GM is offering a new infotainment system that phases out Apple's popular CarPlay software, leaving some dealers perplexed.

A big gamble by General Motors (GM) is causing consternation for its dealers in the all-important race to sell cars — namely electric vehicles.

    100% agree. I still have a 40” 1080p dumb tv because I can’t find one that I trust to not do something annoying/invasive.

    I nearly bought the same one my friend has (Samsung something) as it seemed pretty inoffensive, until he told me it had started showing ads on the menu screens a few months after he bought it.

      I just blocked the TV’s MAC address at the router, and plugged in an AppleTV (I trust Apple way more than any tv manufacturer). Turning it on just shows what on Input 1 (the ATV), completely bypassing any internal “smart” apps.
