Keep reading to learn how to download and set up myCadillac and explore the features it offers to make driving around Venice, Florida, even better.
Downloading and Setting Up the myCadillac App
Now that you're the proud owner of a Cadillac, it's time to download the myCadillac app and connect to it via your smartphone. It only takes a few minutes to download, and you can use the app on any Android smartphone or Apple iPhone.
Visit Your Apple App Store or Google Play Store
The first step is to find the app and download it. If you're an Apple iPhone user, you'll find it in the App Store. If your smartphone runs on Android, you can search for it in the Google Play Store. Simply type "myCadillac" in the search box. You'll also see a brief description, in-app pictures, and user reviews. Hit the download button when you're ready, and it'll start loading and installing onto your smartphone. A message will let you know when it's ready for you to use it.
Create a New Account or Log In With Your Existing One
The next step involves linking your Cadillac to the app. You'll need an individual account with OnStar or the Cadillac Owner Center. OnStar provides subscription-based communication services to various GM automotive brands. The first vehicle to use it was a 1997 Cadillac DeVille. If you don't want an OnStar account, you can create one on Cadillac.com.
Log Into Your MyCadillac App
Once you've installed the myCadillac app on your phone and set up your account, you can log in and use it. If you've registered your vehicle with the Cadillac Owner Center, the app should recognize your vehicle automatically. If not, you'll need to input your user information into the app manually. You'll only need to do that when you first log in; it'll remember your information the next time you open it.
