GM said it was going to drop Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in all vehicles, and now, that includes Cadillac’s latest EV.
minus-squaresparky@lemmy.federate.cclinkfedilinkEnglish22•1 year agoI agree with you. CarPlay is a must have feature in 2023. I wouldn’t buy a car without a backup camera or parking sensors anymore, and I sure as hell won’t buy a car without CarPlay either. It’s such a bizarre decision by GM.

minus-squaresparky@lemmy.federate.cclinkfedilinkEnglish8•1 year agoI think that’s true but the point stands, that’s an essential feature for a new car, as I believe CarPlay / Android Auto should be :-)

Yeah, since May 2018
