Buick and GMC Announce CarPlay Coming to Select 2016 Vehicles

by

General Motors today announced that select 2016 model year Buick and GMC vehicles will support CarPlay and Android Auto through the IntelliLink system, including the 2016 Buick LaCrosse and Regal and 2016 GMC Canyon, Yukon and Sierra. Buick and GMC will support CarPlay at the beginning of the model year and add Android Auto compatibility to select vehicles later in the model year.

The built-in IntelliLink screen will indicate when a CarPlay or Android Auto compatible smartphone is connected via USB, enabling 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.

GM announced in late May that it is adding CarPlay and Android Auto support to 14 new 2016 Chevrolet models later this year, with the 650 HP Corvette Z06 the first vehicle to roll off the assembly line and head to dealerships. GM's luxury car brand Cadillac will also be adding CarPlay and Android Auto support to its 2016 model vehicles equipped with a CUE 8-inch multi-touch screen, excluding the SRX Crossover.

If you want to make that conclusion about one car, I'll make my judgements about Japanese and British design based on this:

Sorry, if you base you car buying decision on whether it has CarPlay or not there is something wrong.

This just in:
Barbie & Ken Roadster to get Carplay.

That is how important these threads are. MR you can do better. We get it there will be more and more cars with it.

BTW: Never saw the San Francisco Apple store report. Millionaire's wife sues Apple for profiling her daughter, because she was black and had a black AMEX card!
Last week.
I lease my vehicle's so do not make any modifications. The stock player is actually important for this reason. It is a must for my next car. That may be wrong to you, but it is important to me. The car I have for 24 months pretty much stays as is from the day I get it.

Before anyone says it.....I do not need advice on leasing vs buying or how people think it is a waste. I like to have a new car every few years and never worry about maintenance.
