Unfortunately, GM wants to get rid of Android Auto and Apple Carplay. They want to exclusively use Android Automotive. It looks like Android Auto but it’s standalone. GM claims this way the smart software will be more integrated with the car’s hardware… which sounds ridiculous to me.
Can’t find the exact model we bought of aliexpress a few years ago. But I’d recommend watching some reviews on the Chinese AA screens.
Good working ones are a dime in a dozen sadly.

They likely want to go the Tesla route: features people have to pay multiple times for, rented features, recalls via software update, etc. I believe investors rewarded them when they made this announcement. Everyone should know that in most cases what’s good for investors is bad for customers.

Edit: More clear (I hope)

The true purpose is most likely the car has more of your info. Probably a mix of gathering metrics on their cars and selling your data.

Some of the aftermarket AA kits are actually pretty decent. we basically have a big tablet mounted over the original dash of the safira .
Any suggestions? Which do you use?
