Cadillac Announces CarPlay and Android Auto Support Coming to 2016 Models
GM today announced that its luxury car brand Cadillac will add CarPlay and Android Auto support to its 2016 model year vehicles, which will begin rolling out this summer.
CarPlay will be available in all 2016 vehicles equipped with a CUE 8-inch multi-touch screen, excluding the SRX Crossover, while Android Auto will be phased in at a later date.
"Cadillac CUE provides owners a smart and simple way to access both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A “Projection” icon will appear on the CUE screen, to enable simpler, easier access to key smartphone functions, including navigation, contacts, hands-free text messaging and select applications supported by Apple or Google."
CarPlay-equipped vehicles have a built-in touchscreen display that provides quick and easy access to Maps, Phone, Messages, Music, Podcasts and third-party apps such as Spotify, Rdio, iHeartRadio, CBS Radio and MLB At Bat. CarPlay also uses Siri voice control and interfaces with your vehicle's knobs, dials and buttons for hands-free or eyes-free control of your iPhone.
Apple also introduced a handful of CarPlay improvements during its WWDC keynote this week, including support for apps developed by carmakers to control the in-car experience and compatibility with larger and wider screens. CarPlay will also function wirelessly in future vehicles, eliminating the need to take your iPhone out of your pocket or bag after getting in your vehicle.
GM is also adding CarPlay support to 14 new 2016 Chevrolet models later this year.

but I'm not going to convince you of that. Just like nobody will ever convince me that Porche's look good. Or BMW's are worth it, or the like. Purely subjective thing looks are.
Some people just like to believe their opinions should be shared by everyone and get angry when they aren't.
Cadillac isn't aiming to be like Lincoln, Acura, Buick Volvo, etc where they sell you on value. They want to be like BMW and Mercedes where you buy based on the badge even if the car wearing the badge is a vehicle that dilutes it( the new FWD 1 series and CLA).
They have not doing a good job with it because their marketing sucks and dealers can't change their business model from either selling $80k Escalades or putting vinyl tops on the CTS to sell to old people..... And of course they are now getting past the mistake they have been making for the past 10 years of value pricing themselves.
CUE is much improved compared to the initial version of it. Have no issues with it in my dads 2014 ATS. Only area where it is still a bit laggy is the zoom in/out animation of the navigation map, but everything else is fluid and responsive.
