What Owners Say

Apple CarPlay

""The problem began a week after purchase and persists without resolution. Nearly every time I start my car, Apple Car Play does not properly pair. I am required to stop and start my car several times to get Car Play and my vehicle to pair. Despite a recent iOs update, this problem continues without resolution today.""

Anonymous, PA (2024 Chevrolet Trax Activ 1.2-L 3 Cyl turbo)

"When driving and stop for food gas etc (turn the car off) the car will not pair. Must then turn off bluetooth - re-boot the system completely. It does this Every Time! Dealer has no clue"

Anonymous, MI (2024 Chevrolet Trax LS 1.2-L 3 Cyl turbo)
Backup or other camera/sensors

""Backup camera display very often only shows an eyeball like area. Focus is on the license plate below. Very difficult to use and dangerous as you cannot see cars coming or judge distance to back up. Lines you are parked in Do Not show up so you cannot judge accuracy. This is going on since I have had the car 11/2024 intermittently. CHEVROLET is aware of the issue, but no solution as of today. A software update was performed today 5/8/25 but did not cover the issue. Engineers I was told are being consulted.""
