How to use your myBuick mobile app
The myBuick app
Download the app
Getting started
1. Download the myBuick app from the Apple App Store®
- You can also text “Buick,” “Cadillac,” “Chevrolet” or “GMC” to 56000 to receive a link to download the mobile app.
- If you have multiple vehicles across different brands, you can download any mobile app (myBuick, myCadillac, myChevrolet or myGMC). All vehicles on your account will show up in the Account menu of the mobile app you’re using. Use the product selector to scroll between them and select a vehicle to view.
2. Create an account or sign in to app using your GM account email and password (the same email address you gave your dealer when you bought the vehicle).
Note: Signing in with an email account already registered with an OnStar® account allows your vehicle to sync with the app and provides access to subscription-based app features. Learn more about how to link your OnStar Account with your brand account here.
3. If you’re a new user or you’ve updated the app, you’ll be presented with a multi-factor authentication process to verify your identity.
Make sure you keep your app updated to the latest version to see what’s new. Be sure to be on the lookout for even more future updates to your mobile app.
