic settings. In order to use either traffic option, it's necessary to have a Sirius XM subscription. This is one of several Intellilink functions that only work with a subscription to XM.
The system can be set to display all traffic routes, or it can filter out only the traffic events that are actually on the programmed route.

Intellilink Weather Display
The Intellilink system is also capable of displaying weather data, but this is another service that requires a Sirius XM subscription.

Intellilink Phone Controls

Intellilink Radio
The Intellilink system includes built-in tuners for AM, FM and XM radio. It also features voice controls for all of those options. Of course, a subscription to Sirius XM is required if you want to listen to the latter.
Intellilink can also play digital music files, and it has the ability to read files from an SD card or a USB memory stick. These connections are located on the center console, and the SD card slot can also be used to load software and map updates.

Intellilink Photo Viewer
The Intellilink touchscreen can also be used to view photographs. This functionality is only available when the vehicle is parked, so it can't distract the driver. This is a great way to view your pictures on the road since you can just pop the SD card from your camera into the Intellilink card reader that's located in the center console.
This week at the 2013 New York International Auto Show we’ve had the opportunity to have a hands-on experience with the next-generation Buick Intellilink infotainment system. This system has been revealed as coming with the 2014 LaCrosse as well as the 2014 Regal, both vehicles working with nearly identical implementations of infotainment and media playback throughout. It all begins on an 8-inch touchscreen display that sits front and center of the vehicle, able to be accessed by the driver or the copilot with ease.
Buick’s next-generation IntelliLink infotainment system works with wireless connectivity for your mobile devices, customizable options galore, and an easy-to-use user interface from start to finish. And it’s all builds on a hearty connection of both safety and security with OnStar. If you’re an OnStar user, you’ll be able to access city-by-city weather reports and ultra-simple embedded navigation using their “traditional Blue button” – rather handy.
You’ll be working with connectivity to a selection of apps for music, starting with Pandora. With Pandora you’ll have a collection of custom-built radio stations with new music coming in by the day – you’ll also be working with a set of 60 “favorites”, starting with radio stations outside of Pandora. These stations can be AM, FM, or XM, and you’ll have plenty of space left over to store “favorites” in contacts, destinations, and music from media aside from radio.
You’ll be able to connect with your media and your apps for control of the many various things IntelliLink works with using your touchscreen or by controlling your system with your voice. IntelliLink employs natural language voice recognition allowing you to control most anything you’d be able to control with your finger. You can enter destinations, browse media, safely place calls, play music, and control a variety of other functions as well.
If you’re a fan of using your touchscreen interface, you’ll find the controls to be rather familiar. You can do what Buick calls a “fling” through your lists, swipe up and down, and drag all around – basic control cues you’ll have learned well by now due to your everyday use of your smartphone or tablet devices. You can also control your music, set destinations, and more with IntelliLink’s connection to your smartphone – this done with a USB cord or Bluetooth wirelessly.
Of course the audio experience you’re going to have with the output this IntelliLink system is controlling depends entirely on the vehicle you’re driving. With the 2014 Buick Regal you’ll be working with a new nine-speaker Bose sound system including “strategically placed” tweeters and a fabulous subwoofer – you’ve got an acoustically optimized interior as well. With the 2014 Buick LaCrosse you’ve got seven standard speakers including the, again, “strategically placed” tweeters as well as a subwoofer all coming together to complement a quiet, acoustically optimized interior – with optional 11-speaker Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound being available as well!
