Tell Bringo No HOV. How??
High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV), Normally a left hand lane on the HWY you are traveling on, in or out of a city. must have at least 2 people Driver+1 to travel in an HOV lane.
High Occupancy Travel (HOT) lane. Normally an additional set of lanes separated from the main HWY. With limited on and off ramps. Traffic is open to HOT lanes in the morning traveling into the city and open in the afternoon leaving the city.
Issue is that Bringgo keeps trying to put me on the HOT lanes, regardless of time of day and the fact that I am normally driving as a SOV and not eligible to take the HOV or HOT lanes.
I would like to know how to tell Bringgo, not to route me onto HOV or HOT lanes. Any help?

Hi jmallino,
Thank you for explaining the issue you are having with the HOV lanes. We will discuss with engineering and advise accordingly. Thank you, BringGo Support

Well, jamallino, it seems your concern is routed to the people who count.
I wonder, would a Corvette count as an HOV since it weighs much less than full size vehicles; and if does count, would the two passenger requirement still stand being as it can not hold more than two people so one would mean it would be half full?

I have two suggestions and one issue:
Could you make the color of the clock when using bringgo on dash white? I find it very hard to read the time during the day when it's written in black.
Also since you seem to pull vehicle information from the car (since it warned me I was low on fuel) is there any way you could incorporate the temperature as well?
Both the clock and the temp are things that you can't read anywhere else in the car besides the mylink screen, and once bringgo is active you lose temp and have a hard time seeing clock.
My one technical issue that I have, is I often like to listen to audio from my iphone using a different app (such as songza, rdio, spotify) and they work great and play through the system, but as soon as I launch Bringo and it gives me my first audible direction (ex: turn left) when the direction is done being read, I automatically get kicked back to ipod instead of the audio I was listening to.
I discovered a workaround, which is that if I mute the directions so it doesn't talk, my audio never gets interrupted and I don't get kicked back to ipod music. However sometimes I'll miss a turn since I don't keep my eyes focused on the maps the whole time.
This is a very annoying issue, and I rarely listen to my ipod music since I pay for streaming services that work just fine until I need directions from Bringgo.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

I do not seem to be getting traffic alerts. Should I?
Or is it just manual traffic info on the screen.
KartRacer
Hi Kartracer, You can access traffic if you have made an in-app purchase. Traffic is not available in the 30-day trial. The traffic feature can be accessed by tapping the 'Traffic' button on the app. The full details are here:

Thank you,

It most likely IS compatible. Bringgo just won't let you have it because they think it isn't. They haven't updated their approved device list in a LONG time making me think they gave up on Android completely. I'm guessing they just don't have the ability to properly program for the device.
I'll be willing to bet they'll add the new iPhone within a few days of it being released. F$%k you Bringgo.
I can confirm, it is compatible. Using myself BringGo with EVO 3D, and have not find any issues. But your device must be rooted, and spoofed to something else, for example to Galaxy S3!
Well I received this regarding Samsung Galaxy 4s support:
"Dear Sir / Madam,
Thank you for contacting BringGo Customer Support.
I can understand your inconvenience about current incompatibility issue has caused.
We will review the list of supported phones periodically to ensure that the app supports the widest range of phones possible. It is not possible to support certain phones like Galaxy 4S due to limitations with the hardware itself or the interfaces used.
The list may change in the future as new devices have been tested and approved for compatibility. We do need to test each phone device for compatibility to ensure that the app works as intended.
The list of supported devices on the following link and shall be updated periodically: BringGo..
We thank you for your patience and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Best regards,
BringGo Customer Support | EnGIS Technologies, Inc.
Email: support@engistech.com | Web: www.bringgo.com"
Guess I should have taken a step back and kept my Galaxy 2s, as it appears they don't intend to support the newer android phones, thus BringGo can kiss my $$$.

I think Chevrolet Customer Service/Cares has abandoned this project.
I look at this as a Chevrolet created problem and will NOT be solved until Chevrolet steps up.
Will I avoid Chevrolet cars when considering futures purchases because of this. Probably not but I may be more commited to the brand than most. If BringGo was not featured in Chevy ads I would not bother with another post such as this, but it is and everytime I see one I cringe.
So CCS/A, please come back and give us an update.

chevy reminds me a lot like microsoft. they generally have a lot of issues with new stuff but everything works out beautifully in the end. look at the chevy 350, most well known engine in the world. it had its fare share of issues way back in the day. look at microsofts windows XP...so old yet so wonderful for reliability now.

Ah, the Chevy 350. Started life as what, a 268, back in the middle fifties?
I think the 5.3 going in the new Silverado is referred to as the fifth generation of that egine. Assembled in Tonawanda, NY, the same place that assembled the engine in my Corvair only my Corvair engine is a boxer six and not a V-8.
But we still need Chevy to step up and find a solution.

Hello All,
I just wanted to say we have not gone anywhere. If you have a concern with your BringGo system from a vehicle stand point we can assist. However, if it is an actual BringGo concern, then they will have to address the concern.
You can always send us a private message with your name, VIN, and concern so we can address you.

BringoGo doesn't care to address the problem, gets $60 a pop for their software and you're on your own pretty much support wise.
