Now, if you can’t afford an over 10-grand watch, and don’t own an Aston Martin supercar, you can still look cool, by getting a car from the General, and own an iPhone or Android-based phone. Then you can be the cool kid in the block by locking or unlocking your car using your latest smartphone.

General Motors has just released two new apps for the iPhone and Android platform smartphones: myChevrolet and OnStar MyLink. The OnStar MyLink works with the onboard OnStar system in your car that has OnStar equipped, and offers location-based services, such as a GPS parking reminder and vehicle reference material. The MyLink app also features a searchable database of warning lights, dashboard indicator lights and a variety of commonly searched features from the owner’s manual.

The myChevrolet app takes things a step further. Working in conjunction with the OnStar app, the myChevrolet application allows you to lock or unlock the doors, start the engine and access a wealth of diagnostic information. The app allows you to see fuel level, remaining oil life and current tire pressure.

These features aren’t just for Chevy owners either; the app is available for Buick, GMC and Cadillac models, as well, in the form of myBuick, myGMC and myCadillac. All of the apps are available as a free download from the phone’s respective app marketplace. Now would be a good time to get a yellow Camaro. You might even be able to tell it to transform using your smartphone.
