GM confirms $130,000 Cadillac Escalade IQ won’t have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto | GM said it was going to drop Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in all vehicles, and now, that includes Cadillac’s l…::Cadillac confirms its new Google built-in infotainment leaves no room for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Instead, Google built-in is running the 55-inch infotainment screen.
I’m not the target audience for this to begin with, but I refuse to own a car ever again that doesn’t have Android Auto. What a bunch of anti-consumer bullshit. What are the odds GM starts charging a subscription fee to access apps on these vehicles?
I agree. It’s a line in the sand at this point.
I remember back in the 90s looking at these super cool CD players people and installed. I’m sure the nice ones were insanely expensive. CarPlay/Android Auto is a better UI than literally any other option ever put in a car. End of story.
apple and google are helping lead the charge against carplay and android auto
I refuse to own a car that doesn’t have a DIN slot for my own tech.
What modern vehicles still have that? Most of the cars I’ve had lately and aren’t even modern have proprietary shit
I have a 2016 Jeep which is relatively modern and installed an aftermarket head unit.
2016 model year is 8 years old + now…
Lmao… i didn’t even realise how old my 2012 is
cries in a 2007 Yaris
car makers started phasing out dins in 2013 and they don’t give warnings if newer models don’t include them, so you better buy sooner rather than later
It is unlikely that I will ever buy something newer than 2005. I’m in a 1994 right now.
that’s why theyre doing it and both apple and google are helping them.
