Chevy Spark: Reset Stereo System

Get your entertainment on the road back by following this guide to rest your slow, stuck, or frozen stereo system.

2017 – 2022 Models

Modern Chevrolet cars use a touchscreen MyLink system.

1. Turn on your car.
2. On the touchscreen display, select the System tab and scroll to the bottom.
3. Select Return to Factory Settings.
4. From here, you will have two options: Reset Vehicle Settings and Erase Settings and Personal Data. For a full reset, use both options—choose one now and repeat the process to choose the other.
5. For each selection, you will see a warning prompt. Select Erase to proceed with the resets.

2016 Models and Earlier

There is a much simpler method to soft reset your radio on older Chevy Spark models; it is as follows:

1. Turn on your car and locate your OnStar buttons—they will either be on the ceiling towards the front of your car’s interior or just under the rearview mirror.
2. Press the button on the left—the icon looks like a seated person with a signal coming from their head. You will hear a voice from the sound system say, “OnStar ready.”
3. Press the button again—the voice will say, “Thank you. Goodbye.” Your sound system is now reset.
