Here’s what’s really going on with GM’s CarPlay strategy (or lack thereof)
General Motors has clarified that it is not reversing its decision to remove Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from its electric vehicles. The recent announcement regarding a new picture-in-picture phone mirroring system applies exclusively to gas-powered light-duty pickups like the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra. These gas models have always supported phone projection, and GM confirmed that this feature will remain available in them for the foreseeable future.
